Here are the four types of intelligence you should know

There are four types of intelligence according to psychologists:

1) Intelligence Quotient (IQ)
2) Emotional Quotient (EQ)
3) Social Quotient (SQ)
4) Adversity Quotient (AQ)


Let's look at this in details

1. Intelligence Quotient (IQ): this is the measure of your comprehension ability", solve maths; memorize things and recall subject matters. This is usually the determinant in measuring if someone is a genius through his/her ability to solve complex problems.


2. Emotional Quotient (EQ): this is the measure of your ability to maintain peace with others; keep to time; be responsible; be honest; respect boundaries; be humble, temperate, genuine and considerate.


3. Social Quotient (SQ): this is the measure of your ability to build a network of friends and sustain it over a long period of time.

People that have higher EQ and SQ tend to be more successful than those with high IQ but low EQ and SQ. Academia capitalizes in improving the IQ level while EQ and SQ are down played which unfortunately has shaped us too.

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 charisma. Give in to habits that will improve these three Qs but more especially your EQ and SQ.


Then here is the fourth one needed to succeed especially in critical times, it is called


4. The Adversity Quotient (AQ): this is a measure of your ability to go through a rough patch in life and come out without losing your mind.
AQ determines who will give up in the face of troubles, who will abandon their family or who will consider suicide.
EQ and SQ makes you a better manager than the others.


If you are starting something quite new or exploring a new field, then Adversity Quotient (AQ) is critical to your survival. In challenging times like this with loved ones lost, jobs lost, investment depreciates and we don't know the end of it yet. You need to toughen up against all odds, pick up your life back and keep moving. Emphatize with those going through a difficult time too. You may be really smart which is cool, but if you can't weather the storm then it won't be worthwhile. Stand-up to this challenge and don't throw in the towel yet. Apply for another job, pick up a new skill, learn and start a new business. A lot of persons are still counting on you, don't quit yet as you will come out stronger.
