Document from the year 2011 in the subject Psychology - Personality Psychology, language: English, abstract: Every human being is able to think, to feel and to believe. With these essential abilities we face, perceive and influence the world we live in. Though in varying degrees and at different developmental stages, mental intelligence (IQ), emotional intelligence (EQ) and spiritual intelligence (SQ) are inherent in all of us. The way we think, feel and believe result in the way we face and deal with our existence - a new intelligence is raising, an integrally emerging intelligence expressed in our actions, attitudes, our character and personality. Therefore, IQ + EQ + SQ = PsyQ - the psychospiritual intelligence. In this publication the authors show with an easy-to-read though scientific-based approach how to improve PsyQ with the help of the Trilogos-PsyQ(R)method - a method for personality training and consciousness development designed by Linda Vera Roethlisberger. Since this includes raising ethical awareness too, references are made how to foster a lived Global Ethic. For that purpose, an exercise known as guided imagery is presented in the second part of this book. The exercise is based on the so-called Trilogos-PsyQ(R)Method and its particular intention is to support the evolving of human potential (PsyQ), more specifically, of humanity, as referred to by the first principle of the Global Ethic "Every human must be treated humanly".

At the beginning of the twentieth century psychologists discovered ways and means to measure intelligence that developed into an obsession with IQ. In the mid 1990's, Daniel Goleman popularised research into emotional intelligence, EQ, pointing out that EQ is a basic requirement for the appropriate use of IQ. In this century, there is enough collective evidence from psychology, neurology, anthropology and cognitive science to show us that there is a third 'Q', 'SQ' or Spiritual Intelligence. SQ is uniquely human and, the authors argue, the most fundamental intelligence. SQ is what we use to develop our longing and capacity for meaning, vision and value. It allows us to dream and to strive. It underlies the things we believe in, and the role our beliefs and values play in the actions that we take and the way we shape our lives.

#1 BESTSELLER • The groundbreaking book that redefines what it means to be smart, with a new introduction by the author “A thoughtfully written, persuasive account explaining emotional intelligence and why it can be crucial.”—USA Today Everyone knows that high IQ is no guarantee of success, happiness, or virtue, but until Emotional Intelligence, we could only guess why. Daniel Goleman's brilliant report from the frontiers of psychology and neuroscience offers startling new insight into our “two minds”—the rational and the emotional—and how they together shape our destiny. Drawing on groundbreaking brain and behavioral research, Goleman shows the factors at work when people of high IQ flounder and those of modest IQ do surprisingly well. These factors, which include self-awareness, self-discipline, and empathy, add up to a different way of being smart—and they aren’t fixed at birth. Although shaped by childhood experiences, emotional intelligence can be nurtured and strengthened throughout our adulthood—with immediate benefits to our health, our relationships, and our work. The twenty-fifth-anniversary edition of Emotional Intelligence could not come at a better time—we spend so much of our time online, more and more jobs are becoming automated and digitized, and our children are picking up new technology faster than we ever imagined. With a new introduction from the author, the twenty-fifth-anniversary edition prepares readers, now more than ever, to reach their fullest potential and stand out from the pack with the help of EI.

It has been shown that emotional intelligence is just as important as IQ or standard intelligence. Recently it has been proven that people who have high emotional intelligence are more likely to score better jobs, have a more fulfilling social life, and their overall happiness is higher. This book dives into the difference between IQ and EQ, and how you can improve emotional intelligence. It is a step-by-step guide so you can maximize your improvement. Give yourself the opportunity to improve your emotional intelligence so that you can be your best self.

In this book, 34 renowned philosophical practitioners from 20 different countries present a variety of dialogue methods for philosophical practice, which have never before been published in such a compact and compiled form. By having Socrates and his method of maieutics (the art of midwifery of the soul, as he called it) as one of its main sources of inspiration, the book offers different methodological approaches in order to prompt people to wonder, to reflect, to change perspective, and to think differently; in short, to make people philosophize about life and the way they live it.

The concept and measurement of intelligence present a curious paradox. On the one hand, scientists, fluent in the complex statistics of intelligence-testing theories, devote their lives to exploration of cognitive abilities. On the other hand, the media, and inexpert, cross-disciplinary scientists decry the effort as socially divisive and useless in practice. In the past decade, our understanding of testing has radically changed. Better selected samples have extended evidence on the role of heredity and environment in intelligence. There is new evidence on biology and behavior. Advances in molecular genetics have enabled us to discover DMA markers which can identify and isolate a gene for simple genetic traits, paving the way for the study of multiple gene traits, such as intelligence. Hans Eysenck believes these recent developments approximate a general paradigm which could form the basis for future research. He explores the many special abilities--verbal, numerical, visuo-spatial memory--that contribute to our cognitive behavior. He examines pathbreaking work on "multiple" intelligence, and the notion of "social" or "practical" intelligence and considers whether these new ideas have any scientific meaning. Eysenck also includes a study of creativity and intuition--as well as the production of works of art and science--identifying special factors that interact with general intelligence to produce predictable effects in the actual world. The work that Hans Eysenck has put together over the last fifty years in research into individual differences constitutes most of what anyone means by the structure and biological basis of personality and intelligence. A giant in the field of psychology, Eysenck almost single-handedly restructured and reordered his profession. Intelligence is Eysenck's final book and the third in a series of his works from Transaction.

In this volume, an international group of prominent philosophical practitioners brings new methods, aims, problems and audiences to the practice of philosophy. The twelve chapters here exemplify how philosophers can fulfill their responsibility towards their communities, and, ultimately, towards civilization at large. This anthology will prove to be valuable not only to philosophers, both practical and theoretical, but also to professionals and students in education and the helping disciplines. Written in a clear and engaging style, it will be of interest to the general public as well.

We are always focusing on IQ or intelligence quotient rather than EQ or emotional quotient. But study shown that EQ is more important than IQ when it comes to success in the workplace and life in general. In this book, I will explain to you what is EQ, why it is important, and how to develop it. If you want to achieve a better result in your life or want to have a better emotion, learn about EQ by reading this book.

In this research report a philosophical practice project is presented which was carried out in 2019 at a Norwegian folk high school. Its main purpose was to examine whether and how philosophical guided imageries can foster self-formation. In the analysis of the empirical data three tendencies are identified: The participants felt calmer and safer due to this philosophical practice; they developed personally in terms of experiential learning; and several of them could also gain self-knowledge. The discussion then shows how these three tendencies relate and contribute to self-formation.

Going beyond IQ and EQ, there is now growing collective evidence that there is a third "Q" or "SQ"--Spiritual Intelligence. This handbook explores how accessing SQ to help us to live up to our potential for better, more satisfying lives.
