Emotional intelligence (EQ) is proving to be one of the most critical skills for student success—far surpassing IQ in its impact on future outcomes. Research shows that self-control, a core component of EQ, is a stronger predictor of financial success than IQ or family background, helping students make better decisions and avoid costly mistakes (Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study). Beyond self-control, self-awareness—the ability to understand one’s strengths and interests—empowers students to choose the right paths for their futures.

Did you know that nearly 30% of undergraduates change their majors? This costs families between $9,375 and $35,852 for every additional year of tuition (BestColleges, 2023).These challenges extend beyond finances, with 44% of college students reporting symptoms of depression and 37% battling anxiety as they struggle to find their way (Healthy Minds Study, 2022). Integrating emotional intelligence into state-standards-aligned curriculum not only helps students uncover their strengths, but also equips them with the resilience and clarity they need to thrive in school, career, and life.

PathFinder is leading this charge, helping students build EQ and self-awareness to confidently make decisions that align with their goals and aspirations.
