IQ tests do not predict success.

EQ tests are a much better predictor of having a meaningful life that enriches others and in identifying the leading trait that produces all-around decent people...that being 'empathy.'


Intelligence Quotient versus Emotional Quotient

Quote:
According to Harvard Business Review, emotional intelligence (EQ) is “the key attribute that distinguishes outstanding performers,” and is the leading differentiator between employees whose IQ and technical skills are approximately the same.

In fact, in a 2015 study, TalentSmart found that EQ is the strongest predictor of work performance, accounting for 58% of success in all fields.
