I think you mean skepticism and critical thought. You mention both, but emotional intelligence isn’t what you’re after. Emotional intelligence is a skill that could be manipulated to get past someone’s skepticism. Emotion, “feels”, get in the way of critical thought.

Everyone feels emotions. Emotional intelligence means being capable of recognizing your own emotions (or other people’s) and not let them rule you, but to let you rule them, so they can help you when necessary and not damage you.
