IQ, EQ & AQ

I want to share the article below again with you because I have witnessed too many persons (both young and old) are having problems with their EQ and AQ.  Persons with low EQ and AQ cannot function properly.

When the Spirit is taking the lead in our spirit, all faculties in the soul will be headed up and in good order.  The mind is becoming renewed and sober; the emotion is becoming balanced and proper; and the will is becoming subdued and obedient. http://www.hymnal.net/hymn.php/nt/521.

 

IQ – Intelligence Quotient

IQ refers to a person’s cognitive abilities, such as language and problem solving skills. This type of intelligence is generally associated with academic achievement. Generally it is believed that children are born with a finite intellectual capacity that varies from child to child. However environmental factors (such as a safe, stimulating environment for the child to explore, and exposure to new experiences and learning opportunities) are important in helping each child develop their intellectual potential.

 

EQ – Emotional intelligence Quotient

EQ or ‘emotional intelligence’ relates to a person’s social competence and is also seen as a key determinant of success in life. Emotional intelligence involves being able to respond appropriately to the emotions of others (interpersonal skills) and also being aware of our own emotions and using them to guide our own behavior (intrapersonal skills). Children should be taught about all emotions – not just about the emotions that make us feel good but also about the emotions we sometimes experience that don’t make us feel so good. Importantly, children can also learn from their parents’ example about how to deal appropriately with difficult emotions and also how we can be sensitive and empathic toward others.

 

AQ – Adversity Quotient

AQ or ‘adversity quotient’ refers to a person’s resilience, their ability to bounce back after a setback and motivation to achieve their goals. This is also a very important in determining success, as most people will encounter setbacks in life, but everyone will deal with these hardships in different ways. Again, parents act as important role models for children and can lead by example.
