What is social intelligence really?

anglophone comments on Oct 3, 2020:

To answer those of your questions, both explicit and implicit, that I feel adequate to respond to ... "Am I Wrong?" No, you are not wrong. "Is perhaps social intelligence an opposite of logical intelligence?" No, it is not an opposite, social intelligence is something that is additional to logical intelligence. In a roughly similar way to social intelligence and logical intelligence being different forms of intelligence, sign languages and spoken languages are different forms of communication. Every human has emotions. The existence of emotions is a mere fact, and humans often behave illogically. Human emotions are a major driver of society as evidence by the existence of statutes against rape, murder, other violence, and fraud. Some people have Daltonism. Failure to understand the emotional significance of someone's facial expression is an analogous condition. I hope this helps.
