Which among the following best describe the emotional intelligence of learners?

Understanding one's own and others' emotions, situational self-regulation, openness to criticism and empathy best describe emotional intelligence, so statements 1, 4, 5 and 6 are the answer.

Emotional intelligence, popularised by Daniel Goleman, is the capacity to perceive, use, understand and manage emotions.

Understanding emotions in oneself and others is its foundational self-awareness and social-awareness component.

Situational self-regulation is the management of one's emotional responses, a core Goleman domain.

Empathy, sensing others' feelings, is a central pillar of emotional intelligence.

Aggressive expression of feelings (statement 2) and viewing humans as mere information processors (statement 3) contradict emotional intelligence.
