    Does the scenario you provided even measure emotional intelligence? I feel like it measires confidence and willingness to confront someone, neither of which feel particularly related to emotional intelligence.

    Also, to be frank, I don’t think many people consider the ability to revognize the emotions of others and to empathize as “intelligent”. A blind person isn’t unintelligent because they cannot see, so why would you use the term emotionally unintelligent for a person that is blind with regards to recognizing emotions?

      I wasn’t suggesting that particular example was for emotional intelligence; it was just an example of a kind of problem solving that isn’t covered under IQ. It was a segue into the adjacent topic of emotional intelligence.
