...Lloyd 1 Strider Lloyd Dr. Natoli PPD 545 February 23, 2016 Word Count: 1857 EQ + PQ > IQ Currently, the study of human behavior in public organizations is shifting in focus away from the traditional intelligence quotient (IQ), towards the more progressive combination of the emotional quotient (EQ) and passion quotient (PQ) (Ted Talks Psychology, 2013). Although the traditional argument that the IQ of an organization is the most important factor in organizational success, is compelling, contemporary thought posits that EQ and PQ, in combination, are better for evaluating success than IQ. This developing context will be used to support the argument that leadership in public organizations is an interactive phenomenon; it results from the interdependent relationship between self-identity, sensemaking, and ultimately decisionmaking—all of which work in congruence to define the organization culture, form attitudes, direct behavior, and determine the organization’s level of success. In order to elaborate on the interactive phenomenon that argues that the emotional quotient (EQ), plus the passion quotient (PQ), are greater—or have more causative value—than the intelligence quotient (IQ). First, in terms of definitions, the EQ is a way to measure how a person identifies emotions within himself or herself and others, and manages these emotional states to work more efficiently and effectively within an organization (Ben-Zeʼev, 2000, pp. 166167). Next, the PQ, as described...

...Emotional Intelligence Abstract Intelligence has been studied for a very long time and the more research is conducted newer concepts of intelligence continue to evolve and show that it is more than just being smart. Howard Gardner in 1983 came up with the concept of multiple intelligences and today personal career success requires not only academic intelligence but also a higher level of emotional intelligence. This paper compares both academic intelligence to emotional intelligence and further reviews literature on the importance of emotional intelligence and relates it to career success. The basic concepts behind academic intelligence, emotional intelligence, how its valuable and why it should be valuable to learn are discussed with the aid of three published articles that elaborate on its necessity for success. Keywords: Academic intelligence, emotional intelligence, career, success Emotional Intelligence: The New Measure of Success Each individual uses a unique set of cognitive skills when processing complex information. Intelligence is a very old concept and while intelligence has been the most consistent factor in determining career success, its definition now includes emotional intelligence. It was Howard Gardner, who came up with the concept of multiple intelligences that encompass several capabilities such as reasoning, planning, solving problems, comprehending, learning, etc (1983).

...Research Paper Alfred Binet The College of the Bahamas September 13th, 2012 Alfred Binet, was born in Nice, France on July 11th 1957. His mother was an artist and his father a physician. Today. He has became a well-known psychologist in history. Alfred Binet's most important accomplishment was getting other psychologists interested in the normal human mind and what it's capable of. Other psychologists during that time-period were far more interested in the mind of the mentally handicapped and brain sizes. After his parent's divorce, He later moved to Paris with his mother. He received his tertiary education at Lycee Louis -le-Grand. He graduated from law school in 1878, Alfred Binet had first planned to follow his father’s footsteps in the medical field and so he enrolled in medical school. Alfred Binet decided to become a lawyer even though he was not satisfied with his choice. After studying science at Sorbonne, he became literate in psychology by reading works by individuals such as Charles Darwin and John Stuart Mills. Immediately afterwards, he began working at the Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris under the guidance of John-Martin Charcot. Later he moved to a position at the Laboratory of Experimental Psychology where he was the associate director and researcher. In 1894, he was then made director of the laboratory. He related with the associationism theory suggested by J.S. Mills. In 1884, He met and married Laure Balbiani. They produced two daughters-...

...Book Report 30 October 2015 Daniel Goleman's “Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ” (1995) Emotional Intelligence, or its shorthand EQ, is a relatively recent behavioral model which rose to its prominence when in 1995 Daniel Goleman published his book Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ published (Goleman 2004). Undoubtedly, emotional aspect and social abilities play their role in contributing to person’s individual success. In addition, EQ is significant to organizational development as well as developing people’s corporate success. EQ is strongly influenced by personal qualities among which are major elements such as perseverance, self-awareness, communication skills, self-control, motivation and number of other personal abilities (Deleon 2015). The term “emotional intelligence” was originally coined by two psychologists John Mayer and Peter Salovey in 1990, however, it was Daniel Goleman who brought this concept to a wide business audience and further popularized it with his 1998 Harvard Business Review article (Goleman 2004). There is number of articles in the academic literature that connects emotional intelligence to high performing organizations that produce better business results. In other words, business environments that have employees with high EQ who are capable of working in teams and who have strong emotional skills mentioned earlier in this paper are more likely to achieve organizational success and stay self-sufficient...

...t Ra All About Race – Checkpoint: Tracee Sigler According to the textbook there is not clear and scientific way to classify races because the genetic pool has been diluted from years past. IQ is the short name for the Intelligence Quotient. This is the ratio of a person’s mental age calculated by a test that is geared toward his or her age and multiplied by 100. From what the textbook states the issues of culture between Blacks and Whites in reference to IQ testing is biased and remains an unresolved concern. This test has been biased in stating that on average Whites has a higher IQ than Blacks. This is eliminated when looking and applying a curve within social and economical factors or rather characteristics. Race is a social construction that presumes benefits for the people who are oppressing minority groups or rather the privileged and those who are not privileged. It only supports the dominant race or races. Again, according to the textbook, racism is a doctrine that one race is more superior to the other. I am and have been a constant victim of racism. I moved to Oregon several years ago and had to fight for my own personal freedoms. I was constantly stopped by police and everywhere I looked there were police officers following me and my family. I organized a chapter of the NAACP in the community where I lived. The locals were highly offended by this. They were of the dominate race, White. After organizing this group and getting laws passed for...

...IQ OR EQ? 1 It was long believed that having high IQ (intelligence quotient) is the most influential determiner of achievement in life, especially in business life. Yet it has been recently discussed other factors like EQ (emotional quotient) seems to be more effective in work places. IQ tests measure a person's cognitive ability compared to the population at large. While IQ tests can be quite predictive of general intelligence, it's important to remember that they don't purport to tell the whole story of a person's abilities. 2 IQ claims to measure pure brainpower while EQ embraces a lot more important factors such as sociability, optimism and empathy that have gained significance in workplaces since 1990s. “If you are lucky, your looks, the right contacts and a presentable set of qualifications might get you on the first step of the career ladder. However, it’s some other qualifications that will lift you to the top. Your EQ is the level of your ability to understand others, what motivates them and how to work cooperatively with others.”, says Daniel Goleman in his book Emotional Intelligence, which became a best seller in just two weeks after being published in 1999. 3 According to Howard Gardner, a researcher on EQ, EQ embraces two aspects of intelligence: understanding yourself and others. He also identified five domains of emotional intelligence skills. The first two are self-awareness and self-regulation. Although these two terms are often confused, they...

...Definition of Intelligence Intelligence can be defined in a variety of ways depending on one’s viewpoint or position. Defining this science is not confined to particular skill or test but can be identified through various approaches, models, or skill sets. In responding to a widely accepted fact that “only 50% of the population will have an IQ of average or above”, one must first briefly understand the origins of intelligence. There has been a debate among researchers and psychologists of whether intelligence is a unitary phenomenon or consists of various s skills and abilities. The two primary views of intelligence, global ability and specific talents, can be used to categorize individuals, as it relates to this science. Global consists of one’s ability to reason and acquire knowledge that manifests itself in a variety of ways, such as memorizing a long poem or solving a maze. Specific talent defines one’s ability to some areas but not in others. For example, a person may be able to compose a sonata but unable to solve a verbal reasoning problem. (Bukato, Daehler 2004 p.348) In order to further understand intelligence one must have a foundation for the various models’ and theories that are widely accepted and used to measure this field. One of the methods for understanding intelligence is the psychometric model (Binet-Simon 1905), which is based on testing large groups of individuals to quantify differences in abilities. The basic assumption with...

... History of Intellectual Assessments What is intelligence? How can we discover how intelligent we are or even where intelligence comes from? The assessment of intelligence started a long time ago in the BC era and as time progressed developed into so much more with intelligence testing. Intelligence tests are test designed to measure the ability to think and reason rather than acquired knowledge. “Intelligence involves the ability to think, solve problems, analyze situations, and understand social values, customs, and norms” (Logston, YYYY). Although the different psychologist had different points of views about how to measure intelligence, they all made an impact on intelligence testing in their time period. In this paper we will discuss the men that discovered what kind of test could be used in testing intelligence, who they are, and more about what intelligence is. We will discuss the history of intellectual assessment. We will also discuss how intellectual functioning can have an impact on your personal success. Some of the key figures in intellectual assessment will be discussed in this such as Jene Piaget, David Wechsler, Lewis Terman, and Alfred Binet. Key People in Intellectual Assessments As we begin speaking about the key people in intellectual assessments we ask that you take note in the combination of them all! With the study of only one of these men and their research we wouldn’t fully understand what intelligence is or how it works and builds throughout the stages...

...of 12 to 17 year olds are now online. That is a lot of exposure to information, and at the same time misinformation to an easily impressional demographic. So it begs the question, are children smarter because of the internet? So how do we define what “smarter” actually means? Smarter can mean many different things to different people. Smart is often defined as the general mental ability to learn and apply knowledge to manipulate your environment. But other definitions include the ability to evaluate and judge, the ability to comprehend complex ideas, the capacity for original and productive thought, the ability to learn quickly and learn from experience, and even the ability to comprehend relationships. Intelligence or smarts are measured by an Intelligence Quotient or IQ test, which has shown increases in IQ from generation to generation. The Flynn effect is research that was conducted by James Flynn, who discovered that IQ scores increased from one generation to the next for all countries in which the data has existed. His research has shown that countries have seen generational increases between 5 and 25 points. A potential cause of IQ gains may be that the level of education has increased. People are spending larger amount of time learning and being examined in formal education. While others may argue that IQ gains are caused by societal changes. The parent goals are to protect, educate, and set their children up for success. Parents strive to want nothing but the...

...Problems with IQ and Psychometric Assessment When diagnosing a child’s learning difficulties the IQ test and other forms of Psychometric Assessment continue to be used across the UK and elsewhere as an indication of a child's ‘intelligence’ and continue to be a key factor in special school placement. Colin Newton Inclusive Educational Psychologist Co Founder Inclusive Solutions December 2009 We have to provide an IQ score so that the CAHMS team can allocate their resources. They keep asking us.... (Principal Educational Psychologist - 2008- Unnamed UK Local Authority) How sad that what follows still needs to be written in 2008! Perhaps we all need a little reminder... The story so far... Intelligence testing began in earnest in France, when in 1904 psychologist Alfred Binet was commissioned by the French government to find a method to differentiate between children who were ‘intellectually normal and those who were inferior’. The purpose was to put the latter into special schools where they would receive more individual attention. In this way the disruption they caused in the education of intellectually normal children could be avoided. Sound a familiar argument? Such thinking was a natural development from Darwinism and the Eugenics movement that dates back to Sir Francis Galton in 1869 that famous scientific polymath who promoted the idea that for society to prosper the ‘weakest’ should not be allowed...
