A note on Emotional Intelligence: It has to do with making intelligent decisions based on emotions, or a higher moral factor. Emotional Intelligence is measurable just like an IQ test. In some professions it's valued more than IQ. It's taught through compassion and empathy and should start at a young age. Teachers and parents can do that. I have an IQ of 142 and an EQ of 160. I think it correlates to personality type. We have a predominance of a couple personality types that might not be EQ adept. I don't think it has anything to do with emotional "bombardment," it's a skill at managing emotions intelligently. Cognition and consciousness are also components.
You'd have to know personality type theory (I'm trained in that), then do EQs according to type and look for consistencies. It may have already been done. I haven't done this in a long time. I'm kind of focussing on books but I think I would like to research that. Personality type is not a flaw. I could see some types more drawn to EQ decision making is what I meant. As a quick example, people who prefer quick decisions, closure, thinkers who prefer logic, structure, black and white about things, that's an excellent way to be for some occupations but higher reasoning as a moral compass might not be there. Eg: a person laying on the road reaching for help. Do you stop and help or walk by? Many people, maybe even most people now adays would walk by. Maybe some would call for help as they did. While others would stop what they're doing and help. Maybe 40 years ago there would be more people of the 2nd group that would help. The first decision makers are not necessarily "wrong," for whatever reason they have, but you can see the difference in Type and EQ.
