does a person with high IQ possesses low EQ?

Answer 1

Not necessarily, but it is a possibility.

HTH : )

Answer 2

EQ stands for Emotional intelligence quotient, which has come out recently as a means to determine actual intelligence...In other words I know a girl with a photographic memory and the ability to instantly solve complex mathematical equations, but, will throw the tantrum of a two-year-old if something doesn't go her way.....Hence, high IQ, low EQ..Which is not always the case, Marilyne Vos Savant being a good example of an emotionally stable genius..

Answer 3

Perhaps it is a developmental issue? Right brain vs Left brain? Yes I agree there are so many high IQ individuals who have low EQ. The five factors of EQ are; Self-awareness. Self-regulation. Motivation Empathy Social Skills So, having low Social Skills may not be the only factor in determining the level of EQ. I think your question will be answered best by PHD level psychologists or someone at that level. In my opinion, since we are emotional beings we cannot separate the two. So, they may not work to compliment each other but certainly they are intricately connected. Interesting concept to ponder about. Thanks for making my day!

Answer 4

EQ has no validity with those in the cognitive testing field. Only some social scientists give it credence. Cognition and emotion are intertwined, as shown by the work of the neurologists, Hanna and Antonio Damasio. Extremely high intelligence has been linked with several emotional/empathy depressors, such as Asperger's syndrome. Many physical scientist seem like this. But, as there is no dichotomy, there is no separate EQ. This, as many other social science proposals, has little empirical support.

Answer 5

You've got the intellectual credentials: You did pretty well in school, maybe have a college diploma or even an advanced degree. You got high scores on your SATs and GREs, or even on that holy grail of the intellect, the IQ test. You may even be in Mensa, the select high-IQ club.

That's fine when it comes to intelligence of the academic variety. But how bright are you outside the classroom, when it comes to life's stickier moments? There you need other kinds of resourcefulness -- most especially emotional intelligence, a different way of being smart.


High IQ & High E-IQ

Emotional intelligence gives you a competitive edge. Even at Bell Labs, where everyone is smart, studies find that the most valued and productive engineers are those with the traits of emotional intelligence -- not necessarily the highest IQ. Having great intellectual abilities may make you a superb fiscal analyst or legal scholar, but a highly developed emotional intelligence will make you a candidate for CEO or a brilliant trial lawyer.

Empathy and other qualities of the heart make it more likely that your marriage will thrive. Lack of those abilities explains why people of high IQ can be such disastrous pilots of their personal lives.

An analysis of the personality traits that accompany high IQ in men who also lack these emotional competencies portrays, well, the stereotypical nerd: critical and condescending, inhibited and uncomfortable with sensuality, emotionally bland. By contrast, men with the traits that mark emotional intelligence are poised and outgoing, committed to people and causes, sympathetic and caring, with a rich but appropriate emotional life -- they're comfortable with themselves, others, and the social universe they live in.

A high IQ may get you into Mensa, but it won't make you a mensch.

Emotional Intelligence - EQ - is a relatively recent behavioural model, rising to prominence with Daniel Goleman's 1995 Book called 'Emotional Intelligence'. Emotional Intelligence is increasingly relevant to organizational development and developing people, because the EQ principles provide a new way to understand and assess people's behaviours, management styles, attitudes, interpersonal skills, and potential.

Emotional Intelligence is an important consideration in human resources planning, job profiling, recruitment interviewing and selection, management development, customer relations and customer service, and more. It plays a more impt role in the corporate world. nowadays.

Emotional Intelligence links strongly with concepts of love and spirituality: bringing compassion and humanity to work, and also to 'Multiple Intelligence' theory which illustrates and measures the range of capabilities people possess, and the fact that everybody has a value.

The EQ concept argues that IQ, or conventional intelligence, is too narrow; that there are wider areas of emotional intelligence that dictate and enable how successful we are. Success requires more than IQ (Intelligence Quotient), which has tended to be the traditional measure of intelligence, ignoring essential behavioral and character elements. We've all met people who are academically brilliant and yet are socially and inter-personally inept. And we know that despite possessing a high IQ rating, success does not automatically follow.

Sometimes yes and sometimes no. Sometimes they are brunette with flat feet and crooked teeth...and sometimes they are blonde...
