Diana , in your opinion , which is more important , IQ or EQ ?   Why are you asking me the strange question , Jerry ?   I watched the movie Forrest Gump last night . And the question just lined in my mind .   Well . I think IQ matters more . But it won't work without EQ .   Why ? You seem pretty sure about it .   Because an intellectual mind can only be a beneficial thing in life .   But IQ is decided at birth.One can't expect to make a lot of improvement in it .   That's why people's achievement varies greatly .   That ' s true , but what if one comes across some difficulties . He must rely on his EQ to deal with them .   Yes , Jerry , can you share your understanding of EQ ?   I think it is independent of IQ and plays a prominent role in deciding the way we live our lives .   Quite right . Have you noticed that a high IQ is not a must for one's success ?
