Why do people with high IQs not always succeed?
Illustrative Example of EQ and IQ
Suppose you are brilliant in a particular domain of study.
Or suppose you happen to have a great idea for a project (or both).
What kinds of emotional and cognitive intelligence are needed to see the project through to completion?
“All I Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten”
Four of the five skills educators (NRC, 2000) emphasize for school readiness are socio-emotional:
- mastery of educational building blocks
- motivation to succeed in school
- ability to get along & make friends
- ability to function in a group
- capacity to manage emotions
Childhood studies find both genetic and environmental components of EQ (temperament, social competence) and IQ.
Emotional, social and cognitive processes constantly influence each other during development.
It’s not either/or but both: the marshmallow study (Shoda, Mischel & Peake, 1990) found both impulse control & verbal ability contributed to later SAT and grades.
Lifespan Development: Roots in Childhood
Lifespan Development: Moving into adulthood
Adolescence & early adulthood – frontal lobe maturation: emotional vs. rational reasoning (emotions are a two-edged sword).
Middle to later adulthood: what are the components of wisdom?
In Essence
Being intelligent about emotions means that we can perceive and use emotions to create optimal relationships and produce desired outcomes.
