RE: The Intelligence Spectrum: Emotional Intelligence

Yeah, I think you said this better than I did. This was actually what I set out to write when I began, but the post took a mind of its own and pivotted.

In this way, I don’t think I would consider manipulation one of the things you did.

You're right here as well. I guess I should've been more clear that "manipulation" as I used it in that part of the post was simply just having and using information to your advantage (which is what I did in this case during the supervisor's visit). It's really just wisdom, as you've described.

In my conversation with her, I told her I was going to be taking her as a mentor (and I will). She's involved with some things I hope to play with myself when I grow up, so I figured she'd be the best person for a mentor. It helps that she sounded excited about it as well. hehe

Thanks for the input, man:)
