This is a study that the technology-24 hour-screen-bound-nerd hoping to create the next Internet success should notice: Being able to read people’s emotions turns out to be an important trait if you want to succeed professionally. A new study conducted by German researchers looked at how well people read the emotions of others. They also looked at the professional backgrounds, and salary of the study’s participants. They discovered an interesting correlation: those who scored highest on the emotions test had more success in their careers and made more money. Social skills still count. That’s good news for society.
