A #Thread on people high in IQ Vs people high in Emotional Intelligence (E.I) from the book "Emotional Intelligence" by Daniel Goleman.
I& #39;ll start with the male and proceed to the female, because the profiles slightly differ with sexes.
Retweets highly appreciated.

First of all, people with pure high-IQ (setting side E.I) are almost a carricature of the intellectual, adept in the realm of mind but inept in the personal world
1.a.) The high-IQ male is typified by a wide range of intellectual interests and abilities. 1/11

He is ambitious and productive, predictable and dogged (stubbornly unyielding) and untroubled by concerns about himself. He also tends to critical and condescending, fastidious and inhibited, uneasy with sexuality and sensual experience, unexpressive and detached... 2/11
and emotionally bland and cold.
1.b.) By contrast the high-E.I male is socially poised, outgoing and cheerful, not prone to fearfulness or worried rumination. They have notable capacity for commitment to people or causes, for taking responsibility... 3/11

and for having an ethical outlook; they are sympathetic and caring in their relationships. Their emotional life is rich, but appropriate; they are comfortable with themselves, others and the social universe they live in. 4/11
2.a.) Purely high-I.Q women have the expected intellectual confidence, are fluent in expressing their thoughts, value intellectual matters and have a wide range of intellectual and aesthetic interest. 5/11
They also tend to be introspective, prone to anxiety, rumination and guilt, and hesitate to express their anger openly (though they do so indirectly). 6/11
2.b.) Emotionally intelligent women, by contrast, tend to be assertive and express their feelings directly, and to feel positive about themselves; life holds meaning for them. 7/11
Like men, they are outgoing and gregarious, and express their feelings appropriately (rather than, say, in outbursts they later regret); they adapt well to stress. Their social poise lets them easily reach out to new people; they are comfortable enough with themselves … 8/11
to be playful, spontaneous, and open to sensual experience. Unlike the women purely high in IQ , they rarely feel anxious or guilty, or sink into rumination. 9/11
These portraits, of course, are extremes - all of us mix IQ and E.I in varying degrees. But they offer an instructive look at what each of these dimensions adds separately to a person& #39;s qualities to the degree a person has both cognitive and E.I, these pictures merge. 10/11
Still, of the two, E.I adds far more of the qualities that make us fully human.
