Hey everybody. This is N J Hare, the host of the NJ podcast. And this is transformational Tuesdays. This is parts of the everyday series where we get you to say like Jay Z, I'm not a businessman. I'm a businessman. Let me handle my business. Dang. And on today's episode, we are going to talk about IQ, eat you or GQ. Which is more important IQ, IQ, or GQ. They are a number of cushions that are used to measure intelligence. There are times that these can look in your favor or to your detriment, and you can be fairly or unfairly judged. Accordingly. There are over nine types of intelligence, but I'll briefly touch on three of them as you go out there to treat yourself as a business. And this is IQ IQ or GQ, but let's start with IQ. Stephen Hawkins says people who boast about their IQ are loses. IQ is short for intelligence quotient. This is a measure of a person's reasoning, ability and shorts. It is supposed to gauge how well someone can use information or logic to answer questions or make predictions, IQ test begin to assess this by measuring short and long-term memory. They also measure how well people can solve puzzles and recall information they've heard. And. Every student can learn no matter how intelligent, but some students struggle in school because of a weakness in one specific area of intelligence. These students often benefit from special education programs. There they get extra help in areas where they are struggling. Help teach us and examiners figure out which students would benefit from such extra help. And this, uh, quotient has been over-glorified in my opinion, let's talk about EEQ as much as 80% of success as an adult comes from ETQ emotional. Which is also known as emotional questions is the ability to understand use and manage your own emotions and positive ways to relieve stress. Communicates effectively empathize with others, overcome challenges and diffuse conflict. Emotional intelligence helps you to build stronger relationships, succeed at school and work and achieve your career and personal goals. It can also help you to connect with your feelings, turn intention into action and make informed decisions about what matters. Most to you, emotional intelligence is commonly defined by a couple of attributes. One self-management you're able to control and parcel feelings and behaviors, manage your emotions and hop the ways. Take initiative, follow through on commitments and adapt to changing circumstances to self-awareness you recognize your own emotions and how they affect your thoughts and behavior. You know, your strengths and weaknesses and have self. Three social awareness. You have empathy. You can't understand the emotions needs and concerns of other people pick up an emotional cues, feel comfortable socially and recognize the power dynamics in a group or organization for relationships management, you know how to develop and maintain good relationships. Communicate clearly inspire others and influence others rep while in the team and manage conflict. I feel UN. That emotional quotient is variable. In this world and is far more important than IQ. You can be the most intelligent person. However you wave, you don't know how to handle your emotions and interact with other people and conquer your own emotions. It's going to be a tough ride. Warren buffet said, if you cannot manage your emotions, do not expect to manage money. But there's another question out there that's more far more important than IQ or each year in my book. And that is GQ. Angela Duckworth said grit is sticking with your future day in and day out, not just for a week or a month, but for years, GG has nothing to do with looking good locate or suave as a magazine by the same name suggests, this is what I call the grit. The grit questions. This refers to how much pain, adversity, and Fairless that you can go through without quitting grit is a positive non-cognitive trait that is based on an individual's passion for a particular long term goal, coupled with a powerful motivation to achieve their goals. Perseverance promotes triumph over obstacles or challenge that challenges that lie within a gritty individual's path to accomplishments and serves as a driving force to achieve this trades is highly important as there are many dangers toils and snares that can derail you in this world. Success demands, grit. The Pope in an attempt to discredit the painter Michelangelo commissioned work outside the artist, speciality painting the I took much grit, but in four years he produced work that is admired to this day by hundreds of thousands of people with grit. Even if you are not smart, you will keep working until you become smart with grit. Even if you don't have the resources available to you, you will make a way because of your grades. You will get the context, the education, the help, the funding, or whatever it is that you need, because you have a high level of grit. Many people have gone to Harvard, but they are not gritty enough to build a Tesla or a spaces. I would prefer to be a person of high. Grit and low IQ IQ, because with GQ, you can make up for the risks. There isn't a skill that you couldn't learn. There isn't a class that you couldn't take, or there isn't a goal you couldn't reach because you will have this one thing on your side and that is called grit. So which one will you choose to have IQ IQ or GQ? Hope that you enjoy this episode of transformational Tuesdays, where we talked about IQ EEQ or GQ. I believe that grit quotient is far more important than IQ or EEQ because with grit there isn't anything that you cannot say. If you enjoy this episode, please like share comment and subscribe.
