In my opinion, emotional quotient (EQ) is overused as an gauge to a person's ability to work. In the attached article - emotional_intelligence2[1].pdf, many Canadian employers "looks beyond the hard skills and qualifications of job candidates and places a high premium on EQ". In Canada, there may be an abundance of the population looking for jobs. As such, employers can afford to choose amongst people of various IQ and EQ levels. In Singapore, the number of jobs available to the public is more than the Singaporean population (minus foreign workers). Even with foreign competition, the pool of available workers is based almost entirely on capability to handle the job and do it well. EQ is only judged upon during the course of the employee's work. In school, we're urged to study hard, because of impending competition with fiercer "foreign talent". However, it is a well-known fact that Singapore employers need more employees to work. At the end of the day, it is good to know the difference between an employee with positive EQ and another with a negative one. However, ability still reigns above EQ, and jobs will stay available for those who meet the minimum requirements to do the job well - for now.
