Another 80/20 Proposition

Daniel Goleman says in his book, Emotional Intelligence: "There are widespread exceptions to the rule that IQ predicts success--at best, IQ contributes about 20% to the factors that determine life success, which leaves 80% to other forces. These other characteristics are called emotional intelligence: abilities such as being able to motivate oneself abd persist in the face of frustration; to control impulse and delay gratification; to regulate one's moods and keep distress from swamping the ability to think; and to emphasize and to hope."
