Covey advocates that there are four intelligences, emotional/ social, mental, physical, and spiritual.
I would like to suggest that it is wrong to disregard people just because they are lesser intelligent in one of these areas than you are.
For example, say I meet someone who is somewhat blunt and inconsiderate. If I decide that that emotionaly unintelligent person, in his totality, is bad, then I might be trashing a lot of mental, physical, and spiritual talent.
For some reason, he might not really get how people should be treated and why.
I suggest the better approach is to confess that maybe he is underdeveloped in that area and might need some help, but leave a margin that he might be exceptional in the three other arenas.
Don't toss the baby out with the bath water.
