Emotional Intelligence
An excerpt from the white paper Emotional Intelligence and Performance:
“In his best-selling 1995 book, Emotional Intelligence, Daniel Goleman reported that research shows that conventional measures of intelligence - IQ - only account for 20% of a person’s success in life. For example, research on IQ and education shows that high IQ predicts 10 to 25% of grades in college. The percentage will vary depending on how we define success. Nonetheless, Goleman’s assertion begs the question: What accounts for the other 80%? Goleman and others have asserted that at least some of the missing ingredient lies in emotional intelligence - the capacity to acquire and apply emotional information.”
EQ is discussed extensively in Chaper 6 of Trend Following.
