Reading "However, in jobs that involved fewer emotional demands, the results reversed. The more emotionally intelligent employees were, the lower their job performance." - I think that's a good example for seeing that not everything in should be about work :) My sense is that folks with higher EQ in those kinds of jobs, even if they don't perform as well as others, still enjoy and live life to a greater extent. Sadly, my EQ is pretty average, so this is really my way of saying that from my experience people with higher EQ we're more successful (or least happier) because of their ability to relate to others, and gain if not additional money or financial success, at least friendship and better relationships. Just my two cents.
