So, I have been reading up on Emotional Intelligence. [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotional_intelligence] This is the basic run through, but if you don't want to read it, basically it is a measure of how well you can read people by one look and how you can be perceived. I've heard from a number of my teachers that you can actually be more successful if you have a high EQ than a high IQ. Which is possible, but I had a direct question on this. The higher your IQ does that mean your EQ is lower? I think it's a common known fact that people with a higher IQ tend to have a lack of social skills, so I attempted to put two and two together and say "Does that mean having a high IQ will put your with a low EQ?" However, when I came to this conclusion I thought of a second question "Does it apply both ways?" Does a person with a lower IQ have a high EQ? Possibly. I would like to discuss this topic more, and I think the armor games community would find some type of interest in this. And I just discovered something called SQ, which I guess means Social Intelligence? I have not studied as much on the third, but one and two I've done a considerable amount of reading on. So I guess my question is this Forum. Which is the most important? Intelligence Quality? Emotional Quality? Or Social Quality?
The term is EI (emotion intelligence) the measure is EQ (intelligence quotient).
Ah, I see.
I agree but IQ leads to better; health, income and longevity. Of course and low EI could be crippling. But EI and IQ are not correlated except for the low end of the distribution.
Who needs health, income, and longevity. Pfft. /sarcasm
It's really pointless if you only have one quality of the three.
Well I've never heard of the third so I would say two. If your happy because your success (IQ) or happy with your surroundings (friends, EI) it's all good.
