I'd never heard the term emotional intelligence before, but it make sense.

This study was conducted in Scotland which is probably the most leftist nation in the UK along with Britain. It's the Portland of Europe, zero actual diversity(96% white) yet said whites are extremely progressive and welcome all manner of degeneracy and multiculturalism.

This study is worthless unless I can see what news articles specifically were used as "fake news" and what their criteria for sorting real news and fake news was.

Well said. Emotional intelligence seems to have been invented as a way to lower the value and relevence of IQ from what i can tell. Its most likely a nonsense measure that literally measures your brainwashability as a good thing.

I hear these kinds of claims regularly, and as someone with a pretty good IQ (it's not immense, this isn't flexing), I think the idea that there is zero value to the concept of emotional intelligence is absurd. It seems that the term 'emotional' is the loaded one here that causes a lot of people to experience click-whirr reactions to hearing the phrase. First of all, I think it is wrong to position it intellectually as existing in competition with IQ, as though we're having a debate about whether someone's height or cock size is more important for being attractive. It's nonsense.

The data on distributions of IQ in the upper echelons of society bears out the fact that there is some set of factors that are intervening on success, over and above IQ. I want to say that it was beyond a mean of 127 that IQ starts to become proportionately less represented in corporate leadership. Now, why would that be the case? Common sense tells us that it's because past a certain level of intelligence, people's social competency tends to be negatively impacted. Not only do people with high IQs usually exhibit greater neuroticism, they also have higher rates of depression, personality disorders, and the size of a person's social circle also declines with increasing IQ.

I want to be careful to specify that this isn't indicative (always, anyway) of social ignorance or complete lack of ability. Rather, it reflects that people with very high IQs just tend to prefer greater isolation. The things they care to focus on, and the level of abstraction at which they prefer to think, makes regular social interaction difficult, or less stimulating, or both.

And of course, the relationships aren't inverse. It's not as though 'emotional intelligence' increases as IQ decreases for the entire range of human intelligence. But I think we'd be remiss not to acknowledge that there is some set of factors (which probably includes raw intelligence itself) that describes how a person is able to interact with others effectively, to empathize, to influence, etc. In my own personal experience, the people I've known with the absolute strongest charisma and the best ability to influence others were not very high IQ people, but neither were they low IQ. There is some kind of sweet spot that occurs at above population mean, but below superior, where people just seem to be the most effective in people-oriented environments.

I don't know what that set of factors includes. I don't know specifically how it interacts with IQ. I don't care whether a person calls it emotional intelligence (if you'd rather call it social effectiveness, or something, that's fine) - I just think it is obvious that it is something that exists, and it isn't synonymous with IQ.

Pretty much except Great Britain = England, Wales, & Scotland. The United Kingdom is Great Britain & Northern Ireland.

Emotional intelligence is fake news.

Yeah right

EQ is one of the biggest BS scams to come out in the last 30 years.

It's part of replacing IQ with migrants and idiots and degenerates.

I didn't see it being presented here as a replacement for IQ, but as a different idea altogether.

It's a total scam to justify liberal bullshit. If you fall for "think of the children" you're not retarded, you're "emotionally intelligent."

[–] 1 pt

Then it means the opposite than what I thought. Because you are emotionally retarded if you let the BS sway you.

They were pushing EQ in social engineering and ogranizational behaviour courses in the mid-late 2000s. It's garbage based on nothing. It's part of tolerance and having no standards and not basing things on merit but on emotionally driven propaganda.

Ah okay.

Reading this, I took it as people being able to remove their emotionality on the subject and think only rationally about it. Seemed like a good thing to me.

This sounds like an article where the mainstream fakes news supporters are saying the non-mainstream fake news is fake, but they're legitimate.

Honestly, I'm high in regular intelligence and not so much emotional intelligence. I don't know how sappy people will feel when I'm a robot that doesn't have feelings cause feelings are gay.

Ya I'm going to need to see what they considered fake news before I let this article suck my dick

People with autism (and the associated rigid thinking) have low emotional intelligence, and I think this leads to them being more inclined to believe in conspiracy theories like Flat Earth, 5G-covid and moon landings

They are unusually capable at pattern matching, so that makes them good at connecting the dots in an idea, but not so good at the critical thinking aspect, so they keep making obviously false conclusions but don't understand why everyone else keeps telling them they are wrong

This is a serious issue for the Right because 90% of the batshit tinfoil is coming from our people, and their self absorption is wasting a lot of energy and time. This is making the rest of us look like morons, which fucks up our message to normies

This is the sort of propaganda headlines you see from r/science.

The study is using a politically biased notion of fake news and making a politically biased claim, the idea is to get lefties to believe their enemies are heartless meanies who want to believe lies so they can justify their actions.

Yeah, for those of us lacking in regular intelligence, what's emotional intelligence supposed to mean?

[–] 0 pt

autistic incels, that is what zero emotional intelligence looks like

Just as regular intelligence is the ability to model the world and act as possible to change it to a desired future, emotional intelligence is the same thing but with people. It means being able to parse social situations and human emotions, build an accurate worldview to the extent that deals with those situations, and rapidly and appropriately respond.
