EQ Matters More than IQ
【正确答案】[范文]
   
EQ Matters More than IQ

   While intelligence quotient (IQ) makes people more outstanding in their academic studies, emotional quotient (EQ) renders people more likable and endearing. To me, I agree with the statement that EQ is more important than IQ.
   Surveys show that 80% of humans have an IQ ranging from 80 to 120. This can be interpreted that, since the IQ of most people is within the normal scope, EQ is a more significant ingredient. In effect, the importance of IQ is generally measured in terms of intelligence-related study and research. In other words, IQ determines the depth of such activities. However, it is EQ that underlies the happiness in life. In addition, EQ plays a profound role in interpersonal relationship, stress management, and mood control etc. Therefore, it is not rare to see that many smart people, due to lack of EQ, are ill-tempered or on bad terms with those around them.
   In conclusion, EQ is of greater importance than IQ, as it improves the overall well-being of people.
