Approximately 85% of financial success can be attributed to emotional intelligence (EQ) as opposed to intelligence quotient (IQ)? Based on a study conducted by the Carnegie Institute of Technology, 85% of your financial success can be attributed to your ability to communicate, negotiate, and lead, as well as your human engineering skills. According to Forbes, "Intelligence is overrated," only 15% of success comes from technical expertise (IQ).
The EQ of an individual determines their effectiveness and, therefore, their success (i.e., manager, customer-facing role, etc.). Even highly technical jobs depend on it. Communicating effectively with teammates, managers, customers, and other stakeholders is essential.
Success depends on EQ. Technical skills and IQ are important, but they only get you in. Your "distinguishing abilities" set you apart. Right now, consider yourself. Your high IQ got you your current job. You are one of many smart people. Can you become a star by becoming smarter? It's unlikely. Cognitive control, grit, empathy, and influence distinguish you. Your success depends on healthy and productive relationships. As you take on more responsibility, this becomes more evident.
