In my opinion both are important however I feel that emotional intelligence will get you further in life ultimately. In your early school years and further on in university, intellectual intelligence may have been the main factor in success. In these places your grades determine how far you get and your level of achievement. However in the working world it changes. There is a saying, "It's not about what you know, it's about who you know". Whilst intellectual intelligence will get you far, it can only get you so far. One only has to look at some of the richest people in the world today to realise that these are not people who are necessarily intellectually advanced like the top engineers or scientists in the world. In most cases the people who are the most successful are the people who are emotionally intelligent. They know how to interact with people, how to influence them through the use of social media and marketing. Ultimately your success in life is driven by your interactions with other human beings who can help you to achieve your goals.
