It is generally accepted that there are two Dimensions of Emotion.
All emotions are either positive or negative.
Were all emotion positive, it would be one dimensional.
Two dimensions of emotion allow choice.
Choice allows emotion to be multi-dimensional.
All emotions are either male or female.
When I perceive an emotion to be either male or female and either positive or negative, it becomes 4 dimensional.
Perceiving 4 dimensions of emotion in a 3 dimensional world is quite difficult.
All emotions have a gender and a polarity.
Emotion has 2 dimensions of gender and 2 dimensions of polarity.
Perceiving either the gender or the polarity of my emotion is not difficult.
Trying to perceive the intensity of both the gender and polarity is not so easy.
Emotional Intelligence requires the perception of multiple dimensions of emotion.
