It seems that measures of emotional intelligence are only associated with but not shown to cause or be good predictors of academic achievement.
The academic achievement levels used in studies are rough groups like comparing >80% scores as high achievement vs. <60% scores as low achievement.
I would guess that at the highest levels of academic achievement, emotional intelligence ackshuly drops.
Generally agree with this. I'm not 100% certain EQ would drop in the highest level of academic achievement though.
A lot of people at highest academic achievement levels have high AQ, and usually people with high AQ have low EQ.
We probably need to agree what is high AQ? I assume you are referring to the North American GPA or grade point average? In Australia we have nominal Pass/Credit/Distinction and High Distinction which varies along GPA depending on the state.
If then you have very high AQ you will need to modulate your emotions in order to focus/concentrate and attain high grades. This would not be likely unless you have moderate to high EQ...of course if you are referring to savant autistic individuals with photographic memory then that's another matter entirely.
By AQ, I mean autism quotient.
I can tell you that focusing and concentrating don't require much modulation of emotions at all, you just have to focus on your special interest like autistic people often do.
The people I am talking about are people around me, many of whom have lots of autistic traits and high AQ/low EQ and highest levels of academic achievement.
