The genetic component of Emotional Intelligence
- Emotional intelligence is a product of the brain's limbic system governing feelings, impulses and drives
- The limbic system learns best through motivation, extended practice and feedback
- Training the limbic system however, takes a lot longer than training the neocortex that governs analytical and technical ability and reasoning
