The entire concept of "EQ" is a farce invented by people with low IQ who couldn't see it as anything other than a social value judgement, so they invented their own alternative social value judgement to misrepresent their inability to control their emotions as a strength. The only thing I'll say in their favour is that trying to game the system is at least more duplicitous than the more usual approach of just throwing a tantrum.
If you'd like a metaphor, EQ is a paper star with the words "You Tried" on it.
In any case, this "story" fails at both realism and the fundamental elements of fiction that make a story interesting. And without either of those, it is no more than a series of disjointed events that don't relate to anything.
