As much as I don't give credence to the disproved & discredited right IQ = dumb ideology it says something for all the lefties who posted on here sagely agreeing with this discreditid rubbish.
It's like the old study done about all Liberals are racist.

I'm still unsure whether it's a joke or there are people who really believe this rubbish.

i don't know if the study is entirely correct, but its a pretty safe call to say racists are dumb.

Emotional Intelligence may be relevant ?
When we speak of a personโs intelligence, we usually think of his or her knowledge or capacity to acquire knowledge. However, there are many different facets of intelligence, including problem solving, artistic intelligence, reasoning ability and creative intelligence. Emotional intel...
One of the leading researchers in emotional intelligence theory, Daniel Goleman, cited an excerpt from Aristotleโs Nicomachean Ethics as an example of the implications of emotional intelligence in his popular 1995 book Emotional Intelligence. Aristotle said: โAnyone can become angry - that is easy. But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way - this is not easy.โ
A person with low emotional intelligence will likely misinterpret, deny or disregard the impact of human emotion that is present in virtually every social situation. A person with alexithymia, a severe state of low emotional intelligence, lacks the verbal ability to express emotion or to describe emotions in others. Those who struggle with alexithymia report to psychologists feeling no emotion at all, as well as a lack of dreaming, fantasizing and creative imagining.
Emotional intelligence, like other aspects of intelligence, lies on a broad spectrum, with a large margin for normal levels of emotional intelligence. Similar to a test for a personโsintelligence quotient (IQ), the level or score of emotional intelligence can be determined and analyzed for individual people. These tests aim to show how a person responds to the feelings of others, as well as how he understands his own, how he deals with social situations and the appropriateness of his response through a series of questions that mimic real life circumstances.
Interestingly, unlike other forms of intelligence, some researchers believe that emotional intelligence can be taught or trained. They believe that with practice, a person can replace former low intelligent behaviors with more appropriate ones and thus improve her interactions with others as well as her own quality of life.
