IQ isn’t everything
Since the time of the early 20th century, psychologists discovered ways and means to measure intelligence. They devised these tests to sort people into various degrees of intelligence. The theory is that the higher one’s IQ, the more intelligent the person is deemed to be. But IQ isn’t everything. IQ alone does not make the person. It certainly is not a measure of whether a person eventually becomes successful in life or not. Some people may have high IQ but they use their intelligence to hurt others. Such people are frowned upon and they will eventually have to pay for their misdeeds. So I guess, that does not make them that smart after all.
In the mid-1990s, research by many neuro-scientists and psychologists showed that EQ – Emotional Quotient is a higher form of intelligence. In fact, it a basic requirement for the effective use of IQ. EQ is the ability and skill to identify and manage the emotions of one’s self and of others. If you have high EQ, you have a greater capacity to cope with the pressures from the environment and people. With a high EQ, you are probably well liked by others, are more likely to land a good job and excel in your relationships.
It has been observed that a person overpowered by emotions fails to act intelligently and rationally. So learning to manage one’s emotions is very important if you want to lead a successful life. And the secret to raising the level of our IQ and EQ, ladies and gentlemen, is to unleash the power and potential in our SQ. What then is SQ? We all came here to find out about this, right? Now scientists contend that the spiritual quotient is the ultimate intelligence. Explore this site to find out more about SQ.
