My income trippled once I understood this and actively pursued improving my emotional intelligence.
> As Goleman explained in his interview, for any given role, there will be an IQ floor. If you become a professional software engineer, you will likely have an above average IQ. Otherwise, you won’t have developed the skills and expertise necessary to get the job in the first place.
> However, the same can be said of all the other engineers you work with. Intelligence will no longer be the factor that sets you apart.
- ianai 4y agoHaving that IQ requirement allows a person to hold those careers. To people outside those careers success is defined as holding that position for a period of time. Kind of like a musician playing a song or chef cooking some food. The performer(s) will have a much stronger (and likely harsher) opinion of their performance than their audience. So in a sense merely having that IQ, to an outside observer, is a determiner of success.
