The paper critically examines cognitive elitism, the belief that intellectual ability alone defines merit and leadership.
Originating from controversial theories, cognitive elitism marginalizes emotional intelligence, morality, and social values,
fostering inequality and social fragmentation. The authors argue that overemphasis on intelligence and academic success
undermines empathy, ethics, and inclusivity. To address these issues, the article proposes a transformative concept: cognitive
emotional elitism, incorporating the ME3V model—Morality, Ethics, Empathy, Emotional intelligence, and Values. This
redefined elitism seeks to balance intellect with humanity, promoting social cohesion, equity, and pluralism. The paper calls
for inclusive recognition of diverse cognitive strengths beyond traditional elitist frameworks.
