That myth has been floating around for decades — and it’s holding people back. Too often, men get cast as logical, stoic, or “unemotional,” while women are framed as the feelers, the intuitive ones, the ones who “naturally” understand relationships.

But here’s the truth: emotional intelligence (EQ) isn’t a gendered skill. It’s a human skill. And when men dismiss it, they cut themselves off from the very tool that could transform their relationships, careers, and overall well-being.

If you’re tired of fighting about the same things … money, dishes, who texts back, how much time you spend together, you’re not alone. Every couple swears “we’re not actually fighting about this” while still circling the same arguments.

IQ has been the gold standard of intelligence for over a century.
It measures problem-solving, logic, reasoning, and memory. But in today’s world…one defined by rapid change, human connection, and constant stress… IQ is no longer the only thing that matters.

Most people assume emotional intelligence is about being calm all the time or never losing your cool. That’s not it…

You can’t fake emotional intelligence for long. These questions cut past surface charm and show you how someone actually engages with feelings — theirs and yours.
