High I.Q = smart ?

Hi,

IQ measures your ability to retain and process knowledge therefore it does measure in those terms how smart you are. But scientists have found that Emotional Intelligence is more important for getting along in life. This type of intelligence is an indication of how well you get on with people so that you are able to get things done.

We often find that those who did best in school did not turn out to be the most successful while those who were merely average did better in life.

I think that someone with a high IQ definitely has a certain type of intelligence, but I think that there are many very intelligent people who do not have a particularly high IQ score... it is just a different kind of intelligence.  I hope this helps.  Another comparison is with the SAT's.  There is an IQ and SAT comparison that has been used to test George W. Bush's intelligence, for example.  However, there are many people that just do not test well. 

hi gideon12, in general yes. a person with a high I.Q. tends to be good problem or quiz solvers. yet this does not mean that they can interact well with others or may be able to see relationship, business issues clearly in a social dynamic. one will need good E.Q. for that. to be the best, one should develop good I.Q. and E.Q. consistently. you can develop that potential too.
