I am NOT my brain

William stern defined intelligence as follows, 

Intelligence is a general capacity of an individual consciously to adjust his thinking to new requirements. It is the general mental adaptability to new problems and conditions of life.” 

David Wechsler defined intelligence as “ The aggregate or global capacity of an individual to act purposefully to think rationally and to deal effectively with his environment.” This means intelligence includes 3 abilities namely, acting purposefully, thinking rationally and dealing effectively with environments. 

Howard Gardner defined intelligence as the ability or skill to solve problems or to fashion products that are valued within one or more cultural settings.

Robert Sternberg defined intelligence as a set of mental abilities necessary for adaptation to as well as shaping and selection of any environmental context


 Some speak about these three types of intelligence :

Intelligent Quotient (IQ)
Emotional Quotient (EQ) 
Social Quotient (SQ)


1. Intelligent Quotient (IQ): this is what helps one to "know the book", solve maths; memorize things and recall subject matters.

2. Emotional Quotient (EQ): this is what makes someone be able to maintain peace with others; keep to time; be responsible; be honest; respect boundaries; be humble, genuine and considerate.
Requirements: Self-awareness, emotional awareness of self & others, Accurate self-assessment, self-confidence, Self-management

Emotional intelligence refers to a person's ability to
👉 perceive,
👉 control,
👉 evaluate, and
👉 express emotions.

EQ is centered on abilities such as:

👉 Identifying emotions
👉 Evaluating how others feel
👉 Controlling one's own emotions
👉 Perceiving how others feel
👉 Using emotions to facilitate social communication
👉 Relating to others


Research has found that individuals with strong leadership potential also tend to be more emotionally intelligent, suggesting that a high EQ is an important quality for business leaders and managers to have.

3. Social Quotient (SQ): this is what makes people be able to build a network of friends and maintain it over a long period of time.

Social Intelligence: Being aware of motives & feelings of other people & oneself

People that have higher EQ and SQ tend to go farther in life than those with high IQ but low EQ and SQ. Most schools capitalize on improving IQ levels while EQ and SQ are played down.

A man of high IQ can end up being employed by a man of high EQ and SQ even though he has an average IQ.

Your EQ represents your character; your SQ represents your fame. Give in to habits that will improve these three Qs but more especially your EQ and SQ.

EQ and SQ make one manage better than the other. 

Pls don't teach children only to be IQ but also to be EQ and SQ.

Now there is a 4th one :
A new paradigm

4. The Adversity Quotient (AQ): that makes people go through a rough patch in life and come out without losing their centers.


The AQ determines who will give up in face of troubles, who will abandon their family or who will consider suicide.


Self-efficacy :
An individual's belief in his or her capacity to execute behaviors necessary to produce specific performance attainments (Bandura, 1977, 1986, 1997). Self-efficacy reflects confidence in the ability to exert control over one's own motivation, behavior, and social environment. It is the optimistic self-belief in our competence or chances of successfully accomplishing a task and producing a favorable outcome

 

Wisdom :


  • Better emotional regulation 
  • Good judgment
  • capacity to understand the world as a whole, integrated system & 
  • an understanding of one’s self and others in a more tempered and thoughtful ways
  • Wise Mind,” which represents the optimal balance of your “reasonable mind” (or thinking) with your “emotional mind” (or feeling)—an integration of logic and the intuition that can help you feel calm and centered.
