For a long time, Intelligent Quotient

(IQ) has enjoyed the reputation of


being the true and only measure of an
individual's intelligence. However, in
the early 90s another aspect of
intelligence, Emotional Quotient
(EQ) was discovered. Since it was
found that an individual's emotional
state has a direct bearing on his ability
to use IQ effectively, EQ was deemed
higher than IQ.
Now, researchers claim to have found
the ultimate aspect of human
intelligence- Spiritual Quotient (SQ)

IQ primarily solves logical problems.

EQ helps us to manage emotions


appropriately.
SQ enables us to ask and seek
answers to fundamental
questions.

For example, say you are trying to climb


a wall. You may want to consider the
height of ladder, the angle of inclination
and so on; the aspects that deal with how
to get the job done constitute your IQ.
EQ is required to manage your emotional
state like fear, impatience etc. while you
climb the ladder.
You may use IQ & EQ and finally manage
to climb the wall. What if, on reaching the
top, you realize that with great difficulty,
you have climbed the wrong wall.
SQ - our ultimate intelligence, involve
asking fundamental questions: "which
wall to climb?" or, "why do I want to climb

Researchers now claim that there is


enough evidence to prove that a
strong IQ and EQ are by themselves
insufficient for success in our life's
pursuits. A good SQ is important for
effective use of both IQ and EQ.

Briefing the Context

Intelligent Quotient
I want to be rich like Ambani.
I want to be famous like Sachin.
I want to be successful.
I want to be happy.
I want! I want!!
How do we fulfill all these wants? Or more
appropriately: What will make us in
achieving these desires compared to
others?
The first requirement that strikes us is
"Intelligence".
Intelligence is: doing right thing, at the
right time at the right place.

Importance of IQ
IQ is often blindly accepted
as the only measure of
intelligence. People with
higher IQs outwardly may
have a higher level of
education, may have bigger
incomes, may do better at
their jobs, may have lower
crime rates. However it
should be noted that IQ is
designed to be independent

Statistical variation of IQ
95% of people have Intelligence
Quotient scores between 90 and
110.
2.5% of people are very superior in
intelligence (over 130)
2.5% of people are mentally
deficient/ impaired/ retarded (under
70)
0.0005% of people are near genius
(over 140) or completely retarded

Emotional Quotient
In the mid 1990's, research done by many
neuroscientists and psychologists showed
that EQ is a basic requirement for the
effective use of IQ.
Research done by tracking over 160 high
performing individuals in a variety of
industries and job levels revealed that
Emotional Intelligence was two times
more important in contributing to
excellence than intellect and expertise

What is emotional intelligence?


Emotional intelligence described as
person's ability to understand his or her
emotions and the emotions of others and to
act appropriately based on his
understanding.
Emotional Intelligence (EI), often
measured as Emotional Quotient (EQ),
describes a concept that involves the skill,
capacity, a self-perceived ability, to identify,
assess and manage the emotions of one's
self, of others, and of groups.
In simple words, it is "the ability to monitor
one's own and others feelings and emotions,

Need for Emotional Quotient


Emotions have the potential to get in the
way of our most important business and
personal relationship.
Because of furious pace of change in
business today, difficulty in managing
relationships sabotage more business than
anything else - it is not a question of
strategy that gets us into trouble; it is a
question of emotions!!
Studies show that: with a positive,
optimistic attitude a person with an IQ of

Can EQ be developed?
YES. You can develop your EQ by upgrading
your emotional skills. The popular thinking
that EQ is entirely inherited is incorrect.
Emotional Intelligence is not fixed at birth.
There is no emotional intelligence genes as
such that we know of today. It is something
one has learned.

Can EQ be developed at any


stage/age of personal or
YES. You canprofessional
upgrade your emotional
skills at
life?
any stage of your life. In fact, age and
maturity are positively correlated with the EI.

Moving towards the best- SQ


The last and most important quotient, SQ,
is the one that differentiates us from
animals. Dogs and cats also possess
reasoning power (IQ), Suppose a dog
comes up to you and if you say "Hutt!", the
dog will understand that you don't want
him, proving the dog has some reasoning
power.
Also dogs have emotions (EQ) such as
anger (Barking & biting), friendliness
(wagging 0f tail). They also understand

What SQ is?
"SQ is the intelligence with which we ask
fundamental questions and with which we
reframe our answers."
It is the adaptive use of spiritual information
to facilitate everyday problem solving and
goal attainment.

For Success, Happiness and


Peace
IQ is important, EQ is more
important
And SQ is most important
