Is Intelligence More Important Than Emotional Strength?

[Urvashi]

IQ is often valued, but many argue that emotional intelligence (EQ) is just as crucial for success. Should society prioritize intellectual achievement or emotional resilience? Which has had a bigger impact on your own life—IQ or EQ?

 

[Niyi Briggs]

I believe that emotional resilience and balance at a high level with average intelligence would achieve a higher success than someone with high intelligence and average emotional resilience. It is emotional resilience that would help you to manage people and situations to get a proper balance.

I think both have equal place. You need emotional strength, without being emotionally strong how would you maintain your personal and professional life. Likewise, without being intelligent how will you earn a living.
