Yeah but does ridiculously sharp have anything to do with excelling at the glorified third grade math we call financial modeling, and making powerpoints look tidy.. I studied physics and computer science at university, and have realized I’m awful at this job. Not because I don’t feel I’m clever enough, but I seriously can’t take the processing work seriously. I don’t plan on staying in finance, but think the question is worth entertaining.

You wont get to MD without the technical skillset and the BEST MDs/Partners I've worked with are ridiculously sharp

Skillset is absolutely something onecannot live without especially in early stages. EQ will help you better though, or the opposite.
