The Tragedy Of Man said:What exactly is an "emotional IQ", just out of interest? Not necessarily implying it doesn't exist; just genuinely curious. I must say, virtually every woman I know has a soap-operaesque emotional volatility to the point where it severely hinders just about every aspect of their own lives and often the lives of those around them.
There are different kinds of intelligence, old look at human intelligence based on IQ tests has been drastically changed in last decade.The Tragedy Of Man said:What exactly is an "emotional IQ", just out of interest?

There was a psychological research; a group of 4-5 years old kids was tested. It happened that there were some kids with very high IQ, but leader between kids was a girl that was not strongest, and not smartest, quite opposite. But when talking with psychologists it was clear that she was easily able to understand relationships and characters of other kids, and to use that for her own advantage. He could explain in his words precisely character of every single kid, and relationship of that kid with others and use that to get herself in position of a leader.
25 Years later, test subjects have shown their results in life. Most of the kids with higher IQ were highly educated, or have become experts, very competent and capable people in job they are doing. But they had problems in their private lives, they were not really happy with their lives in most of the cases, and they were not in high positions in hierarchy of companies they are working, or were self-employed. Most successful and happiest person was girl with quite average IQ but with high emotional intelligence. She was happy married, successful business woman, connected with lot of people with friendship and business connections.
Also it is well known fact that people that are very successful most of the times do not have high IQ but very high emotional intelligence. Their employees have high IQ, so they can work for them and make them successful
There are also other kinds of intelligence, for instance some person can be extremely talented for music or mathematics and be complete idiot for everything else.
Women generally have higher emotional intelligence, they have better social abilities, and they are often using them for their own advantage. If the society wasn't that much patriarchal, and we all could have same chances, women would be the ruling class, and I am not kidding about this.
And this one solves the puzzle of "illogical" behavior of woman. They are not logical, they are practical, they are always doing things that are to their advantage if they can and know how. Man want to be moral or logical when arguing, he wants to win based on facts and logic, woman wants to win and control, and she does not give a damn about logic, all she care is results.
Thanks man. Well, I think that post about A. Fomenko is still there in another thread?Thats a impressive post. Who was that russian historian or mathmatician you were discussing before?
Well I don't think that chairman of a corporation will test himself and then admit he has average IQ But I guess you are right in a sense that few most successful people have both high IQ and emotional intelligence.From what I've read, people high in business hierarchies have high IQs.
that was good for a laugh. too bad it isn't legitimate.10293847 said:
I have that file with short work on English History, and as far as I remeber it is not personally his work, but of people connected to him. I do think that this alternative ideas about English History go to far without having solid ground sometimes, on the other hand it is not so "out there" if you do know basics from book.speed said:This is entirely off topic, so all but Dushan, please do not bother.
Dushan, I did some reading on this Anatoly Fomenko and discovered his ideas are incredibly interesting, but also Russo-centric and incredibly flawed like almost all statistical research. I am surprised he puts so much stock in Astronomical readings and reigns of kings. It all seems highly speculative, and the results can be nothing more than spurious at best. Still, it is all quite interesting. i should really order the book, but I dont know if I should bother because I was laughing at this article about English history he wrote that is on the web. Also, why in the world does he reject all scientific means of historical analysis such as carbon dating and the like?
