11.The subtitle of my 1995 book Emotional Intelligence(EI) reads,"Why It Can Matter More Than IQ."That subtitle,unfortunately,has led to misunderstandings of what I actually say.Some people even make the absurd claim that"EI accounts for 80 percent of success."I was reminded this again when looking through comments on an Australian study that fails to find much of a connection between teenagers'level of emotional intelligence and their academic achievements.For me,there's no surprise here.But for those misguided people who think I claim EI matters more than IQ for academic achievement,it would be a"Gotcha!"moment.
My argument is actually that emotional and social skills give people advantages in areas where such abilities make the most difference,like love and leadership.EI does better than IQ in"soft"areas,where intelligence matters relatively little for success.That said,another such area where EI matters more than IQ is in performance at work,when comparing people with roughly the same educational backgrounds like MBAs or accountants.
IQ is a much stronger predictor than EI of which jobs or professions people can enter.However,having enough intelligence to hold a given job does not by itself predict whether one will be a star performer or rise to management or leadership positions in one's field.In part this is because everyone at the top level of a given profession has already been examined for intelligence.At those top levels a high IQ becomes a basic ability,one needed just to get into and stay in the game.
The one place I expect we will be seeing more data showing a relationship between skills in the emotional and social area and school performance will be in studies of children who have gone through social/emotional learning (SEL) programs.These courses give students the self-management skills they need to learn better.And so to the degree that advantage promotes learning,they should do better on academic achievement scores.A study from the University of Illinois finds around a 10 percent increase in achievement test scores among these students.Probably,the SEL programs would also have meant higher scores on the particular assessment of EI used in the Australian study,and so if they had tested such children,there may well have been a positive connection.
So learning seems to be another area where EI may matter-whether more than IQ is a question based on experience.
