It is true that IQ by itself is useless unless a person has an equal EQ.  The idea of how well a person can perceive, use, understand and manage emotions in self and others is an EQ  while IQ is the central controller.

Our emotions are our life’s power and vitality, the “carrier wave” upon which our projected thoughts are sent to create or modify our reality. The more potent our “carrier wave” is, the more quickly and effectively it will affect and transform our reality. – The happier we are the more “attractive” power we have.

The logical mind brings only half of the picture, so you will never understand the true nature of yourselves or your world if you do not put that partial picture together with the other pieces that exist within your emotional content. It is important to recognize that the logic of the mind will bring you conclusions, whereas the logic of the emotions will bring you Cognition. People with high competencies tend to be more successful professionally and more able to make positive changes at work as they have the ability to process emotional information creatively, particularly as it involves the perception, assimilation, understanding, and management of emotion. They know that the gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials. Skillful pilots gain their reputation from storms and tempests.

In treating students with difficulties teachers should discover and know the background of the students that trigger and equaled the EQ and IQ for better dealing with the abilities and for better success.
