The student who led the study says, quote, “We found people from a lower education and income level performed better in terms of emotional intelligence and ability to read emotions others are feeling.”

He believes that this happens because people with less money are more used to having to rely on others for help so you become better at reading the feedback you’re getting to know whether or not the person’s going to help you. Richie Rich never taught us this!
