  6. Research • At L’Oreal, sales agents selected on EQ competencies significantly outsold those selected using the company’s old selection procedure, increasing revenue by over $2 million. Sales agents selected on the basis of EQ competency also had a 63% decrease in turnover during the first year.

EQ is a stronger predictor of success than experience or high IQ. Study included exec’s from Latin America, Germany, Japan with same results across cultures.
