First, a correction: fluid intelligence's opposite is crystallized intelligence not emotional intelligence (which I think is an odd term). It's adaptive learning Vs memory and retention.

Fluid intelligence (IQ) is pretty much set but social skills are able to be learned and- given a superb ability to learn and adapt- would be manageable. I'm also not saying innately personable people can't manifest positive change, it's just my belief that the potential for manifesting positivity is lesser than with someone who's highly intelligent (if only thanks to their ability to innovate).

Why is emotional intelligence an odd term?

Odd is the wrong word. I guess I just don't like it.

It's an umbrella term that attempts to encompass two very different forms of intelligence that already have names- interpersonal and intrapersonal. 'Emotional intelligence' is all too often used to denote someone highly skilled in interpersonal interaction but will neglect the domain of intrapersonal understanding- which I deem equally valuable.

My issue is pretty much that the term leaves too much room for misuse/misunderstanding and is completely unnecessary given that more specific terms already exist.

Lame.

I was in management for 15 years and was very successful because I understood how to make people feel good about their role in the company and how to squeeze a little extra out of them without asking....yet I am of average intelligence and could not care less about the company and had zero passion for the industry.

I may seem like a wiener on here and I am, but that’s so I can get all the bullpoop out of my system and be a sweet and charming fella out in the world.

I'd hardly say I'm even close to fulfilling his model- at least by external standards. It's likely just a matter of having a different valuation of them but I pretty much squish the Security and Intimacy domains and prioritize the domain of Improvement.

Been a while since I've seen mention of Maslow and his goddam pyramid

Firing only half the Coaching staff is a terrible idea. Chia is a moron. Can't even manage to aquire one decent trigger for McDavid.

While I'm not sure what relevance that has to the post you replied to, let's lay down some facts:

- Connor scored 26 goals in the last 33 games of the year
- Half of that time was spent with noted non-shooter RNH on his flank
- Connor generated an average of 3.7 shots/game over this stretch
- This prorates to just over 300 shots over 82 games
- That would be within the top-10 in the entire NHL

He doesn't need any kind of trigger man; he is his own trigger man. All he needs is some measure of skill with which to make plays. To shell out assets needed elsewhere in order to maybe increase McDavid's effectiveness marginally is short-sighted and stupid. Spending those assets to reinforce our 2nd line (whether centered by RNH or Draisaitl) might be a wise endeavor, but that doesn't seem to be available within a price range that fits the team- thanks to poor cap management.

As for coaching, I don't completely disagree. I think McLellan bares the burden of his staff's abject failure more than anyone else, but I'm also not certain that this method won't still produce positive results. This is a wait and see kind of thing for me.

McLellan is a solid coach his old assistants not so much.

As much as we rag on his Thai lady boy loving ass, the guy did say (frank) it all to his job and leave it all behind for a few months. Gotta give the guy credit for that but since he is permabanned he will get no such credit.

Also Jero don't teach from no textbook and threadboss don't read from no lifebooks so no, Jero did not teach his class.

Even better the Gulutzan signing. Who better to stick it to his old team than the guy who was fired.

He has Ryan Nugent Hopkins on his LW. How many goals do you think he’ll score?

I won’t be. Especially if McDavid gets 40. 66 goals plus the 10 or whatever the 3rd wheel gets is fantastic 1st line production...and it could be even more than that.

I don’t think the Oilers are poop hot by any stretch, but I would be willing to make an Avatar bet that they finish higher in the standings than the Flames.

You got the balls, wussy?

Yeah, the best way to approach it will always be subjective with regards to what the individual prioritizes. Regardless, it is an interesting model to look into and explore.

And lmao.
