Yes, he or she is actually described as emotionally disabled. I learned about this when I took my Teaching Special Education class in college, for my BA (elementary education) degree. Many children who actually suffer from emotional disturbance or disability are often mislabeled as being mentally disabled or "retarded", autistic...or just "bad" kids with uncontrollable behavior or negative, harmful habits (drinking, drugs). Yet many people who are ED/LD (emotionally disturbed, learning disabled) are very intelligent, but are challenged emotionally because of abuse, neglect, and/or trauma that they have suffered or witnessed in their past. It takes a great deal of patience and resourcefulness to work with people that suffer from this, but I believe it's really worth it. Have you ever seen Good Will Hunting? Good example there. Anyway hope this answers your Q.

Emotionally retarded is not a very nice way of putting things, usually it called arrested emotional development, where someone physically matures to adulthood, but due to childhood trauma that are unable to emotionally advance past the state they were in when the trauma occurred. its a serious disorder that affects millions of people.

The IQ tests work on a bell curve, not a line. There's a very small handful people in the world with IQ 150, because most of them are around average. How emotional IQ just means you're more emotional. It can be good or bad.

there are quite a few people that are emotionally retarded, mostly men but some women. I don't think it is its own disease or anything I just think certain people have a rough time dealing with his or her emotions either due to something that happened in the past or due to someone...
