The 11 March 2010 edition of the TIME magazine had a great cover article on “10 ideas for the next 10 years“. In the same edition, Nancy Gibbs (who has often written on generational issues for TIME), wrote an interesting short piece on how young people perceive the generation gap these days. It’s [...]
A report under this title appeared in the New York Times on 12 March 2010. It’s a great example of a few things, but especially of the power of social media, and the fact that innovation (and competition) can come from anywhere these days.
Read the story of how technology developed in the aftermath of [...]

In the last few hours the 10 billionth tweet was tweeted on Twitter. As one would imagine there was all kinds of hype and excitement, as Tweeps with the necesary skills attempted to predict the time it would happen, and I imagine even be ‘the one’?

Nice one Aiden
While I disagree that EI can be learned, I do think many who already have some degree of EI can enhance what they have. I have yet to see someone who is an ESTJ who can emphathize with his audience. He cannot “get” what the audience wants or needs to hear because he cannot imagine himself as the audience. He probably spouts information with no boundries to what is relavent, starting with the a complete history of the subject, all the way to the present time. By the time he gets to what the audience needs or wants to hear, there is little or no time left. Or, in another instance, he may have specific information that is relevent, only because the situation requires it. But what does he do? He gives a bare-bones presentation. Either the recipient “gets it” or he doesn’t.
But maybe I’m being a little unfair. After all, the statement made could have been a generalization. Also, I don’t claim to be an expert on the subject, only speaking from my own experience.
I would be curious to know what types of companies would be attracted to this idea of finding out who in the company has a high EQ (as I call it) and what they would do once that is done. I’ve heard that some companies do use the MBTI or others. People who take it, like it, from what I have read, but they wonder what good it does, and I wonder what use of it the company has made (or attempts to make) of it.
It seems there are others who share the idea that EI can be learned.
