That's not "pretty clear" at all--and you've provided no argument.

As a lifetime member and former officer of Mensa, I know many people with both very high IQ and very high EQ.

The smartest person I’ve ever met— like, well-cited research for all 3 PhDs and still does a lot of it, a few moderately popular books, yet also teaches very popular classes at a world-class university— is extremely socially adept.
