HUMAN INTELLIGENCEA general definition
One’s overall capacity to think rationally, act
purposefully and to deal effectively with one’s
environment.
There has been a progressive development in the
understanding of the functioning of various aspects of intelligence.
3 Q’s
• IQ – Intelligence Quotient• EQ – Emotional Quotient• SQ – Spiritual Quotient
THE 3 Q’s
IQAt the beginning of the
20th century, as psychologists discovered
ways and means to measure intelligence,
IQAristotle’s
definition of man as a
“rational animal” developed into an obsession with IQ.
Psychologists devised tests for measuring IQ, and these tests became the means for sorting people in degrees of
intelligence.
IQ
Higher a person’s IQ – the theory went – the higher
their intelligence.
IQ
Progressive understanding of the functioning of intelligence
led to an understanding of ‘Emotional Quotient’ orEQ
EQ gives us awareness of our own and other person’s
feelings & emotions.
EQ – A General Definition
EQ is an array of skills that
influences one’s ability to succeed
in coping with environmental
demands and pressures.
A General Definition
In mid-1990s, research of many neuroscientists and
psychologists showed that EQ is of equal importance.
A simple exercise...
EQ
Can you judge the emotions ?
Anger
Fear
Disgust
Surprise
Happiness
Sorrow
It’s been observed, that a person overpowered by
emotions, fails to act intelligently & rationally.
Another simple exercise
EQ
Low EQ
Higher EQ
Highest EQ
It is now believed that EQ is a basic requirement for the
effective use of IQ.
With a positive, optimistic attitude a person with an IQ of 100 will
earn more success
than a
negative, pessimistic individual with an IQ of 120.
Further progress in understanding
of human intelligence
led to a 3rd Q
SQ
Now, scientists contend that the full picture of human intelligence
can be completed with a discussion of our spiritual
intelligence or SQ for short.

Intelligence

Only
Human beings
SQ allows humans to be creative, to seek answers to fundamental questions & play an
'infinite' game.

SQ involves asking 'fundamental'
questions
Who am I ?
What's the meaning of my life? What is real success ?
Who is God & what is my relation with Him?

We act based on our opinions & how we see things !
If our opinions, beliefs & perceptions are faulty, our resultant
actions will also be wrong!
