What your use of emojis says about your emotional intelligence

87% Informative

Indiana University study found people with higher emotional intelligence and secure attachment may send emojis more frequently.

This is because texters used them reduce uncertainty in what their messages were conveying, thus recognizing how the recipient may interpret the communication.

This was more common among women who tend to express themselves on a more intimate level.

Meanwhile, people who suffer from avoidant attachment issues are less likely to share.

Men in the survey were found to have higher levels of attachment avoidance than women.
