I agree that charisma is important, but within the EA movement in particular, you won't get far without intelligence. Intelligence is a necessary qualifier for leadership in EA, in other words.
I have a pretty strong confidence level on that one. I'm ready to make a $100 bet that if you ask EA people whether intelligence is a necessary qualifier for leadership in the EA movement, 9 out of 10 will say yes. Want to take me up on this?
I think you go wrong if you assume that "emotionally-oriented" are automatically stupid.
I agree that emotionally-oriented people are not automatically stupid, my point was about what EAs value. If an emotionally-oriented person happens to be also intelligent, then that has certain benefits for the EA movement, of course.
A person who cares about playing status games might be intelligent but still harmful to the EA movement.
I have a strong probabilistic estimate that there are currently a substantial number of people in the EA movement who care about status games. I'm willing to take a bet on that.
