Background information
EQ,The expression,emotional intelligence” is
used to indicate a kind of intelligence that
involves the ability to perceive,assess and
positively influence one's own and other
people's emotions,Intelligence is the,ability to
adapt effectively to the environment,either by
making a change in oneself or by changing the
environment or finding a new one”,According
to this definition,being intelligent entails much
more than having strong cognitive abilities —
the kind of abilities that are typically measured
by an intelligence test,
To address some of the further abilities
possessed by intelligent people,Elliot
Solloway coined the term emotional
intelligence,He considered that being able to
direct one's emotions,as well as being able to
understand and influence other people's
emotional responses,went a long way
towards effective adaptation to an
environment,The term was picked up in 1995
by Daniel Goleman in his best-seller book of
the same title,Emotional Intelligence (cf,the
relevant background information below),
Daniel Goleman,A psychologist who for
many years reported on the brain and
behavioral sciences for The New York Times,
Dr,Goleman previously was a visiting
faculty member at Harvard,Dr,Goleman's
1995 book,Emotional Intelligence (Bantam
Books),argues that human competencies like
self-awareness,self-discipline,persistence
and empathy are of greater consequence
than IQ in much of life,that we ignore the
decline in these competencies at our peril,
and that children can — and should — be
taught these abilities,
IQ,IQ is an abbreviation for,intelligence
quotient”,a measure of a person's
intellectual ability in relation to that of the
rest of the population,It is expressed as
the ratio of mental age to actual age,
multiplied by 100,and is based on the
scores achieved in an intelligence test,The
two most important scales for measuring
IQ are the Standford-Binet test and the
Weschler test,The distribution of IQ
scores is more-or-less Gaussian,that is to
say that it follows the bell curve.
Modern ability tests produce scores for
different areas (e.g,language fluency,three-
dimensional thinking,etc.),with the summary
score being the most meaningless,It is much
more useful to know which are the strengths
and weaknesses of a person than to know that
he or she beats n percent of the populace in
some,general intelligence” measure,Two
persons with vastly different ability profiles
may score the same IQ,but may exhibit
different affinity to a given task,or may not be
valued equally intelligent by other people.
IQ scores are sometimes taken as an
objective measure of intelligence,and since
intelligence is notoriously difficult to define,
the definition,intelligence is what the IQ
test measures” has been seriously proposed,
However,IQ tests encode their creator?s
beliefs about what constitutes intelligence,
What various cultures dub,intelligence”
differs,Most people also think that
creativity plays a significant role in
intelligence; creativity is almost
unmeasurable by tests.
The modern field of intelligence testing
began with the Stanford-Binet test,It is
worth noting that Alfred Binet,who
created the IQ test in 1904,was aiming to
identify students who could benefit from
extra help in school,his assumption was
that lower IQ indicated the need for more
teaching,not an inability to learn,The
following numbers apply to IQ scales,
Scores between 90 and 110 are considered
average — so a person scoring 95 is simply
average,not below-average,
For children scoring below 80 special
schooling is encouraged,children above
125 are,highly gifted”,In previous years,
scores below 90 were divided into ranges
labeled moron,imbecile and idiot,while
scores above 150 were labeled genius,
Some writers say that such scores outside
the range 55 to 145 are essentially
meaningless because there are not enough
people to make statistically sound
statements.
