People write to ask me if there's correlation between academic intelligence and emotional intelligence. My answer is no. You can have a high IQ and high EQ, which, of course is a winning combination, or be high in one and low in the other. The best study was done it by Bell Labs in New Jersey. A very high IQ place. They do research development for the communications industry. In the division of electronic engineers, who were designing equipments so advanced that they work in teams of up to 150, co-workers and managers were asked to nominate the standouts. The stars in productivity and effectiveness. They came up with ten or 15 names, and that group of stars was compared with anyone else. It turned out there was no difference in IQ, no difference in academic qualifications, no difference in the years of job. The only difference was emotional intelligence. The stars were people who knew how to get along, he knew how to motivate themselves, usually the kind of people you like to hang out with. When these people run up against to technical problem, to which they have to turn someone else for answer, they email and get the answer right away. Because they built up the network of people before they needed them. The other people would email and waited up to two weeks for an answer. See, you can see how being good in the inter-personal realm actually was a direct benefit, even for effectively pursuing a technical task.
