Dear MEL Topic Readers,

Is AQ more important than intelligence?

Intelligence quotient, better known as IQ, is a measure of cognitive intelligence. It is basically one’s ability of various kinds of intelligence such as the brain, reasoning, planning, problem-solving, abstract thinking, understanding ideas, language skills, and learning. A person with a high IQ may perform well in the academic area but is not always successful in business or politics. For most jobs, the IQ level of employees or job candidates isn’t that critical compared to the ones of the academic or science field.

Emotional Intelligence, or EQ, is one’s capability to recognize the emotion of theirs and others. A person with a high EQ can manage and adjust emotions to adapt to the environment or perform the tasks. Sounds like a critical qualification to work with others and in an organization, doesn’t it?

AQ stands for adversity quotient. It is a score to show the ability to deal with adversities in one’s life, as to how fast and well the person can recover from difficulties and challenges and return to their original status. It seems essential to deal with today’s and tomorrow’s fast-changing environment.

As the algorithm, AI, and robotics take more roles that humans have enjoyed and occupied, qualifications for both present and future jobs are changing. What if half of your job was going to be performed by machines next month? You want to acquire skills that AI or robots can’t perform or aren’t good at doing. You also want to able to communicate and work with others to use collective ingenuity to solve new problems and challenges. If you stick with your old skills and glorious experience and aren’t trying to adapt to new realities, you are unlikely to succeed in the new environment.

Enjoy reading and learn the value of IQ, EQ, and AQ.
