1. 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.
2. IQ, EQ, SQ, PQ : 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.
3. 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’.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. Values for Living
Circle time, personal, social & emotional sessions (PSE) and class discussions should all make time for discussing some of the following: feelings, people who care for us, acts of kindness, support mechanisms, world disasters, death and values. This list is not exhaustive. Choose a value for the week both at home and in school and children are praised and given recognition for displaying this value. Peace Honesty Patience Courage Trust Respect Love Caring Happiness Kindness Friendship Tolerance Freedom Hope Of course all the above applies to all children but especially to gifted and talented children who do not always have mature levels of EQ and SQ. It's important we nurture such children in order that they are well-balanced and happy human beings.
9. Spiritual Intelligence Questionnaire
Spiritual Intelligence can be seen as an extension of social and emotional intelligence. It is difficult to quantify but the following questionnaire is an attempt to assist us in getting in touch with others, the universe and ourselves. You as parents might want to compete this questionnaire as a starting point for exploring the issues surrounding the understanding of Spiritual Intelligence. Mark your score on a scale of 1-5 where 5 means you completely agree with the statement and 1 means you totally disagree. 1. My life has a sense of complete and positive purpose to it. 2. I feel a great connection to and often feel 'at one' with the universe and/or God. 3. I understand and have a deep knowledge of myself. I do what I say and express this in my being. 4. I am known for my playful, irrepressible and bubbling sense of humour and childlike (but not childish) view of the world. 5. I am deeply at peace with myself. 6. Other life forms generate in me a sense of awe, wonder, love and respect. 7. I achieve the right balance of appropriate caring for others. 8. I enjoy serving all people to the best of my ability and at every opportunity. 9. I am amazed at my capacity for wonder. Scoring 4's and 5's indicates a high SQ (spiritual quotient) Scoring 1's and 2's indicates a low SQ (spiritual quotient)
