To think emotional maturity is rarer than intelligence?

[EQIsTheRealTest]

Plenty of people are smart but few are self-aware.

Ok bot.

Bit ironic on a thread about emotional maturity tbf

Being smart is a necessary survival skill.
"Emotional maturity" (whatever that may be), isn't.

My EQ trial subscription expired.

It's called emotional intelligence and there is a world of books on the subject

At least you’re self-aware about it

Yes, emotional intelligence/emotional maturity/self-awareness overlap quite a lot I think. It seems unevenly distributed compared to raw intelligence/competence.

Interesting. Although I’d probably argue emotional maturity becomes very important for maintaining relationships, handling conflict, self-regulation, parenting, leadership, long-term wellbeing etc, even if raw intelligence is rewarded more directly in some environments.
