I’d say EQ (emotional) is more useful on a daily basis

    Maybe, but I don't know if that's a good thing. Social intelligence is how CEOs and other charlatans get disproportionate success in society, and if all we had was social intelligence humanity would be nothing but smooth-talking cavemen.

    If we all had emotional intelligence, we'd be good at seeing through the shit of smooth-talking cavemen.

    People often say that psychopaths act like they do because they don't know how it makes people feel but the opposite is actually true - they know exactly how other people feel which is why they're so good at manipulating them. They simply just don't feel bad about taking advantage of that.
