I think you could’ve made this without the low EQ comment and it would’ve been upvoted.

But adding the low EQ comment took this from an interesting discussion on semantics to /r/iamverysmart territory.

Emotional Intelligence has nothing to do with actual intelligence and I feel like the moment people see the word "intelligence" they just get triggered into thinking someone's calling them stupid. Coincidentally this makes the reaction to even mentioning Emotional Intelligence a litmus test for whether or not a person has a high degree of emotional intelligence.

It's not /r/iamverysmart territory because intelligence has nothing to do with emotional intelligence, it's two separate things with separate definitions.
