Important for what though? Life success? If so there's probably some truth to this, that someone with high social intelligence but low analytical intelligence has a good chance at a successful career, whereas the reverse can be a rocky road.
However, in order to make good decisions and complete good work at an individual level, analytical intelligence is extremely important. Without analytically intelligent people, modern technological society would be impossible.
Of course when someone combines high social and analytical intelligence, their success can be magnified, and they are positioned to lead complex organizations.
- Apocryphon 5y agoIt would appear that many of the current societal problems aren't simply technical issues that can be solved by analytical intelligence, but rather social ones that appeal to the emotions- Keynes' animal spirits, perhaps- of the masses. It's rather shortsighted to downplay either component at any level.
