There is IQ, EQ, and even purely intellectual aspects have a million facets. So you're wrong even on that front.
Someone can be really good at physics and suck completely at biology, due to factors we don't even understand (motivation probably being the main one we do understand).
We even see this in practice with super bright tech people, especially programmers, failing at launching businesses or at adapting in other lines of work such as management, finance, etc.

This is simply not true. EQ is not a real construct supported by research. There are not 'intellectual aspects' that diverge from g.
Do yourself a favor and familiarize yourself with the psychological literature. I don't mean this in a condescending way! The gap between popular reporting and actual psych research is enormous and not at all your fault. I only know this myself because I did a PhD in research psychology.
