Passage 4

In an effort to make up for some of the glaring limitations of IQ tests, researchers have begun to develop new ways to measure the kinds of emotional factors and psychological attitudes that lead to success in everyday life. while IQ tests remain excellent predictors of how well one will do in school, they have little or nothing to do with who will earn the money or prestige or have the most satisfying social life or relationships. The new tests are intended to assess the more practical intelligence that underlies these accomplishments. The new approach goes beyond purely mental skills to assess emotional factors and psychological attitudes that can either interfere with or facilitate the use of those skills. It has fostered new theories of what it means to be smart.

The old theories focused on academic skills such as verbal or mathematical quickness. But the new theories describe a spectrum of practical talents such as the ability to pick up the unspoken rules that govern success in a corporate or professional career or the habits of mind that foster productivity.“IQ and success in living have little to do with each other”, says Seymour Epstein, a psychologist at the University of Massachusetts.“Being intellectually gifted does not predict you will earn the most money or achieve the most recognition, even among college professors.”

One factor emerging as crucial for life success is what might be called emotional intelligence.“How well people manage their emotions determines how effectively they can use their intellectual ability,”Dr. Epstein says.“For example, if someone is skilled at solving problems in the quiet of her office, but falls apart in a group, then she will be ineffective in a great many situations.”
