IQ is so superior that the co-existence of EQ becomes redundant.?

Question

Do u agree with this statement? why?

Answer 1

If EQ is a valid measurement, extremely poor measurements in it would interfere with the ability to communicate with others and make use of one's IQ, so I would not say that EQ becomes redundant.

Answer 2

Depends on what you have in mind as IQ and EQ addresses different kind of problem one encounters in life.
Generally, IQ addresses problems that are more scientific/technical in nature whereas EQ addresses problems that are people/social in nature.
Base on that, when a person has an IQ that is so superior and that same person is so inferior in EQ, the end result will be miniscule comparing to another person who has the another way round. The world goes around with people as the proverbial saying "no man is an island" holds true.
In short, I disagree with the statement except in a very narrowest case of certain scientific/technical arena.

Answer 3

If EQ were an honest to god rating of emotional adjustment & stability, it would be great.

Be wonderful to know if your genius is good or evil, a prima donna or team player, Mr Positive or Joe Emo.

My guess though, is that EQ was invented by a bunch of bone headed liberal academics, concerned that IQ was being used to discriminate against the less intellegent.

So it would be deliberately useless, not redundant.
