This paper addresses the role that emotions play in intelligence. Who knew that intelligence is more than just a number on an IQ test. In school, we always believe the smartest students are the most intelligent; the ones that are bound to go further in life and be most successful. But it turns out; emotions have more to do with success than originally thought. Being intelligent is more than just doing well on tests and scoring a high IQ. Consequently, the smartest people, the students with the high grades aren't always the ones that end up being the most successful. What is taught in school isn't all a person needs to succeed in life; there's more to it than that. The role this paper takes is discussing how emotions play a role in intelligence.
