What is social intelligence?

Social intelligence includes two main facets. The first is “social awareness”.

Social awareness incorporates:

Primal empathy: Being able to sense others’ feelings through nonverbal signals

Attunement: Listening with full receptivity; ‘tuning in’ with a person

Empathic accuracy: Understanding another person’s thoughts, feelings, and intentions

Social cognition: Understanding how the social world works

The second facet is “social facility”.

Social facility incorporates:

Synchrony: Easily interacting with others at the nonverbal level

Self-presentation: Presenting ourselves well

Influence: Shaping the outcome of social interactions

Concern: Caring about others’ needs and acting accordingly
