(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So which do you regard as more important, EQ or IQ?

EQ refers to emotional intelligence
IQ refers to relative intelligence compared to other people

Personally, I believe that EQ is more important as it allows for better human interaction and understanding
Although I regard cognitive ability as important, I still feel that being able to relate to people on an emotional level is a greater measure of overall intelligence and I also feel that IQ is not an accurate measure of intelligence

EDIT: I'll further define what EQ measures - self-awareness, self-control, social awareness and relationship management

P.S Sorry about the typo in the poll title

IQ, because you don't go far in lyour job with out it.

You need a balance of both really.

IQ by far, without it we would still be living in the bronze ages.

Both have there uses, but IQ has been used more for gauging a personal on growth potential academically speaking.

Without EQ there would be more war, disputes and overall misunderstanding between people though and we'd probably all be dead

Without EQ there would be more war from those who don't have the emotional capacity to feel for fellow human beings. Without IQ there would be more war because those in charge would be idiots who don't know what's good for them.

IMO IQ is a tad more important, although both are important to an extent.

I'm starting to wonder if EQ can also be derived from IQ because it seems that some people with, let's say, "lower" intelligence levels seem to lack emotional capabilities also

Without IQ you wouldn't even know how to speak English so therefor you would have no EQ.

EQ entirely
