Prof. Dr. Farhan Essa Abdullah, CEO of Dr. Essa Laboratory and Diagnostic Centre and Past Governor of Rotary International District 3271 during a speech said, according to Psychologists, there are four types of Intelligence.
1) Intelligence Quotient (IQ)
2) Emotional Quotient (EQ)
3) Social Quotient (SQ)
4) Adversity Quotient (AQ)
Prof. Dr. Farhan Essa said Intelligence Quotient (IQ) is the measure of your level of comprehension. You need IQ to solve maths, memorize things, and recall lessons.
The Second Emotional Quotient (EQ): this is the measure of your ability to maintain peace with others, keep to time, be responsible, be honest, respect boundaries, be humble, genuine and considerate.
Prof. Dr. Farhan Essa said the third Social Quotient (SQ) is the measure of your ability to build a network of friends and maintain it over a long period.
He added People that who have higher EQ and SQ tend to go further in life than those with a high IQ but low EQ and SQ. Most schools capitalize on improving IQ levels while EQ and SQ are played down.
Further said, a man of high IQ can end up being employed by a man of high EQ and SQ even though he has an average IQ. Your EQ represents your Character, while your SQ represents your Charisma. Give in to habits that will improve these three Qs, especially your EQ, and SQ.
Adversity Quotient in this regards Prof. Dr. Farhan Essa said a 4th one, a new paradigm. AQ is a measure of your ability to go through a rough patch in life and come out of it without losing your mind.
When faced with troubles, AQ determines who will give up, who will abandon their family, and who will consider suicide.
He added parents please expose your children to other areas of life than just Academics. They should adore manual labor (never use work as a form of punishment), Sports, and Arts.
Develop their IQ, as well as their EQ, SQ, and AQ. They should become multifaceted human beings able to do things independently of their parents.
Finally, Prof. Dr. Farhan Essa advised the parents ‘do not to prepare the road for their children. Prepare your children for the road.’
