Correct Answer:

High Emotional Intelligence

Explanation:

Emotional intelligence (EQ) is the ability to perceive, understand, manage, and use emotions effectively. It is a crucial skill for success in life, as it allows individuals to build strong relationships, manage stress, and make sound decisions.

Atul's ability to monitor his own and others' emotions, discriminate between them, and use this information to guide his thinking and actions suggests that he has a high level of EQ. This ability to understand and manage emotions is a key component of emotional intelligence.

Salovey and Mayer considered emotional intelligence as “the ability to monitor one’s own and other’s emotions, to discriminate among them, and to use the information to guide one’s thinking and actions”. Emotional Quotient (EQ) is used to express emotional intelligence in the same way as IQ is used to express intelligence.
