Being logical and brutally callous, is not the same thing as lacking emotional intelligence. Quite the opposite, in fact; if I'm understanding the material correctly, it is emotional intelligence which grants the ability to "manage and/or adjust emotions to adapt to environments or achieve one's goal(s).", so without this ability, a person who needs to be logical could be prone to sudden outbursts of empathy.
