Actually, quite the opposite. People with high "EQ" are particularly sensitive to the discomfort invoked in individuals by hamfisted attempts at generating group conformity. But it's wonderful to have your emotional intelligence insulted while your intellect is under assault.

One way you know you're in a cult and being manipulated is that you or someone else is being singled out as an example of someone who's unwilling to adhere to whatever ridiculous stunt they're being asked to perform. The person asking them to do it is usually a psychopath using the oldest trick in the book: The ability to manipulate people by leveraging the innate human need for approval from the group.

And it's always those with emotional intelligence who are singled out for abuse. Of course, the psychopaths running the experiment also have "high EQ" - of a very particular and malevolent sort.

Rating: Cheap trick, poorly executed. 2/5. And not nice.
