Emotional Intelligence Was Only Ever Meant To Be An Analogy. It attempts to take what we understand about Intelligence (IQ) and just assume that emotions must be the same.
What emotional intelligence does do is… teach basic social skills to people who otherwise treat other humans like economic units. It reminds leaders in business careers that their employees are, in fact, human and that perhaps treating them like humans and not machines will improve their productivity.
That being said, there is evidence to suggest that humans vary in their sensitivity to emotions more broadly, where some people experience emotions more intensely or experience a wider range of distinct emotions. There is likely some correlation between the perceived amount that you feel and efforts to manage those feelings successfully.
