Is having a high IQ a prerequisite to being a great engineer?

All those expletives made me squirm.

sorry to offend you.

I am not offended but it was just gratuitous.

In this particular case, you are right. And I fixed it. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

IQ + EQ = great engineer

IQ + EQ = great anything except a drone. But that's either impossible or very, very hard to find.

There's a reason people with very high IQs tend to be social outcasts; the way they perceive and model the world deviates considerably from the norm. And unless they succeed socially (typically by making a lot of money) the world will generally be quite happy to leave them be.

The 4 colleagues I mention in my writeup had both -- IQ + EQ. They were kind, humble, and patient people. But you're right, that combo is rare.

IS NO!

MONGO GREAT GNEER, MONGO DO NOT GREAT IQ!
