The classical IQ test measures only visual-spatial, verbal-linguistic, logical-mathematical. These are all financial hunting skills: the rich have evolved to value and possess these skills in many European nations, including France, which gave us the standard test as a way of screening people with learning difficulties (often, the poor) from public schools.
Gardnerlater added five more criteria (musical-rhythmic, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic) which, though also limited, at least recognized the fact that different cultures experience and use intelligence differently than banksters and war profiteers.
Emotional intelligence reduces "smartness" down to "the ability to manipulate other people" which is even more reductionist than the standard IQ test, when what we really need to understand is that intelligence is the most difficult thing for dumb people like us to measure.

After I mentioned that I doubt the accuracy of IQ tests as a real measure of intelligence, Drlee wrote:I don't. The concept of IQ is old and tried. The data is compelling. No conspiracy here.
