Emotional Intelligence - The Marshmallow Test

Daniel Goleman, psychologist and author, discusses his "impulse control" test, focusing on emotional stability over IQ.
The test, administered in the 1960s, involved 4-year-old children presented with a marshmallow.
Children could eat the marshmallow immediately or wait for two marshmallows later.
A significant portion ate the marshmallow within seconds.
Follow-up tests on the same children revealed a strong correlation between the ability to delay gratification and social/emotional competence.
Children who resisted eating the marshmallow showed greater resilience, self-reliance, and confidence.
Those who ate it immediately exhibited greater stubbornness, indecisiveness, and susceptibility to stress.
Goleman highlighted the surprising diagnostic power of this seemingly simple test.
The test demonstrated a direct link between emotional control in early childhood and later social and emotional well-being.
