Drop generic Baye’s rule recommendations in favor of applications:
Results oriented—what works works, theory or no theory. Example: Making a good first impression formally, it may be obvious that there are better and worse things to say/methods of delivery than others. Past a certain point, this might not be super useful—but the basics matter.
Types, and balance. Some people like talking. Some people like being around lots people. If someone likes talking, maybe listening more helps in that situation. But tendencies aren’t the be all, end all, anymore than moods are. Things that are generally the case about a person matter, but current circumstances (in the moment/thinking fast rather than working out ahead of time) can be a big deal as well—especially when they differ.
Noticing mistakes, or benefits just from thinking about things more.
Your friend might disagree because the idea of general methods are counter-intuitive. (Different types of people, different things that appeal, etc.) People do generally exhibit some pattern (like their interests) which are important, and important to them (shared interests can bring people together).
Emotional logic is orthogonal to formal logic,
Not completely.
we can’t always use one type of intelligence to make decisions related to another type of intelligence.
Indeed. Here the relation might be visible (and useful) around basic stuff. (Being nicer is more effective, etc.)
While there might not be a lot of overlap, maybe someday a computer will be able to infer ‘frustration’ from someone punching it—without otherwise being filled to the brim with emotional intelligence. (If only as a result of hardcoding.)

I like your top comments a lot. Thanks for the answer!
