According to Daniel Goleman, Emotional Intelligence is more important than_.

In his book, Goleman takes the perspective that understanding human nature overlooking the power of emotion is sadly limited. As we know from facts and figures, feelings mold our decision-making process every step of the way and more than we think. So emphasizing and valuing rationality over emotions is a mistake. When strong emotions bubble up, no IQ measure can keep them under control.

Therefore, if your SATs were not that high, you need not worry; there is more to success than grades and assessments; You must frequently ask yourself: 'How am I feeling today?' Knowing the answer to this question daily will prove efficient when faced with intense emotions seemingly hard to control.
