How come EQ is treated as a more viable quotient than IQ here? IQ measures how well you can take IQ tests, so naturally EQ would measure how well you can take EQ tests. The assumption would be that there's a definite cultural/wealth bias in EQ testing as much as IQ testing, because such biases are nearly impossible to get rid of.
If we're just taking about straight emotional intelligence, then fine. I have a feeling I won't do well because I'm not so good at selling myself -- my normal mode is irritable, aloof, and highly concentrated. I've found that the vast majority of people find it intolerable.
