Albert Einstein's IQ is estimated to be 160, Madonna is 140, and John F. kennedy only has 119, but it turns out that when predicting success and career achievement, the IQ score is eclipsed by the scores of emotional intelligence, moral commerce, and physical commerce.
IQ tests are used as indicators of logical reasoning and technical intelligence. Nowadays, high IQ is often a prerequisite for the rise to the top level of the business world. It is indeed necessary, but not enough to predict business management capabilities and business success. High IQ itself cannot guarantee that you will stand out and surpass others.
Carnegie Institute of Technology Research shows that 85% of a person's economic success is attributed to the "Personnel Management" skills, your personality and the ability to communicate, negotiate, and lead. Surprisingly, only 15% is attributed to technical knowledge. In addition, the Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman, an American Israeli psychologist, found that people prefer to do business with people they love and trust, rather than trade with people they do not like or trust, even if the product quality offered by people they prefer is lower or the service charge is higher.
With this in mind, you should invest in strengthening your emotional intelligence (Emotional Intelligence), moral business (moral intelligence), and physical business (physical intelligence), not just focusing on traditional IQ. These concepts may be elusive and hard to measure, but they are much more important than IQ.
EQ
Emotional Intelligence is the most well-known of the three types. In short, it is about perceiving the feelings of yourself and others and adjusting the feelings of yourself and others, use suitable feelings and self-motivated emotions to establish relationships.
Key points for improvement: first, start to understand your own internal conversations. It helps to record the thoughts you have experienced all day long. Stress may be a huge killer of emotional intelligence, so you also need to develop healthy coping skills to effectively and quickly reduce the pressure in turbulent situations.
Deshang
Morality and commerce keep up with emotional intelligence because it is about your integrity, honesty, responsibility, compassion, and generosity. How do you treat yourself and others treat you. Keeping promises, maintaining integrity, and being honest with others are the key to moral commerce.
Improvement points: make fewer excuses and take responsibility for your own actions. Avoid harmless small lies. Show sympathy and respect for others. Exercise to accept and tolerate the shortcomings of others. Forgiveness is not only about how we relate to others, but also about how you feel about yourself and yourself.
Body dealer
Finally, it is the body quotient, or the body intelligence, which reflects your understanding, feeling, and care for your body. The body is constantly sending messages to us. Do you listen to or ignore these signals? Does the food you eat every day provide calories or consume calories? Do you have enough rest? Do you exercise and take care of yourself? It seems that these problems have nothing to do with business performance, but your business will definitely affect your work, it determines your feelings, thoughts, self-confidence, mental status, and energy level to a large extent.
Improvement tips: Listen to your health information at least once a day. Actively monitor these signals, rather than letting yourself flow. Good nutrition, proper exercise, and adequate rest are all the key to having high-body businesses. Monitor your weight, moderate alcohol consumption, and make sure you have enough time to complete your work.
What is needed for success
It doesn't matter if you fail to receive the best academic training from top universities. Compared with those who have good education but are not enough in other aspects, those who have received less education but have fully developed their EQ, morality, and body businesses can be far more successful.
Indeed, it is a good thing to be a smart, rational thinker with a high IQ; this is an important asset. But you must realize that this is not enough. IQ can help you, but it will benefit everyone around you. Research shows that if you can grasp the complexity of these unique and often underestimated intelligence, you will achieve greater success and be considered more professional.
