> Maybe some HR managers believe that empathy and "EQ" are more important than IQ?
Have you ever interacted with HR? I'm pretty sure they are trained to be cold and uncaring, and to apply business rules without exception. Never heard an ounce of empathy from any of them, it always feels like interacting with an automaton that was somehow annoyed with you.

Plenty of times. Some that are really smart, some that are not. Some that are cold and "corporate", some that are getting way too personal. (As in a "metoo" moment.)
Politically, I've met at least one that was secretly a eugenicist and others that are pretty far left.
All of them individuals, but several of them collectivists.
