INTELLIGENCE

I choose this article because this
article was very unique. Human Intelligence was become complete. We have
complexion in intelligence, such as brain intelligence and emotional
intelligence. Both of them are so important. But, emotional has a major
function as successful tester. Person who have more in emotional intelligence
been become more social, more empathy, and they were self reliant and
confident, trustworthy and dependable. And these, have more control in
successful of life.
This article tells us about famous ‘impulse control’ test at a San Francisco lecture by Daniel Goleman, called “The Marshmallow Challenge”. In this test, four-year-old was individually called into a room at Stanford University during the 1960’s. There, a kind man gave a marshmallow to each of them and said they could eat the marshmallow right away, or wait for him to come back from an errand, at which point they would get two marshmallows.
Some of them covered their eyes or rested their heads on their arm so they wouldn’t have to look at the marshmallow, or played games or sang to keep their heads on their arms so they wouldn’t have to look at the marshmallow and waited for the promised double prize. Others, about a third of the group, simply watched the man leave and ate the marshmallow.
What is surprising about this test?, a dozen years later the same children were tracked down as adolescents and tested again. The ones who had resisted eating the marshmallow were clearly more socially competent than the others.
The author explain about recent discoveries in brain research that prove emotional stability is more important than IQ in determining an individual’s success in life. People that have better in emotional intelligence is more sociable, more and have more ability in the face of difficulty.
I think it is good news. It can help us to develop our emotional intelligence more than IQ because future is something unpredictable. Probably, we will face any different kind of trouble and of course, we need self confidence to survive against pressure. This confidence should be trained by our experience of life.
