The difference between average and outstanding? Emotional intelligence.
Your next job may depend on your EQ... and not your IQ.
Emotional intelligence shows how you can apply your smarts.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DANIEL GOLEMAN:
Daniel Goleman is a psychologist, lecturer, and science journalist who has reported on the brain and behavioral sciences for The New York Times for many years. His 1995 book, Emotional Intelligence (Bantam Books) was on The New York Times bestseller list for a year and a half.
Goleman is also the author of Ecological Intelligence: How Knowing the Hidden Impacts of What We Buy Can Change Everything. The book argues that new information technologies will create “radical transparency,” allowing us to know the environmental, health, and social consequences of what we buy. As shoppers use point-of-purchase ecological comparisons to guide their purchases, market share will shift to support steady, incremental upgrades in how products are made - changing every thing for the better.
His latest book is Altered Traits: Science Reveals How Meditation Changes Your Mind, Brain, and Body, which he has co-authored with Richard Davidson reveals the science of what meditation can really do for us, as well as exactly how to get the most out of it.

TRANSCRIPT:
Daniel Goleman: Since I started writing about and researching emotional intelligence in business, I found that data in support of it has only gotten stronger. I saw recently a study, this surprised me, engineers, software coders and so on were evaluated by their peers, people who work with them day-to-day on how successful they were at what they do. This turns out to be one of the strongest predictors of success in any field. And that was correlated with their IQ in one hand and their emotional intelligence on the other. And when I say emotional intelligence they were evaluated on a 360 that looks at all 12 of the key emotional intelligence competencies that distinguish star performers from average. The surprise was this: IQ correlated zero, zero with their success as rated by peers.Emotional intelligence correlated very, very highly. Well, why would that be? Well consider this, in order to be an engineer you have to have an IQ about a standard deviation or more above average, that's an IQ of about 115 or so. And another recent paper shows that there's no relationship between career success and an IQ above 120.
The reason is this: there is a strong floor effect for IQ in any role. All engineers have an IQ of 115 or more, so the range of variance is very reduced for IQ and success. Emotional intelligence however varies radically. So emotional intelligence means: How well you manage yourself. Can you work toward your goals despite obstacles? Do you give up too soon? Do you have a negative outlook or a positive outlook? These are all emotional intelligence competencies that matter for success.
Then there's the relationship competencies: Can you tune in to other people? Do you notice other people? I remember hearing about two MIT grads who went into a giant tech company, one of them went around to other members of her team and asked, "What are you doing? How can I help? The other stayed in his office and wrote code all day. It's very clear who was going to get ahead; it was the one who wanted to be a team player. You don't write code in isolation anymore; everyone works on projects together. You may write the code but you have to coordinate, you have to influence, you have to persuade, you have to be a good team member. All of those are emotional intelligence competencies that distinguish outstanding from average performers.
So when you think about it that way, it makes sense that even among engineers emotional intelligence will predict who is a star and who's just mediocre. And when you think about this at the organizational level it means you want to be sure to include emotional intelligence when you consider hiring people. I have a friend at an executive recruiting company that specializes in C-level hires, CEOs, CFOs and so on. And they once did a study internally of people they had recommended who turn out to be bad and were so bad they were fired. So these were failures, they were surprised to have failures, but they realized when they looked more carefully that these were people who were hired because of business expertise and IQ and fired because of a deficiency in em...

"When asked to rank co-workers, people rated the people they liked higher than the people with high IQ."
I guess being nice to people makes them like you. Huh.
Ground breaking stuff for sure.
@ wow a literal Jewish shill
@jazz live well, I am indian.. And guess what - jews lived in india too and NEVER had any problems here..
They lived beside hindus, muslims and Christians. And never had 'any issue' ever. Rather they integrated perfectly well and became model citizens, rising to high positions in various professions and business.
India is one of the only countries in the world where jews were never persecuted. The only time they faced persecution was when the Portuguese invaded and started persecuting jews.
They were kicked out from 109 countries NOT because they are bad, but because of the inherent anti-semitism in Christian and Islamic societies.
So, well, your analogy says more about YOU than them. So also your vile bigoted comment. It's such a joke you think your hate against them is justified.
and this is why meritocracy doesn't work.
IQ is kinda everything if you want to excel in reasoning, abstract thinking and solving complex problems Daniel
but you basically a vonrable little human LOW eq equals the left
and emotional intelligence is kinda everything when you have to use those skills and work with other people. As you do in the real world.
You need both IQ & EQ to be successful.
That's not true
@@TheGamingDandy Let me guess, you believe in only IQ? Times have changed if you ask me.
@@hermanjohnson9180 no, I don't believe in "IQ" as a concept actually, because I don't believe intelligence is quantifiable, but that wasn't even my point.
My point was that you don't need what is traditionally seen as "intelligence" or to be emotionally intelligent either to be successful. There are lots of completely incompetent people in positions their not qualified for.
@@TheGamingDandy I see.
Regarding your point.. Those people are usually using an outside influence to their advantage. Whether it's social connections, family, or person (or persons) who finds an attractive trait for a selected position.
In retrospect, it almost seems at least in part, that you've commented just to disagree with the video.
@@TheGamingDandy he is true ..its all right if u can have it
Emotional intelligence is crucial for a great leader....failures lack this important trait.....
A person becomes emotionally intelligent through life and social situations that this people lives, it is not learned in a university. So how can people. How can we become emotionally enough to be accepted into a work team and not fail?
Emotional intelligence is what separates great leaders from average leaders.
Incorrect. A leader with high EQ and low IQ is worse than a leader with high IQ and low EQ.
@@infini_ryu9461 i made an assumption it does exist, never said i think it does.
@@lecommentar9851 for some reason, I think IQ and EQ intersects
@@lecommentar9851 Oof. What a close-minded way to look at life. I've met genius level people who have absolutely no self-awareness who couldn't lead a team out of a paperbag. Nobody respected them, they didn't care for the team, so the team left them behind and they didn't get promoted. It goes both ways. I want a competent leader who cares about their team.
@@TalisLoki I'd disagree. Both are bad but a leader with decent IQ is much more useful even if they aren't too good on the team part than a high "EQ" leader. Yeah sure they'll be good with the team but nothing useful will be brought to the table.
It really looks like this should just be called emotional maturity and people skills. I see "emotional intelligence" as a self-contradictory term because intelligence is directly related to rational thinking, not emotions.
It is in actual fact Emotional Awareness!
I find there's a direct correlation between the importance of "EQ" and that person's IQ. The lower someone's IQ, the more important "EQ" is to them. People with high IQ couldn't care less about "EQ". It's basically a coping mechanism.
Exactly.
Thank you
I need examples of emotional intelligence
EQ - manipulates emotions/ body language and effects on those around them, can manipulate people (extroverts on average? Managers?, politicians?, care givers?, businessmen?)
IQ - manipulate environments, concepts (introverts on average? Engineers?, scientists?, gamers?, mathematician?, artists?).
It would be good to see a data set on this.
This is actually why people tend to think that introversion is the least desirable option, since a lack of sociability is more commonly associated with introversion than extroversion. EQ isn't specific to either.
Quick question: why do you think businessmen have to have higher EQ, and not IQ so much?
why are you speaking in terms of manipulation?
EQ has NOTHING to do with manipulation whatsoever. To conflate that, is to be light years off base.
@@ioncorrea8 it was a generalisation of what I have seen from my perspective, for example;
IQ high individuals are more in mathematics, programming, engineering, science and so on, they understand the external concepts, example Einstein
Where as people with high EQ, like Alan sugar, Elon musk and so on, not saying their IQ is low obviously but it does seem when generalising that this does see to fit well.
Look up top recorded IQs then you will see what they are well known for, then consider all the top business men/ women they don't have world record IQs (given they are smarter then average) but none of them seem introverted like many with high IQs in science, math etc... As a general
@@Alphacentauri819 I don't think you read the whole of what I wrote, it was a generalisation and I put question marks for others input.
I liked this video, but need more info there at the end. He said emotional intelligence was learnable, but gave no recommendations as to where one would go for that.
Very interesting. Here in the UK EQ is now the defacto intelligence parameter that is assessed in recruitment and HR psychometric testing. The emphasis is on questions requiring explanatory narrative answers about common workplace scenarios and self awareness. EQ correlates strongly with success in every aspect of life which has to do with social interaction and human negotiation, it's important for creativity and lateral thinking too. These will become increasingly important competencies as AI begins to replace basic logic and methodology based work tasks. All of the world's most successful people from Musk to Branson will have very high EQ .... there is no such thing as a successful misanthrope or nihilist and this is often a fact that seems to be overlooked by those willing to criticise the mega successful.
A lot of philosophers were misanthropes
I think a more accurate term would be SOCIAL Intelligence or in the context of the co worker evaluation test, charisma.
you have a point
"Success as rated by peers". There in lies the problem. Why care how others judge you? Work for your own happiness.....not others.
No one needs IQ at work unless you have responsabilities. All you do is repetitive tasks so of course you only need emotional management.
if you read the" 48 laws of power" you'd know very well what this man is talking about ;)
Emotional intelligence= how well you manage yourself can you work on your goal without giving up, have a negative or positive outlook . Relationship competencies can you tune into other people can you notice people. Have to coordinate have to be a good team player
Emotional Intelligence is above all important for our personal lives! Emotional intelligence is what allows us to have quality relationships with others and ourselves.❤️#EQMatters
I think Hideo Kojima touched on this in his game METAL GEAR SOLID 5. When you get people to work for you in the game, you really only want to get ones with A rankings. Hideo is so ahead of his time.
The only point argued in this video is that there is another important factor in achieving success that can be overlooked by focusing on IQ alone. At a certain point on the general intelligence scale the social benefits of being more emotionally advanced may become a distinguishing characteristic. Granted, this is a theory that hasn't gotten as much attention yet as IQ has, but it seems pretty intuitive to me, and reacting by shutting it down from the outset is clearly an unscientific mentality to have, and an ironically emotional one considering how angry people are about it.
Mitch 91 🔥💯🔥
Hope I can emotionally intelligent pass this test an increase my scores as I'm prepping
Does it require good Emotional Intelligence to overcome passive nihilism?
I have been preaching this forever, amazing content. IQ and EQ are equally important, especially when taking leader positions. I love those psychology/research based videos! - Cheers, Patrick
hey man! how you doing? I was wondering if you could suggest any books or learning materials that preach about the topic of the video? I am about tap into this new topic and want to learn the fundamentals or basics befoe going deep into the topics and I want to have a clear vision abt it. thanks man!
EQ is bunk.
@@samueldawkins care to clarify?
@@alakaboy4049EQ boils down to Extroversion and agreeableness. There is no accurate way to measure EQ since every scientist or social psychologist that pushes this idea has a different definition of it. People that are categorized as high in EQ tend to be high in those two personality traits.
EQ is still on debate, in my opinion people take it as something that exists and can be changed to not feel bad about the fact that IQ can be accurately measure, your are born with it and there is no theory that proves that you can increase it.
@@JosephSmitsGoldenplatesimhalla
Multiple sources says that EQ is measured in Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, Relationship Management. People high in EQ are self-aware, aware of others (feelings/thoughts/needs etc), resourceful in managing relationships and have ability to self control/self correct. Very different parameters than being extroverted and agreeable. There may be some correlation between those traits and high EQ but it’s not a strict relationship nor a rule. You can be high EQ and introverted and not agreeable. Just like you can be tall and not play basketball. Classic "affirming the consequent” logical fallacy.
IQ is not a true intelligence. EQ is not a true intelligence either. Intelligence is an ability to solve problems. Real life is multifaceted and complex. Raw cognitive horsepower wins in controlled environment like tests or isolated tasks. Life is not a drag strip with fixed conditions and perfect grip. It’s full of tricky turns, slippery curves, unpredictable situations, changing surface, durability tests, stress of all sorts. You need more than raw IQ to reach goals and be successful in various different endeavours. What’s the point of knowing theory when in real life it doesn’t work?
So much BS about emotional intelligence (this applies to typical middle managers who are politicians rather than anything else), naturally, one has to be respectful and considerate with all (ok most) people , however, IQ does matter when it comes to be productive/efficient/successful. I can solve in two-four hours what twelve Engineers can't in two weeks, that has value and it is reflected on my $$$alary and life style LOL.
Your emotions don't help to engineer that bridge that needs to built. This is new speak to make the idiots feel better for being idiots!
The formula for success is passing all the work to others & taking all the credit.
This is cheating
Most intelligence is...How will you manage your life..That is Great Sir.
I am alive yoday..because of this EQ balance. IF i hqve a IQ ..actually I would not alive today.
IQ can't touch our mind .
If all engineers have an IQ above 115, then IQ matters a lot more than EQ. You could have the highest EQ in the world but if your IQ is below 100 you simply won't be an engineer. Saying that EQ correlates to career success for people above 115 is like saying that the ability to manage your money correlates to financial success for billionaires.
This touch me so much, i work as a software engineer, and didn't realize i was lacking emotional intelligence until i was introduce for the first time in a work place. I wasn't even able to assist to a meet with people from another areas of speciallization in the office, i was improving in code but didn't have the tools to let know others how much i care about the goals.
This is also extreme relevant after Linus Torvalds decision about a few weeks ago to get away from his Linux kernel role as the BDFL and try to learn empathy.
Keep it up and you will do great.
Yes you have this video under education and I like to know your qualifications of being a teacher of this subject I would also like to know how many years you have study and have taught this subject
I'm an engineer. In my own experience most people are dead weight. I've had success going it alone as long as you demonstrate results consistently and build a limited network of other top performers. People who can do that and learn how to manage others can skip middle management and all the ass kissing that goes with it and go straight from star producer to upper management. Playing nice is the route for mediocre people to reach their fullest potential of middle management.
truuuuuuue being nice never got me anywhere
Good for you man. I am the reverse. The only thing I achieve is with help of others. Every big decision I had made on my own failed me miserably unless I introduce it to other people. I am that middle guy that you skip lol. Wish it would be diffrent, but I have no idea how can you change my hard wired behaviour.
Aaah, you mean communication.
Well, not technically true. The people who get far in life are the people who lie the most. Technically a person can be considered highly sociable and highly likable by lying all the time whereas a person can be likable if they don't lie but if their emotions end up negative for any reason they tend to be honest about their negative feelings and then that makes them unlikable. I can't remember where I read it but the most popular people tend to be people who can lie the most effectively and the ability to lie well is associated with people who are popular. People tend to only dislike people who are bad liars, which doesn't really say much for people who are good liars and don't really get caught often. People who are honest can go either way but generally only do well if they don't have emotionally negative feelings, and if confronted by someone who irks their sensibilities might be less able to hide their displeasure to maintain a relationship compared to someone who can effectively lie about their displeasure and mask their dislike to maintain a relationship. Everyone lies and there are "good" lies so it kind of makes you think differently about what it means to be emotionally intelligent in the first place.
I feel as though I'm not the most perfectly emotionally intelligent person in existence, but I do think that I can be decently mature at times, although in recent past I've found other people messing with me has changed the perception of me being considered someone who is nice to others, to me more because of people intentionally trying to change the view of me from others rather than me simply just acting out, while before that my ability to be seen as nice was higher. I think that intelligence doesn't really make much of a difference if you can't be nice, too, and it's kind of rare to find someone who is both nice and intelligent. To note, though, not being violent doesn't necessarily equate to being nice. I went from being seen as someone who was nice and well-behaved to someone who is a constant bully on others and even though I didn't personally feel it was true, others believing it anyway did end up negatively impacting my ability to remain calm and neutral toward others. Even when I knew what was being said wasn't true of me.
I would rather be honest, personally. I used to be the kind of person who had only positive thoughts but being mistreated has changed me. I still understand boundaries, though. It's very hard to respect boundaries, though, when other people won't do the same, and when there are people constantly chipping away at what those boundaries are. I would rather be moderately intelligent and nice than highly intelligent and someone who simply has to manipulate others to make themselves appear nice.
I've always thought it was strange that people favored honesty so highly when the only honesty people really favor is honesty that makes them feel good.
There's no such a thing as "emotional intelligence". That's one more of today's social dogmas...
0:58 "rated by peers" There is a big bias here, I think success rated by peers certainly will be tremendously affected by EQ, without a doubt. There are people who are not competent at all, but are great at using EQ to manipulate people's thoughts to their advantage
Dr. Goleman, how can I learn, improve, expand etc my emotional intelligence??
Engineer != Coder (source: Professional Engineers of Ontario).
I just did a video on emotional intelligence. wow the synchornicity
Wait so their peers evaluated them and it was (obviously) based on how much they like them and not their actual value as workers? Had they been valued strictly based on their performance by impartial people, it would correlate with IQ numbers. All this showed us is that you can suck at your job and keep it if people like you. Nothing new there.
Is this guy's study being funded by the NAACP? The importance of IQ is being brought to light for the general public finally and those who want to protect the people who are put in a bad light as a result of those facts, are pushing back.
Lol triggered alt right
Well, 115 iq is pretty high. So you can't say IQ don't matter. I think the speaker is trying to say everyone in the engineer field have 115 iq or higher. But what seperate the successful and unsuccessful one is their EQ. BTW 115 IQ means you are in the top 15 percent. IQ obviously matters.
being able to trust your employees, have a reliable team, or have open lines of communication has little to nothing to do with IQ. being able to solve a math puzzle faster than the average joe wont tell your employer your social management skills. besides, IQ has time and time again been disproven as an impartial metric and is relative at best.
Galt's Gooch bother because discretionary judgement is still and important measure for screening an effective team of people. its incredibly difficult to turn people into a series of numbers.
Galt's Gooch there are very few jobs that exist in social vacuums. being able to relate mathematic information through the socio-emotional ocean we all swim around in is irrefutably critical. a professor is nothing unless they can effectively relay information to pupils. a physician is nothing unless they can effectively communicate with their patients. an engineer is nothing unless they can coordinate with their collegues. a researcher is nothing unless they can access the social institutions to exchange data. a lawyer is nothing unless they can effectively communicate points to the jurors…
self-control, maternal attention in early childhood, and quality of care were shown to be better predictors of academic and job success than IQ. children given better care had higher IQ. though there is a correlation with genetics, having high IQ with bad social skills is anomalous and represents a smaller sample of high IQ individuals. in studies on orphaned children, children with genetically low chances of high IQ who were raised in loving homes showed vast boosts in inteligence and negligible difference from direct-offspring peers of comparable condition.
IQ is relative. it can be temporarily boosted with socially stimulating activities. hell, even a cup of coffee or mood will show a difference in score.
the famous Terman study show us once people pass the threshold at 120 there is indistinguishable benefit of increasing quotient. his subjects with more success had a better correlation to work ethic than quotient.
i got punchy when i said IQ had nothing to do with the aforementioned social skills and when we look at the evidence we can see that IQ is infact a byproduct of the conditions in which the other skills precipitate.
IQ is not useless, but its not exact on its own and its not the end all be all.
obviously theres going to be a difference between a milk man and a researcher at NASA but thats not a realistic scenario. specifically in the instance of hiring people you are presented with a group of similarly qualified individuals. when you got two really similar apples, it would be foolish to select the insecure, neurotic, shy guy over the socially sound one just because he’s got 15 points on the other.
…ahh what does it matter, keep jerking off. agree to partially disagree.
…ofcourse ‘EQ’/social metrics are relative. virtually any metric of cognition, including IQ, on its own is relative. alright im done, i promise.
It takes all types to drive this ship
Nice
I think high IQ people also try to improve their EQ or social skills. Ellon Must, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Albert Einstein, Muhammed Ali, etc. All of them i think that they have good social skills and they have above average IQ. They now leadership needs to bring people towards you and no exclude them.
Can anyone direct to me any evidence that suggests that emotional intelligence is a) real and b) different in any way, shape or form from IQ?
Jp: please sit on my face.
What do we do with allllll the JP's?
This guy seems to be conflating what psychologists call conscientiousness (work ethic) with (emotional) intelligence. They are entirely different things. Yes, IQ is not a single predictor of financial success as a very smart person who is also very lazy likely won't achieve much. In that sense the strongest predictor is your ability to work hard, although if you combine that with intelligence you'll do even better. But what is never talked about is that low IQ is a very strong predictor of failure.
Seems like you don't understand emotional intelligence, at all.
Emotional intelligence is not merely conscientiousness. It is being intelligent in regard to emotions.
This means you have good emotional regulation. It also means you can identify your own emotions, in real time, respond in healthy ways. You are comfortable with emotions & use them to direct growth and healthy behaviors. It also means you can easily understand other people's emotional states AND respond in appropriate ways. You're not uncomfortable with other's emotions. You accept the emotional world and are not consumed by it, nor dismissive of it.
You are a master of the full gamut of the emotional spectrum and can connect to most others because of your emotional competence. That is far, far beyond mere conscientiousness.
An intellectually intelligent person with low EQ cannot go as far as an intellectually intelligent person with high EQ. High EQ is social lubricant, awareness, the ability to establish rapport with others. If you are a genius, yet are a complete obtuse ass...that genius rarely matters. In select settings, it might be tolerated...but high EQ makes the environment so much better to be around.
@@Alphacentauri819 ah yes another half wit desperate to tell me how intelligent you are and how I don't understand the concept of emotional intelligence based on my one sentence passing reference to it. You're a sad little fellow aren't you? LOL.
The problem with emotional intelligence in that sense is exactly that it displaces and substitutes for technical relevance especially as it implies that corporate and institutional practices are absolutely beyond evaluation with regards to their definition of success. The assumption that corporate and institutional environments operate on the basis of the absolute prioritizing of competence is a misnomer, such that professional success can often be success ignoring the unperceived and covert incompetence/dysfunctions of corporate and institutional environments.
In other words, the prevalence of practices critically associated with corporate and institutional failures itself points to the fact that such environments cannot be construed as the absolute determinants of professional competence. Thirdly, such an absolute basis for defining success will mean that corporations and institutions are absolutely competent by default and not subject to the reform of their practices. In that case genuinely innovative professionals thinking-out-of-the-box of such corporate and institutional environments will certainly have no chance of being successful. On the other hand, individuals whose sole orientation is learning how to game-the-system and produce-the-relevant-minimum will very much thrive in sophistic practices that undermine the overall corporate and institutional purpose.
Okay bruddah
According to Jordan Peterson there is no such a thing named emotional intelligence. There is only intelligence.
So that whole concept of different types of intelligence is just fake?
And look where Jordan is now. He burned out and crashed. I feel bad for him because he lacked emotional intelligence, humility, and suffered extreme anxiety. For a guy who is supposed to be a self-help guru, he wasn't helping himself.
@@thebestworkplace4954 He is a human being. I believe his wife was battling cancer and at the same time his daughter was having medical problems....too much stress.
@@Seekthetruth3000 Yes ... and that is what emotional intelligence helps with. There is one domain of emotional intelligence called Self Management which helps you deal with the things he went through. I think he is intelligent, but he is also arrogant. How did that all meat diet go for him and his daughter?
@@thebestworkplace4954 that makes no sense at all 40 years as psychologist? proliferating with 2 national best seller books and watched by 100s of millions of people? there's really some heavily in-depth analysis with his lectures that connect old wisdom from ancient texts with 19th and 20th century philosophers to produce what is apparently is now the "self-help guru not helping himself?"
I just want to mention a book that I recently read about emotional intelligence. It's called AN EXTRAORDINARY APPROACH TO EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE. I didn't know that much about EQ.
EQ is something low-IQ folks invented LOL
I don’t think they were fired because of EQ... I think they were fired because they did not fit in and did not understand the organisation cultures and the mindsets of the employees. You can call it EQ if you preferred but just having good EQ does not mean that you can achieve targets and motivate people.
Sadly we don't know the entire story.
Seems you have confused disposition with emotional control. Team work shouldn't be focused on each others private concepts. A healthy disposition brings task and results in excellence. Without making any particular person own another pesons life issues.
That's a happy spin to a rather debatable situation in the corporate world or any other area of life where success is measured by who walks away with the most money from any collective effort. The truth isn't that sweet or flowery. It isn't about emotional intelligence as much as cunningness and street-smarts taking away the prize with the least effort or contribution. No one wants to talk about that. Honest, hard-working, and simple-minded people are stripped of the fruits of their labor in broad daylight. That happens all the time. There aren't many things in the world where you can generate huge amounts of wealth without finding some way of sitting in a position where somehow you become the rightful owner of the benefits that should go to the many. Give it any spin; the brutality of it cannot be overlooked. Please don't attribute something as high-minded as emotional intelligence to financially successful people in the corporate or business world. Some studies relate psychopathic traits to people in high positions. That sounds more accurate than this fairytale view of life.

Emotional Intelligence = IQ + Big 5 Traits
Your video is really good. I really believe that EQ can help in anything! #mastercommunication2020
Emotional Intelligence is also a Tool to be used negatively by the Higher Management to fire(Few insecure Ppl) an outstanding employee reason seeing their potential through Their EQ spectacles and getting threatened.
So, EQ alsi comprises NOT entertaining Mediocrity and bullshit and inventing own Path with developing network with Few like minded for Growth and Success.
There is a saying if u be around the ducks U cluck and if u be with Eagles U Fly High😊🙏
Emotional intelligence IS important in the workplace, but implying that it is more important (or even close to as important) than IQ in a STEM field is pretty stupid:
0:56 "As rated by peers" is a hell of a caveat. The people who piss me off at work usually do so by being shitty people, not shitty employees.
1:19 No citation given, didn't even name the publication, while giving a pretty radical refutation of a well documented fact
2:14 Tells a Goofus-and-Gallantesque story about a slacking social butterfly and a diligent worker, then frames time wasting and coattail riding as positive, and staying on task and working hard as negative, goes on to imply that the slacker's promotion was inevitable and logical, and supports this conclusion by criticizing a coder for coding instead of taking over their supervisor/coordinator's responsibilities.
2:50 It does NOT make sense logically, it is generally the result of either pettiness and favoritism, or ranking workplace harmony above productivity (the latter of which is admittedly a good thing if not taken to excess.)
3:34 Finally hits the point he's attempting to make with the example he probably should have opened with.
So it's IQ vs personality
If you're a likable person then you're more important than someone with intelligence that figure out problems in an efficient way.
Not in my business👎
The title is funny enough, ironically!
Why on earth, would IQ be 'everything'?!? Someone must be totally blind-minded to think that way. lol
it looks like systematic unfairness more than anything else
Would highly emotional reactions such as being 'triggered' be considered an example of low or high emotional intelligence?
Low, I believe. However being "triggered" actually can happen to anyone and I believe it happens to most (if not all) people, but I guess you mean it as in 'lashing out' in which case I think it is related to a lower EQ if it happens constantly, but again that can happen to anyone if they are upset enough to do it.
Not necessarily an indicator, as everyone has their own mental triggers.
I discovered my EQ is a 135 after doing an extensive 1 hour test. Im blown away. And my IQ is 130 plus. I am blown away. Do you have any tests?
By the way I am 56 and a half, so I contribute the number from my street smarts and experience. Plus, I am an Empath, so my social and self awarness and management is near perfect. I am glad that I did these tests during covid. I even outscored Dr, Phil once, 160 EQ. Sorry for bragging, I'm just very much still in a state of aawsomeness. Lol.
Same. My IQ is 130+. Welcome to The Gifted
I don’t think you should consider emotional understanding as an intelligence since it is often a taught/learnt skill. Some people may have it easier when it comes to understanding ones and others emotions but generally it is a result of teachings from your family and friends. It is of course very beneficial to have great emotional understanding but i don’t think it can be compared to intelligence or IQ. Emotional understanding is a skill. IQ or intelligence is something you are born with (though it does rise and fall with age especially during your educational years). This is just my opinion though and I am willing to listen to criticism from people who might have a better understanding on the subject than myself.
I beg to differ. EQ is a gift and part of your personality and character. It should be taught but I believe some have above average EQ just like IQ.
General intelligence (IQ) is testable, and correlates highly with success - this is well documented. What you're describing are the Big 5 Personality Traits. There is no "emotional intelligence", just personality traits. You can't take someone who is an extrovert, conscientious, open, and agreeable and put them in a job that requires a high IQ and expect success. IQ is the most important factor, and the Big 5 Personality Traits only describe the personality of the individual, not whether or not they can do the job. Tell me; would you rather see a stupid doctor who you would call "emotionally intelligent", or an introverted and closed but brilliant doctor?
Actually an important part of being a doctor is having a high EQ because it demonstrates willingness to listen to and understand the patient's situation without insisting on your own personal biases in what typically works. It's also good for providing a comfortable environment where a patient is willing to disclose information.
@@Twistedsackboy I'm glad a non doctor knows how to be better than a real doctor (op)
He said that IQ isn't unimportant but that most people becoming engineers och doctors will be above 115 IQ anyways, where EQ on the other hand varies greatly.
There is no "emotional intelligence" there's only IQ and the Big 5 Personality Traits. Personality traits are not correlated with intelligence. Let's stop confusing people by employing the term "intelligence" where it doesn't fit. Being a person who gets along well with others still won't help them become an engineer (and most good schools require an IQ above 120 - because you won't pass the courses otherwise - regardless of your personality).
You are obviously very wrong if you think that getting along with people won't help them become good engineers.
Human worked with IQ, supposed to be everything and see what happened with high IQ people, neglected EQ surveivality and preservation
Me: *reads title*
Also me: Sir, my EQ is one of 145 but my EI is one of 40, aka I don't understand people nor myself, I am not able of making an objective analysis on my mental health because I have little to no notions regarding what is normal and what is not so I've probably been avoiding some rather obvious red flags for years now because of this plus my life is just a shithole I "unconsciously" digged by myself which I don't seem to be able to get out of.
_It clearly isn't, and anyone who diferes is plain ignorant and should look at the truth._
Go for some counseling and read. Possibly you will get some insight. Group therapy is a bonus too.
*THIS Is How You Balance Your Emotions*
We can balance our emotions with the help of the environment.
What I mean by “environment” is our society and its influences, that we can surround ourselves with such influences that will guide us on how to direct the emotions that awaken in us.
For instance, we know the example of peer pressure, when our friends tell us to do or not to do something, and their influence makes us follow their recommendations. Using this force of our surrounding environment, we can choose our environment-the kinds of people, media and values we surround ourselves with-and accordingly change our attitude toward certain emotions.
We can then build our intellect with our social influences. Our desires constantly grow, and we correspondingly need to build a greater and greater intellect with which we can deal with our growing desires.
Adjusting our environmental influences in order to build the intellect so that we can best deal with our growing desires is the essence of education. It is what we need to teach the younger generation, that we can balance our emotions with our intellects, and by doing so, come to see our perfect state in life.
We should thus try to find an environment that would be able to supplement our constantly-surfacing emotions in a certain direction. Our environment should act as a damper, helping us mediate our inner excitements and eruptions, bringing them to a state where we would be able to realize them-but to realize them in ways that benefit both ourselves and others.
In other words, we need to examine ourselves in relation to our environment, whether the environment accepts what we want to do. If we find that our desires match those of the environment, then we can continue realizing our desires. We can then determine that we can carry out what we want to do, that it will benefit both us and those around us, and that everything will turn out just fine if we go ahead and realize our desires.
This is how we can balance our emotions-by learning how to balance between our intellect and our emotions via our surrounding environment.
Team player ☝️👍
Emotional Quotients while useful, still need more testing before more skeptical people will accept their validity. Meanwhile, us pragmatists are going to take this knowledge and run.
The issue is that because it's so open, people take the concept of EQ and skew it to fit a narrative, which muddies all discussion of EQ.
Elon has both
I see lots of people keep on talking about Rotogenflux Methods. But I'm uncertain if it's good. Have you ever try this iq course?
I disagree. While what he says is true for MOST professions that require social interactions, there are nonetheless certain fields, such as core research and academia for example, where the ability to shut off all distractions and focus intensely on cracking a very difficult scientific problem that requires a very high IQ is in fact the best personality type to have. Another field is literature/arts where the person wants to isolate and let their creativity manifest.
Emotional EQ is important but it is not as black and white as this fellow wants us to believe.
Huh they say its emotional intelligence ? Pretty sure with good intelligence anyone can infer the general hints, information from anything as a information of emotion with sheer weight of information and experience should be able to handle the emotional side of daily life
Well Isaac Newton wasn't "emotionally intelligent".
JP already debunked this
I see many people keep on speaking about Rotogenflux Methods. But I'm uncertain if it's good. Have you ever try this iq course?
let's promote people we like the most yay! 😒
Who says IQ is "everything" ?
You literally cannot claim IQ is everything when soft skills are so important for the workplace. Anyone who has ever worked in software dev knows this. I can’t speak for other fields but I suspect it is similar.
What exactly is Rotogenflux Methods? How does this thing really work? I see a lot of people keep on talking about this iq course.
Great now every indian street will have a EQ private tuition
I have high Emotional Intelligence. And I have a high IQ.
Somehow I don't get hired..
Most jobs are governed by instructions. Peoples creativity arnt needed, you just have to be able to follow instructions. Through Schooling your iq plays a role, but how often do you start a job and your told to forget everything you learned or think your know? Repetition and following instructions will lead to success in almost any job.
What a waste of time
Who says IQ is everything?
Isaac Newton had an emotional intelligence of zero. Yet, he still made some big contributions.
How is "emotional intelligence" different from social skills?
rip me.. IQ of 160+/- a bit but stuck in autistic apathy...
Sure.
Fiction.
"There is no relationship between career success and an IQ above 120." *CITATION NEEDED*
The literature I've seen indicates the opposite.
I have to agree he is being biases towards his work when saying that it has been reasonably proven that an iq of about 125 is a threshold of sucess by the termites experiment which had an average iq of 151 with about 2000 participants although one person who didnt have an iq to become a termite won a noble prize no termites won a prize although they were for the most part successful.
Next talk about spiritual intelligence (SQ)
i don't like that it's called emotional "intelligence." it's more like social skills.
"Emotional intelligence" might have the word intelligence in it but it's anything but..........
Hence, why intelligent people don't require an additional qualifier.
200IQ :p
IQ IS everything it's just measured for wrong. The ability to count cards or do complex maths in your head doesn't make you smart it makes you a calculator. Congratulations, you were given the most powerful computing mechanism to ever exist and you got stuck on the calculator app. I believe that the ability to invent a gadget or create a work of art are much better indicators of intelligence.
inclusive person you are
Lol iq doesn't measures calculation it measures how good you are at making sense from given data if you do it good your chances of doing it in the real world increase
IQ measures your ability to solve problems with new information. It shouldn't be a surprise that creativity has a positive correlation with intelligence.
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand emotional intelligence.
This username with the comment is just a chef's kiss
This should be the MGTOW link of the day.
But isn't it the MGTOW that say EQ is horseshit?
I didn't think they "say" that....but it's clearly what they lack. Even from before being MGTOW when they chose to let harmful people into their life (EQ blindness) or their parents had low EQ so they don't know there is more they don't know about people and how to interact with them (and how to interact with themselves).
WhosAgreekGod Your link is about manipulation which is not part of emotional intelligence. I don't know why he put it in the title.
