Athletes have different characteristics in connection to status, income, popularity and worth. These divide athletes into 2 categories which are Elite and Non Elite athletes. Here, Elite athletes are known to be self-confident and self reliant, which is the hope for a team to win or survive. However, the downside of elite athletes is that, they tend to be self centered and proud, increasing too much of his self worth and tends to belittle people he doesn’t like. This is so, because, he gets superstar treatment. On the other hand, non elite athletes were humble and friendly, but somehow lack of confidence in one sport he actually joined to.
The authors of the Emotional Intelligence Appraisal say they have done this when they say that an analysis of athletes performance based upon the financial indicators from the leader’s metrics indicates leaders who had high scores on the Emotional Intelligence Appraisal were 20% more productive than their low EQ counterparts, accounting for $250,000 more productivity per head than low EQ colleagues in the same regions. 82% of top performers at these organizations were high in EQ, while only 26% of low performers were high in EQ. But since they are also trying to sell a test, an objective opinion from a scientist would really prove it.
When during the Middle Ages (400-1330 A.D) Plato won over Aristotle when the Christian philosophers of this era agreed with Plato that introspection not observation was the better path to discover truth, today, more and more companies are taking EQ tests as a critical factor in hiring employees. Before, high IQ of employees had been the employers basis for hiring the companies future leaders but just the same as how Thomas Aquinas revived the Aristotelian ideas by establishing Christian Science because of his belief that reasoning can lead to God, Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is now more important and useful especially in businesses because it tends to analyze and identify why people do what they do, think as they do and think as they do; with their abilities, motives, disappointments, ambitions, queer streaks.
