I think there is a huge difference between cerebral intelligence and emotional intelligence. And of the two, I think emotional intelligence is the more valuable. For it is the intelligence that will tell you when you are being stupid, ignorant, wrong, arrogant, selfish, presumptuous, etc., etc. All of those paths that cerebral intelligence alone will take you down.
The marriage of cerebral and emotional intelligence is wisdom.
