The only thing with having a high EQ (in my experience ( I have an estimated IQ of 148 and EQ of 150) is that despite being able to empathize and understand others, sometimes it's quite annoying because of emotional problems you may encounter in life. Remember that having a higher EQ means you are more emotional, and thus it will make you more vulnerable to diseases caused by emotional problems, such as depression. Also, this is only my opinion, but females and gay males would generally have higher EQs than Straight males and lesbians, as they're amygdalas (a part in your brain that functions for emotional abilities) are more developed. (as recently found in researches. Yeah...okay... hahaha....AND YES SOMETIMES>...PEOPLE BELIEVE YOU ARE REALLY WEIRD (or that's the case for me---;;;) cuz you have LAUGH SPASMS and CRYING SPASMS, but that may just be me... Yes...okay... sorry about the crappy reply, but hey, I'm only 13 and Korean;;; (and no, not all High IQ and EQ people are this garrulous) Well, I would think that having a high EQ might be great, and so would having a High IQ.

There are actually a few different types of measurable intelligence, including emotional. You can be intelligent athletically, spatially, linguistically, etc. But even with these newer types of recognized intelligence, society still focuses in IQ. Personally, I like to think truly intelligent people are those that excel at a number of intelligence types. It's been a while since I came to your site Jim (I usually just read your posts through RSS), nice design. I think IQ is overrated.
