EQ and SQ Verses IQ: Emphasizing human holistic development in education

Think about how you can share your thoughts, feelings, patience with a friend or a person you know. Are they the people you can always turn to for your problems because even if they can't really solve them, they at least make you better, more optimistic and helpful? These are people who know what to say in any situation without hurting anyone's feelings? They will not judge you and normalize you. They have the power to calm our minds. What about that other person? Why don't they rush to your list?

Yes, these people are people with high emotional intelligence and high emotional quotient (EQ). They have the ability to understand, express, and manage their own emotions and emotions, as well as to understand and engage with the emotions of others.

Let's see how that really matters? In the workplace you meet high performing staff and managers but they lack subordinate and college relationships and bonds. A perfectly good IQ and academically high staff but not a close leader or say boss instead.

It all starts early, which does not take into account the needs of others before the child's personal preferences; adolescents' adolescence or childbirth and behavioural problems are all part of the less emotional sum. Ability to empathize, control emotions, communicate effectively, make thoughtful decisions, solve problems, and work with others is never less than having friends and having success. They had a happy life with a more fulfilling relationship. At work, they are more productive and productive than others too.

The question is, is your education system focused on developing EQ and SQ or does it still have an IQ base? Psychologist Daniel Goleman estimates that IQ is the only 20 percent factor in determining life success, while balancing other strengths such as EQ, wealth, temperament, family education level, and pure luck. This means that cognitive skills - verbal comprehension, memory, reasoning and processing speed - will help academically but they will get only one person in life.

A 2-year-old girl comes to me slowly with candy of her choice, as she realizes I'm awkward and crying. This is an example of the fact that we are all born with EQ, but as we grow and embrace life and experience, we begin to diminish. In that case, if the school provided us with a way to balance our emotions, logically experience others, put on shoes and show love and compassion to others, I think we would have been at peace with ourselves and with others if we were good adults and men. In General it is not only the mind but also the learning of the heart that matters.

The person who develops intelligence has the ability to receive, process, and analyze information. They are able to think in an abstract way and also learn important lessons from experience. However, research has shown that intelligence is not enough? The smartest people in the world are not always successful and happy. Notably, they are not world changing people (though some of them are). Psychologists and neuroscientists are increasingly talking about the need for Emotional Quotient (EQ). According to them, EQ is the basic requirement for successful use of IQ. People with high EQ are able to effectively manage their emotions and communicate at the same time and successfully interact with others.

SQ is very difficult to define. SQ is about questions rather than answers. These are the values ​​of courage, integrity, intuition, compassion, empathy and knowing the limits of our knowledge in the elements of story, poetry, metaphor, uncertainty and contradiction. SQ can also mean unlearning what others have taught you; Questioning life's problems thinking side by side or out of the box; Viewing situations and problems differently; To know more about all the possibilities.
