I really don't agree. it's being charming and able to assess a person and see how to best act with that person. It's not just going along with the crowd, it's reading everything in a person or a social situation right away.
Conformists are stupid and they just mimic everyone else.
psychopaths are good at being social chameleons with superficial charm, they must have a high EQ.
That's very true. When they tested Manson's IQ he wasn't especially smart but he would have had a high EQ if they had the means to test it.
Also high in EQ are CEOs, entertainers and actors. I would say politicians but the current crop has been really lacking in it.
That's why the number of women in cults and pyramid schemes far outnumber the few men.
Manson's cult was mostly women. Your point makes sense.
