Warren Buffet and his ice cream don't understand you.
“We found that people from a lower-class background – in terms of occupation, status, education and income level – performed better in terms of emotional intelligence, the ability to read the emotions that others are feeling,” says Michael Kraus, co-author of the study and a postdoctoral student in psychology at the University of California, San Francisco.
But what’s the explanation? Perhaps the rich don’t need to rely on anyone else, while the not-rich have to regularly rely on and interact with other people more often. Or, a scarier explanation: maybe the key to wealth is to be unwilling to empathize or understand other humans.
Do you think the rich

" Maybe the key to wealth is to be unwilling to empathize or understand other humans" Honestly, there might be some truth to this statement.
funny, have to send this out to my rich friends.
I think that people are people…rich or poor. I would have to see the study. My husband has a background in research and he could better tell me if he thought the study was valid, there were enough people surveyed to make generaliztions from, etc
WOW! I have major problems with this study! Talk about compartmentilization. Just has to be flawed in some way.
lol Maybe that's why the big shots in politics just completely.don't.get.it.
Thanks for enabling me to obtain new tips about computer systems. I also possess the belief that certain of the best ways to help keep your laptop computer in excellent condition is a hard plastic-type material case, as well as shell, that suits over the top of the computer. These kinds of protective gear usually are model distinct since they are manufactured to fit perfectly in the natural casing. You can buy them directly from the seller, or from third party places if they are available for your notebook computer, however its not all laptop could have a covering on the market. Once more, thanks for your ideas.
Hey, you used to write wonderful articles, but the last few posts have been kinda boring… I miss your great writing. Past few posts are just a little out of track!
One other issue is when you are in a problem where you would not have a co-signer then you may genuinely wish to try to exhaust all of your educational funding options. You will discover many grants and other scholarships and grants that will present you with funds that can help with education expenses. Many thanks for the post.
interesting. This is only one study though, so I don't think this is conclusive, but plausible.

Wonderful blog! I found it while browsing on Yahoo News. Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News? I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Thank you
Could this be true? I think it's all relative, really. Did Sam Walton do better at this than Donald Trump? I just wonder what kind of people they chose for the study; were they rich egomaniacs primarily vs. low-income folks who volunteer at a shelter? Many variations here…but I'm also going to present this: do rich people build a wall around themselves because so many people come to them for help, in the form of money, connections, jobs, etc?
It is true that rich Americans can't read the people emotions because they have not passed through this situation personally. So this post is dragging our attention towards very important issue. Thanks for it.
This might explain the disconnect between the 1% and the 99%. Greed will ruin this country, compassion will save it.
