Which is more important? Intelligence Quotient (IQ)? or Emotional Quotient (EQ)?

Emotional intelligence (EQ) might be a greater predictor of success than Intellectual intelligence (IQ), despite an assumption people with high IQs will naturally accomplish more in life.\n\nEmotional intelligence is a person's ability to understand their own emotions and those of others, and to act appropriately using these emotions.

Everything else being equal, someone with high emotional intelligence will probably be more successful.\n\nHere's an interesting bit from the Utne Reader:\n\n"Emotional intelligence gives you a competitive edge. Even at Bell Labs, where everyone is smart, studies find that the most valued and productive engineers are those with the traits of emotional intelligence -- not necessarily the highest IQ. Having great intellectual abilities may make you a superb fiscal analyst or legal scholar, but a highly developed emotional intelligence will make you a candidate for CEO or a brilliant trial lawyer."\n\nIt makes sense. If you are going to be successful, you have to be able to motivate people or convince people to get behind your idea. That's hard to do if you cannot connect with people and have weak social skills.\n\nCheck out the link below to take the EQ test:\n\nhttp://www.utne.com/interact/test_iq.html

This is a moot argument. There is no way possible to determine the average IQ of either group. It is a moving target there are always people switching between parties. There is probably no measurable difference.\n\nAs for an earlier comment about graduate students being liberals. That may be true for liberal arts students, but engineering, sciences, and business majors are by and large conservative. Also once people graduate and are out in the real world for a few years they tend to become conservative. My wife and I both have post graduate degrees and so do our sons. We are all conservative.

iq score is subjective at best\nu can get a test at many places\nbut the number does not mean much\nhow much value does knowing square:circle:triangle is to left:right:back and cow:pig:horse is to ???\nin everyday life\ni am willing to bet the highest iq people cannot grow a garden, fix a flat tire, or repair plumbing without help

It doesn't matter what grade you're in or how old you are. An IQ test does not determine your level of intelligence. It measures how easily you learn. Your IQ, if tested properly, should stay the same throughout your life. Oh, and a 126 is above average.

It depends on what you call intelligence, and the environmental influences involved. If you have taken the tests before, you are more likely to do better--this doesnt necessarily mean you have gotten smarter. Also, a person might score really well on the test, but the test doesnt measure common sense or emotional maturity, which many could consider to be factors of intelligence also.

An intelligence quotient or IQ is a number derived from a set of standardized tests developed to measure a person's cognitive abilities ("intelligence") in relation to their age group. An IQ test does not measure intelligence the way a ruler measures height (absolutely), but rather the way a race measures speed (relatively); IQ is described as a "quotient" because, originally, it represented the ratio between a person's "mental age" and actual chronological age.\n\nIts not based on a formula,but on what answer you provide for each question

An IQ rating is as good as the test measures.\nIntelligence is not so easily defined.\nI think all men are created with the same brain functions.\nTherefore the capacity has great potential. Most people do not realize the fantastic capacity that their brain have.\nHow the brain is used depend onthe person's culture and motivations.\nOn that note ,I believe that all humans (unless brain )damaged ) all have the same ability to use it.\n\nA President knowledge and inteligence  is as good as what his advisors give him.\n\nSome dont take advise and some are foolish.\n\nSo the intelligence of a President is Advisor dependent.\n\nWe cannot judge which country has a better inteligent President.It a cultural Preference. What is considered stupid by One is considered Inteligent by the Other!

I.Q. is not what you have to worry about. Worry more about E.Q they will explain you more what makes a good I.Q.\nVisit the following website:\nhttp://www.eintel.org\n\nThe EQ Factor\nNew brain research suggests that emotions, not IQ, may be the true measure of human intelligence\n\nBY NANCY GIBBS \nIt turns out that a scientist can see the future by watching four-year-olds interact with a marshmallow. The researcher invites the children, one by one, into a plain room and begins the gentle torment. You can have this marshmallow right now, he says. But if you wait while I run an errand, you can have two marshmallows when I get back. And then he leaves.\nSome children grab for the treat the minute he's out the door. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait. They cover their eyes; they put their heads down; they sing to themselves; they try to play games or even fall asleep. When the researcher returns, he gives these children their hard-earned marshmallows. And then, science waits for them to grow up.\nBy the time the children reach high school, something remarkable has happened. A survey of the children's parents and teachers found that those who as four-year-olds had the fortitude to hold out for the second marshmallow generally grew up to be better adjusted, more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable teenagers. The children who gave in to temptation early on were more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated and stubborn. They buckled under stress and shied away from challenges. And when some of the students in the two groups took the Scholastic Aptitude Test, the kids who had held out longer scored an average of 210 points higher.\nWhen we think of brilliance we see Einstein, deep-eyed, woolly haired, a thinking machine with skin and mismatched socks. High achievers, we imagine, were wired for greatness from birth. But then you have to wonder why, over time, natural talent seems to ignite in some people and dim in others. This is where the marshmallows come in. It seems that the ability to delay gratification is a master skill, a triumph of the reasoning brain over the impulsive one. It is a sign, in short, of emotional intelligence. And it doesn't show up on an IQ test.\nFor most of this century, scientists have worshipped the hardware of the brain and the software of the mind; the messy powers of the heart were left to the poets. But cognitive theory could simply not explain the questions we wonder about most: why some people just seem to have a gift for living well; why the smartest kid in the class will probably not end up the richest; why we like some people virtually on sight and distrust others; why some people remain buoyant in the face of troubles that would sink a less resilient soul. What qualities of the mind or spirit, in short, determine who succeeds?\nThe phrase "emotional intelligence" was coined by Yale psychologist Peter Salovey and the University of New Hampshire's John Mayer five years ago to describe qualities like understanding one's own feelings, empathy for the feelings of others and "the regulation of emotion in a way that enhances living." Their notion is about to bound into the national conversation, handily shortened to EQ, thanks to a new book, Emotional Intelligence (Bantam; $23.95) by Daniel Goleman. Goleman, a Harvard psychology Ph.D. and a New York Times science writer with a gift for making even the chewiest scientific theories digestible to lay readers, has brought together a decade's worth of behavioral research into how the mind processes feelings. His goal, he announces on the cover, is to redefine what it means to be smart. His thesis: when it comes to predicting people's success, brainpower as measured by IQ and standardized achievement tests may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as "character" before the word began to sound quaint

My earlier response (when you asked this question before) indicated that different IQ tests have different scales of measurement.\n\nSo if you know someone with an IQ of 228 and you want to know what that means, you need to find out what instrument was used to give them that number.  Then find out what percentile that puts them in.  Or--perhaps simpler--ask them what percentile their IQ is in, rather than what their "score" is.\n\nThe only time I had an "official" IQ test done, my score was around 140.  But my score was also the highest possible on that (widely respected and widely used) test, placing me in the top 1%.  A score of 228 must have been given by a different testing instrument, and you need more information before you know anything about what it means.

I.Q.  stands for intelligence quotient, a number that is a measurement of a person's ability to learn and retain knowledge, not the amount of knowledge they retain.  Most experts agree that there are a number of variables that can help determine a person's IQ including genetics, disease, and nutrition during early formative years of the brain (up to years age 3-5).  It is also believe by many that the amount and type of intellectual activity during these years affects a child's potential to learn and adult IQ.  Finally as a child and as a adult  learning ability is often effected by health, disease, and psychological dysfunction, such as chronic fatigue, ADHD, and Alzheimer's.   These are generally viewed as inhibiting factors lowering a person's ability to fulfill their potential, rather than a lack of potential.\n\nIn closing depending on your personal point of view, of gain vs released potential, raising an individuals IQ is or is not possible.  During developmental years it can be released or raised up to a person's genetic limitation, and during later years correcting issues with ones health may result in a "increase". in ones ability to learn.  However a person that is not suffer from some debilitation (however mild) should not expect to raise their IQ.

Yes.  It should be a combination of the three, and my girlfriend is.  Looks are important, because I like a girl who takes care of her appearance.  Intelligence: I dont want to have to talk down to someone all the time.  Personality:  I like a person who's interesting and wants to go out and laugh, and play, and have a good time with me.

I personally prefer that so-called IQ isn't important. Almost every of us has 7 different intelligent centers or more.If u r weak in one thing.(JUST SUPPORTED),u'll gift in another thing.

INTELLECTUAL RATHER THAN EMOTIONAL

Emotional Intelligence deals with total body, mind and heart, but intellectual intelligence deals only with brain.

I think both go hand in hand. You need both. If you had emotion but no logic, you'd just be an emotional idiot. If you had logic, but no emotion, you'd be a robot.

Autistic children would benefit from learning about Emotional Intelligence as their main problem is poor interpersonal skills and the ability to read body and voice clues.\n\nThere is a brilliant programme available in the UK designed for this it is available through an organisation called "Heads, Teachers and Industry" who are  an education and training based charity basedin Coventry.  It is available at a small cost as the price is subsididsed by the UK government.
