You just know that with these scientists, they just cram whenever a test comes and just pass it perfectly. With no sweat at all. Our teachers told us, it’s their high IQs. Really? Edison was kicked out of school after 3 months. Einstein dropped out because school “crushed the spirit of learning.” Now, why is Mother Theresa loved by many? Or Martin Luther King Jr.? We somehow know that if they also take a test, they could ace it just fine. Is it because history tells them they also have high IQs? Or is it something else? That something else is their emotional intelligence. They are able to use their passion in such a way that it made them successful. IQ is not the answer to everything.
