if scientists are good at analyzing situtations, why aren't their EQ neccesary all that great?
Scientists' EQ: Analyzing Situations & Necessary EQ Levels
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the relationship between scientists' analytical skills and their emotional intelligence (EQ). Participants argue that while scientists excel in objective analysis, their EQ may not be as developed due to the nature of scientific work, which prioritizes logic over emotional considerations. The conversation highlights that fields like chemistry, physics, and mathematics often do not require emotional engagement, allowing for a more detached approach to problem-solving. Additionally, the humorous notion that scientists could be overly logical, akin to the character Spock, is mentioned to emphasize the balance between emotional and rational aspects of life.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of Emotional Quotient (EQ) and its relevance in professional settings.
- Familiarity with the scientific method and its emphasis on objective analysis.
- Knowledge of the differences between emotional intelligence and cognitive intelligence (IQ).
- Awareness of the cultural perceptions of scientists and their emotional lives.
- Research the impact of emotional intelligence on team dynamics in scientific research.
- Explore methods for enhancing emotional intelligence in technical fields.
- Investigate the role of emotional intelligence in leadership within scientific organizations.
- Study case examples of successful scientists who effectively balance EQ and IQ.
This discussion is beneficial for scientists, researchers, educators, and professionals in STEM fields seeking to understand the importance of emotional intelligence in their work and interpersonal relationships.

EQ?
IQ?
If you mean IQ, then it's because IQ is worthless and the tests are flawed.

The reference to EQ is probably referring to an "Emotional Quotient."
Science isn't really a subjective field like the humanities, so it doesn't really need to consider the emotional factor as much as objective rationalization is needed in scientific endeavours. One can be a chemist/physicist/mathematician and careless about emotions, as it isn't pertinent to their work in general; that coupled with (generally) the scientific nature to be overtly logical and practical.
Adding to that... theoretically scientists could then function in their pursuit of science if they were overly Spockish and had no emotion whatsoever, but then the scientists wouldn't have wives/husbands.
