ex)Way back in 1920, psychologist Edward Thorndike created the original formulation of "social intelligence". He defined it as "the ability to understand and manage men and women," skills we all need to live well in the world. However, that definition also allows pure manipulation to be considered a mark of interpersonal talent. Even now some descriptions of social intelligence offer no distinctions between the callow aptitudes of a con man and the genuinely caring acts that enrich...In my view, simply being manipulative should not be seen as socially intelligent. Instead, we might think of "social intelligence" as a shorthand term for being intelligent not just about our relationships but also in them. This concept lets us look beyond the individual to understand what actually transpires as people interact.
