People write to ask me if there's correlation between academic intelligence and emotional intelligence. My answer is no. You can have a high IQ and a high EQ, which, of course, is a winning combination, or be high in one and low in the other.
人們經常寫信問我，學術智力與情緒智力之間有沒有關聯。我的回答是沒有。有人也許智商高，情商也高，當然這是最佳組合，也有人高智商低情商或低智商高情商。
The best study was done at Bell Labs in New Jersey, a very high IQ place. They do research into development for the communications industry. In a division of electronic engineers, who were designing equipments so advanced that they work in teams of up to 150, co-workers and managers were asked to nominate the standouts — the stars in productivity and effectiveness. They came up with 10 or 15 names, and that group of stars was compared with everyone else. It turned out there was no difference in IQ, no difference in academic qualifications, no difference in years on the job.
新澤西州的貝爾試驗室是高智商聚集地，他們進行了一項最佳實驗。他們研究了通信行業的發展。試驗室有一個擁有150名設計先進設備的電子工程師團隊，試驗室讓他們的同事和經理選出這個團隊在生產力和工作效率方面的杰出人物，也就是最優秀者。他們選出了10到15個人，然后試驗室將這幾名最優秀者和其他人進行比較。結果發現，他們的智商沒有差別，他們的學術智力沒有差別，工作時間沒有差別。
The only difference was emotional intelligence. The stars were people who knew how to get along, who knew how to motivate themselves, usually the kind of people you like to hang out with. When these people ran up against a technical problem, to which they'd have to turn to someone else for an answer, they'd e-mail and get an answer right away, because they built up a network of people before they needed them. The other people would e-mail and wait up to two weeks for an answer. So you can see how being good in the interpersonal realm actually was a direct benefit, even for effectively pursuing a technical task.
唯一的差別在于情緒智力。最優秀者知道如何和他人相處，知道如何激勵自己，他們是你想一起玩的那種人。這些人在遇到學術問題，要向他人尋求答案時，他們會立刻發郵件求得答案，因為他們在之前已經建立了關系網，以備不時之需。其他人則會發郵件，然后可能要等兩個星期才會得到答案。大家可以看到，處理好人際關系所帶來的直接利益，包括解決學術任務的效率。
