What are your thoughts on emotional intelligence then?
The distinction between intelligence and competence in the area of scognition(IQ) is very clear, where generally, psychological research demonstrates that IQ is a reliable measure of cognitive capacity, and is stable over time. In the area of emotion, the distinction between intelligence (EQ) and competence is murky. Current definitions of EQ are inconsistent about what it measures: some say that EQ is dynamic, and can be learned or increased; whereas others say that EQ is stable, and cannot be increased. Therefore there is a relation to some degree between intelligence and emotional competence.
