[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me, I feel like I always have to explain to people that natural intelligence matters more than SES when it comes to being successful.[/quote]

Maybe for a few professions such as rocket science but even then you need emotional intelligence to implement science well, navigate ethics and work with others.  I suspect that you are trolling but I’ll rebuff your claims at face value 😀

It is believed that your IQ accounts for only 20% of your success in life. The other 80% is determined by your emotional intelligence and social intelligence.Feb 16, 2022

What Is Emotional Intelligence?
Conventional wisdom has it that there's a direct connection between our IQ and our ability to succeed in life. In school, we're ranked by our GPA. At certain points in grade school, students are given standardized tests that rank them against other students around the country. Schools are obsessed with how their students rank compared to others. A requirement for most colleges is a satisfactory score on the SAT or ACT exam. These tests are basic IQ tests designed to gauge our math skills and reading comprehension.

…We must learn how to manage our emotions. Unless we learn to manage our emotions, we will constantly be battling feelings of gloom and distress.
We must learn to motivate ourselves, learn emotional self-control, and delay gratification.
If we are to succeed in life, we need to learn to recognize emotions in others. We need to develop empathy; we need to be attuned to what others want or need.

[b]Is IQ or EQ more important in determining your success at work?[/b]
BY HARVEY DEUTSCHENDORF
3 MINUTE READ
At one time, IQ was considered the prime determinant as to how well we did in our lives.  Psychologists, such as Howard Gardner, felt that IQ was too narrow a measure of someone’s ability and proposed that there were multiple intelligences. Then came Daniel Goleman, who in his groundbreaking work, Emotional Intelligence: Why it Can Matter More than IQ, suggested that something called emotional intelligence, or EQ can be just as important as IQ.

…
Our IQ is largely set by the time we get to our late adolescence. Our EQ, on the other hand, is highly malleable, and we can increase it at any point in our lives if we are determined to do so. In my book, The Other Kind of Smart, I use the analogy of a race car to explain the connection between IQ and EQ. I use the race car as a symbol of us making our way through life. The engine and components are our IQ. It is what we have been given to operate with. The driver is our EQ. If we are fortunate to be given a powerful engine and great components we could be set for success.

However, there is more to it than that. The driver (EQ) has control over how effectively these components are used, and their ability to work together. We all know stories of very smart people who have crashed and burned because of their inability to operate themselves effectively. We also know people who would not score that high on an IQ test and have not done well in school, who are doing remarkably well in life. Of course, the combination of a powerful engine and well designed components in the hands of a highly skilled driver gives us a tremendous advantage. So our success in life is to a great degree determined by how effectively we are able to use both our IQ and EQ in harmony with each other[/quote]
