Understanding IQ, EQ and SQ..

Physical Intelligence: Wise nutrition, Consistence balance exercises Proper
rest, relaxation, stress management and preventing. Mental
intelligent:Continuous, systematic, disciplined study and education
Cultivation of self awareness, learning by teaching and doing. Emotional
intelligent:Self awareness, Personal motivation, Self regulation, Empathy,
Social skill. Spiritual Intelligence: Integrity ( Character building ) ,Meaning (
Purpose of life ),Voice( Self Enlightenment and motivate to other ) . IQ:
Intelligence Quotient which measures rational thought abilities, is
considered a critical ‘trait’ for leadership. IQ associated learning is step-by-
step rule based learning. To be successful, you don’t have to be the
smartest guy in the room, but you have to be smart enough. What ‘smart
enough’ is depends on what kind of organization that you’re leading. EQ:
Emotional intelligence is the ability to assess, access and control your
emotions, and those of others. Basically, if you have emotional intelligence,
you have the ability to perceive, understand, use, and manage
emotions.There are lots of arguments about whether this is “real”
intelligence, but most of us know people who are good at this and can see
that there is something to it. Again, EQ is considered a requisite for
success in leadership. SQ: Social intelligence is the ability to understand,
manage, and navigate complex social networks. It is also called
‘interpersonal intelligence.’ Leaders of global organizations and project
managers of virtual teams require this SQ to be successful. Some assert
that autistic children have low social intelligence. As the world has grown
more complex, as organizations have grown, changed, evolved, this
intelligence has become more important. Perhaps the most controversial
of the ‘Q’s', spiritual intelligence is defined as “the adaptive use of spiritual
information to facilitate everyday problem solving and goal attainment." 5
components of spiritual intelligence: The capacity to transcend the
physical and material. The ability to experience heightened states of
consciousness. The ability to sanctify everyday experience. The ability to
utilize spiritual resources to solve problems. The capacity to be virtuous.

IQ, EQ, SQ: What is it?

Each of us has certain strengths and natural styles. We have all met (and
perhaps are) the person who is incredibly book smart, but who has
absolutely no common sense. We all know the incredibly smart arrogant
emotional bully. Being too much of one of these, and not enough of the
others makes you a “flat tire.” You can be successful–up to a point.
Depending on your job (scientist, lawyer, teacher, executive) you need more
of one and less of the others. To be successful in almost any job, however,
you need some of all of these. EQ and IQ might be the Yin and Yang of
leadership, but there are many other factors in play. The core of leadership
comprises multiple intelligences — cognitive, spiritual, moral, behavioural,
and emotional. Cognitive intelligence is the ability to understand
information, imagine possibilities, use intuition, solve problems and make
decisions. Spiritual intelligence is the ability to understand that human
beings have a need for meaning, value and a sense of worth in what they
do. Moral intelligence is the ability to differentiate right from wrong
according to universal principles. Behavioural intelligence is the ability to
act appropriately according to different situations. Emotional intelligence is
the ability to understand the needs and feelings of oneself and other
people, manage one’s feelings, and respond to others in appropriate ways.

A New Paradigm of Intelligence...

One who has developed intelligence has a great capacity to receive
information, process it and analyse it. They are able to think in an abstract
way, and also learn significant lessons from experience. However, research
has shown that intelligence is not sufficient. The most intelligent people
are not always the most successful and happy people in the world.
Interestingly, they aren’t necessarily the people that change the world either
(although some of them have). Psychologists and neuroscientists are
increasingly talking about the need for Emotional Quotient (EQ). According
to them, EQ is a basic requirement for successful utilization of IQ. Those
with high EQ’s are able to effectively handle their own emotions, and
simultaneously interact and relate with others successfully. Animals and
humans have a tendency to act irrationally when certain emotions arise in
their consciousness. In times of stress, anger and anxiety, intelligence is
difficult to access. Thus, EQ deals with the human side of life and how we
effectively function in the environments surrounding us. To some extent
computers have the power of IQ. One could argue that animals have the
power of IQ and EQ. So what sets humans apart? This is where the notion
of SQ comes in – Spiritual Quotient. IQ and EQ help us in our present
situations, but SQ is all about transformation. The spiritualist has the power
to question on a deeper level – who am I, what are my needs, what goals
should I be pursuing, and what will really make me happy. They may seem
like simple questions, but if we analyse ourselves, how many times are we
busily engaged in pursuing things without really questioning whether they
are necessary, fulfilling and really adding value? Our lives are often
centered around asking the question ‘how’, but SQ is all about asking the
question ‘why’.

Values for Living...

SQ replaces the ego with the soul, both as the seat of personal identity, and
as the governor of IQ and EQ. SQ therefore exercises IQ and EQ from the
soul, at the subject-pole of attention, instead of from the ego, at the object-
pole of attention. When IQ (thought) and EQ (emotion) are governed by SQ
(spirit), thoughts and emotions are transformed in quality and given a
whole new purpose. Once these factors are analyzed and related to each
other, it becomes clear that mental, physical and social factors all
contribute to the holistic health of a person in the form of IQ, EQ and SQ. It
can also be concluded that the health of whole human society depends on
an individual’s health and the social factors. Health, education and moral
institutions can combine to create a healthy atmosphere for the entire
human society. Intellectual Quality is how we use our minds and how we
think, not our ability to think or the measurement of our thinking in relation
to the "norm".Emotional Quality how we react or respond to events and
situations in our lives. It how we manage our emotions moment by
moment, day after day. Social Quality is how we connect with and relate to
others. It is how a student engages with other people in his or her
environment.

Intelligence Quotient (IQ) - Is about thinking

IQ measures our cognitive ability but academic or cognitive intelligence
alone offers little preparation for the emotional challenges we all have to
face in the course of our daily lives. Measuring IQ alone is not enough;
measuring the whole is more accurate and conclusive, IQ and EQ and SQ - a
holistic approach.

Emotional Quotient (EQ) - Is about feeling

EQ is a term used to represent other factors that can lead to healthy
relationships and the ability to respond appropriately and positively to every
day life. It is about recognising emotions and managing them. Emotions
without a physical expression are collections of thoughts. Talking about
emotions means we have to have an understanding and a language for
feelings then we have to be able to articulate our feelings. EQ is about
understanding ourselves, how we relate to others and how others perceive
us. EQ also helps us to understand how others are feeling and enables us
to develop more fulfilling and deeper relationships. All this is essential if we
are to be able to manage and resolve conflict as and when it arises as well
as functioning collaboratively and collectively in everyday situations.
Spiritual Quotient (SQ) - Is about being

SQ is very difficult to define. But it needs to be clear it is not about

organised religion. SQ is about questions more than answers. It lives in
stories, poetry, metaphor, uncertainty and paradox. One of the biggest
qualities of SQ is wisdom. Ingredients of SQ are values such as courage,
integrity, intuition, compassion, empathy and knowing the limits of your
knowledge. SQ can also mean unlearning what others have taught you;
questioning life issues; thinking laterally or outside the box; seeing
situations and issues differently; having a greater understanding of all
possibilities. Spirituality is an essential component of a holistic approach to
life, its finds expression in creativity and all art forms and is the bit that
adheres together our conscious intellect and our intelligent action.
Spirituality sustains us from within when all else fails; spirituality allows us
to dream, aspire and raise ourselves up.
