I've noticed the smartest people in the world tend to be rational, logical, and analytical. Knowing that one can make a guess that the smartest people are in careers involving technology, math, an science.

I've noticed the dumbest people in the world tend to rely on their emotions and how they feel about something at a given point in time.

Given the above points I concluded that intelligence can be portrayed through a scale of two points. One point is analytical and the other empathetic. Dug deeper and actually found a study that suggests humans can't use empathy and analytical thinking at the same time. It's either on or the other: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1053811912010646?v=s5 Shocking.

I finally understood that most people value their feelings or how one makes them feel then any other rational, logical, or analytical thinking. Really not going to complain about that because we see it everyday in the news and politics. In this world feelings are more important than facts not vice versa.

You would think that if you gave someone all the facts, statistics, studies, and science that they would accept it and change their view, but that's just not how the world works. Cognitive dissonance is a real thing.
In any case, I believe Robert Greene said it right in his book 48 laws of power:
