It seems to me that a lot of what is being assessed as ‘EQ’ is really a question of ‘political IQ’ (i.e. how well can you fit in and say and do the ‘appropriate’ things in a work or social environment). Some of that is related to EQ, but they are most definitely different. Some very manipulative sociopathic and narcissistic people are extremely good at being political and manipulative. That does NOT mean they are well-balanced people with good emotional maturity.

Nailed it. I’m old enough not to care what people think.
