Some studies suggest that those with a low EQ are more likely to argue stupid points. EQ, in case you're unaware, is also known as emotional intelligence. "This is the somewhat intangible personal metric through which we navigate relationships and manage our behavior in order to achieve positive results," explains news outlet Aleteia.
"People who lack EQ form an opinion quickly and then succumb to confirmation bias, meaning they gather evidence that supports their opinion and ignore any evidence to the contrary," adds the site. "More often than not, they argue, ad nauseam, to support it."
As per Aleteia, emotionally intelligent people are more likely to bite their tongues and let their thoughts marinate. That's because they're self-aware and know that often, initial reactions are emotionally charged.
"They give their thoughts time to develop and consider the possible consequences and counter-arguments," it explains. "Then, they communicate their developed idea in the most effective way possible, taking into account the needs and opinions of their audience."
