Both intellectual quotient (IQ) and emotional intelligence (EI) are important in their own ways, but they serve different purposes.
IQ is a measure of cognitive ability that reflects intellectual functioning, such as language comprehension, logical reasoning, problem-solving, spatial relationships, and other forms of abstract thinking. It is an important factor in academic and professional success, as it enables individuals to understand complex ideas, learn quickly, analyze data, and make decisions based on facts and evidence. High IQ individuals are more likely to excel in tasks that require critical thinking, innovation, and strategic planning.
EI, on the other hand, is a measure of social and emotional competence that reflects a person's ability to understand, regulate, and express their own emotions as well as recognize, empathize, and respond to others' emotions. It includes components such as self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills. EI is crucial for building positive relationships, managing conflicts, and leading teams effectively. People with high EI are better able to connect with others, communicate their ideas clearly, resolve conflicts peacefully, and collaborate productively.
Both IQ and EI play a vital role in achieving personal and professional success, but they operate independently and complement each other. While IQ may help individuals to gain technical knowledge and problem-solving skills, EI is essential for improving their interpersonal and intrapersonal skills, including communication, leadership, teamwork, and mental health. Therefore, it's essential to cultivate both IQ and EI to achieve a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Arguments
I would rather consider a different categorization: extrospective thinking and introspective thinking. Extrospective thinking is thinking about objects or events out in the world, or abstract concepts, or fantasy stories - thinking about entities that exist outside of one's mind. Introspective thinking is thinking about entities deriving from your mind in some sense, and it is a very different type of thinking, for it features all kinds of negative and positive feedbacks: after all, you are, at the end of the day, thinking about thinking about thinking about..., and there might not be a consistent logical way to do so.
The stereotypical "awkward math professor" exhibits extremely developed extrospective thinking and extremely undeveloped introspective thinking. The stereotypical Buddhist monk meditating in a cave and intentionally quieting his mind exercises advanced introspective thinking and forgoes extrospective thinking. Brian Greene excels at both. And I suck at both.
