I think a lot of people mistake cultural literacy (knowing the right words for situations in a given time and place) with capacity for emotional regulation of self and others. I think I’m about as emotionally intelligent as either of my parents. Just different cultural range.

EI is kinda like a pointillist set of situational literacies. Can you manage personal setback? An angry spouse? A sibling fight? A workplace disagreement with insecure boss? Huge family scene? Can you judge what to manage at all versus let blow up? Can you do it in 3 languages?

Language is a good test. If you can’t manage a social conflict/stress test equally well in 2 languages you know, you’re using verbal skills, not EI. Test doesn’t apply to introspective 1-person situations though.

Replying to @vgr
doesnt this require that you _know_ two languages well enough to articulate a complicated social situation

Yeah this is in general a test available only to multilingual people. The exception is situations that require nonverbal responses or silence.
