Before we go into the types of measure of intelligence, let us understand the meaning of intelligence itself.
What is intelligence? Intelligence means the capacity of the mind, especially to understand principles, truths, facts or meanings, acquire knowledge, and apply it to practice; the ability to learn and comprehend.
According to psychologists, there are three ways by which intelligence is measured*
They are through:-
*Intelligence Quotient (IQ)*
*Emotional Quotient (EQ)*
*Social Quotient (SQ)*
1. *Intelligence Quotient (IQ)*: this is the measure of one's comprehensive ability; to solve maths; memorize things and recall subject matters.
*2. Emotional Quotient (EQ)*: this is the measure of one's ability to maintain peace with others; keep to time; be responsible; be honest; respect boundaries; be humble, genuine and to be considerate.
3. *Social Quotient (SQ):* this is the measure of one's ability to socialise ; build a network of friends and maintain it over a long period of time.
People that have higher EQ and SQ tend to go farer in life than those who has high IQ but low EQ and SQ.
Most schools concentrates more on improving IQ level than the EQ and SQ.
A man with a high IQ may end up being employed by a man with a high EQ and SQ ,even though this other man may just be on average on the IQ measurement.
Your EQ represents your character ; your SQ represents your charisma. One should give in to habits that will help him or her improve these three intelligent measures ( Qs) , but more especially your EQ and SQ.
One can do very well in any of his field of endervour if he give himself to having more of the EQ and SQ,even if the person is on the average of the IQ.
Pls don't teach children only to be higher on their IQ but also to be high on EQ and SQ.
Now there is a 4th one :
A new paradigm
4. *The Adversity Quotient (AQ)*: the measure of one's ability t endure hard times in life and come out without losing his or her mind and faith.
AQ determines who gives up in the time of troubles, who abandons his or her family or who considers taking a suicide because of hard times
Expose your children to other areas of life other than academics. They shoud be involved in doing manual labour works (never use work as a form of punishment), sport and art.
Develop their EQ, SQ and AQ at the same time they are developing their IQ.
This will help them integrate more easily with the world around then in any environment they see themselve and will help prepare them to face any situation that may come around then at any given time in life.
Finally, do not prepare the road for the children. Prepare the children for the road.
Please stay safe,
God bless you.
