I Like Intelligent People
Is it really a quote of some kind, an IQ?
Or is it a measurement of empathy?

I.Q. stands for Intelligence [i][b]Quotient[/b][/i] and means:
[quote]
an intelligence test score that is obtained by [b][i]dividing[/i][/b] mental age, which reflects the age-graded level of performance as derived from population norms, by chronological age and multiplying by 100: a score of 100 thus indicates a performance at exactly the normal level for that age group.[/quote]
Consequently, the definition of a quotient is:
[quote]The result of a division[/quote]
E.Q. is the one that refers to empathy; your performance in empathy versus the norm.
You can't really say it's a measurement because it has no discrete units - it's a qualitative scale (at least, I think. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong). In one sense it might be quantitative data (we can measure a score) but it is not necessarily valid because you can't always obtain the same result if you measure the object the same way (thus it's not reliable).
