There are three types of intelligence.

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

Now this thread shows what each of these mean and their impact.

Please kindly share so others can learn.

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

*2. Emotional Quotient (EQ): this is what makes someone to be able to maintain peace with others; keep to time; be responsible; be honest; respect boundaries; be humble, genuine and considerate.

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

People that have higher EQ & SQ tend to go farther in life than those with high IQ but low EQ & SQ. Most schools capitalize in improving IQ level while EQ and SQ are played down
A man of high IQ can end up being employed by a man of high EQ & 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 & come out without losing their centres

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

To parents.

Expose children to other areas of life than academic. In doing these they develop both EQ, SQ and AQ. They become integral and multifaceted human beings able to do things independently of the parents.

Do not always take them to Shoprite and the likes. Also take them to visit the bereaved, the hospitalised and the orphanage.

Finally, do not prepare the way for the children. Prepare the children for the way.
