Is EQ More Important Than IQ? with Michael Seaver
Sean: Now, I'm wondering, Michael, with, um, let's, let's shift a little bit too business and hiring. So everyone says that EQ is so important, it's more important than IQ. There are a lot of articles that write about that, right? When you hire someone you want to hire for a higher EQ than a high IQ. Why is it more important than IQ?
Sean: Why do you think that they say that? And should we if they score lower in the EQ tests that are available out there, should we just throw in the towel and say, oh, it's a low EQ kind of person, we should not hire this person?
Michael: Yeah, it's possible. So you're right. So Daniel Goldman, back in the late 1980s, and early 1990s, did a bunch of research, and published kind of the first work about emotional intelligence globally. And in his research, it was that 20% of performance or success comes from IQ, and 80% comes from EQ. And so his book was really, really good to kind of dive into those things.
Michael: And then there was a great book called Emotional Intelligence 2.0 by Bradbury and Greaves that gave a little bit more specificity to this. So I think that when we're going through the hiring process, yes, we want to be mindful of someone's DISC profile or the things that motivate them, maybe their core values, definitely levels of emotional intelligence.
Michael: So when I'm thinking about it, there are certain things that can be taught, there are certain things that are innate, like a DISC profile or motivations are pretty much the way that we're born. We're kind of born with them. We navigate them throughout life, but our core values are that our level of emotional intelligence can be taught to us. It's learned.
