The intelligence which you used to answer above questions is measured with IQ, "intelligence quotient”.
The IQ is a measurement of intelligence and is expressed in a number. A high IQ score will mean higher
reasoning and problem-solving abilities. The intelligence quotient measures working memory, arithmetic
ability and processing speed.
Some of us are born more cognitively intelligent than others. 50-80% of the IQ score is due
to genetics. Remaining part of IQ is linked to the environment where nutrition, education, and health
care play a big role.

IQ is just one measure of our abilities and there are many other kinds of intelligence in addition to
intellect. One important type of intelligence is emotional intelligence.
Emotional intelligence (emotional quotient or EQ) is the ability to understand, use, and manage your
own emotions in positive ways to relieve stress, communicate effectively, empathize with others and
overcome challenges. Emotional intelligence helps you build stronger relationships, succeed at school
and work, and achieve your career and personal goals.

Emotional intelligence is commonly defined by four attributes:
1. Self-management – You’re able to control impulsive feelings and take initiatives.
2. Self-awareness – You know your strengths and weaknesses, and have self-confidence.
