Sent this to my friends flexing a "top 65%" score. The site didn't make it clear that's not a good thing.

I’d say EQ (emotional) is more useful on a daily basis
Maybe, but I don't know if that's a good thing. Social intelligence is how CEOs and other charlatans get disproportionate success in society, and if all we had was social intelligence humanity would be nothing but smooth-talking cavemen.
If we all had emotional intelligence, we'd be good at seeing through the shit of smooth-talking cavemen.
We almost all have, but those without (at least those with ego problems) hone their skills their entire life to fool everyone else. IMO.
Good point.
People often say that psychopaths act like they do because they don't know how it makes people feel but the opposite is actually true - they know exactly how other people feel which is why they're so good at manipulating them. They simply just don't feel bad about taking advantage of that.
There is scientific evidence for the existence of emotional intelligence, but it not yet clearly defined nor easily measured.

It mainly exists as a tool for consultants to extract fees from corporate clients.
My only weakness! (Well also bright lights, rough textures, certain sounds...)
