IQ + EQ = great anything except a drone. But that's either impossible or very, very hard to find.

There's a reason people with very high IQs tend to be social outcasts; the way they perceive and model the world deviates considerably from the norm. And unless they succeed socially (typically by making a lot of money) the world will generally be quite happy to leave them be.

The 4 colleagues I mention in my writeup had both -- IQ + EQ. They were kind, humble, and patient people. But you're right, that combo is rare.
