IQ, EQ, or Grit: Traits that are Predictors for Success
This paper investigates the possible answers to what traits are predictors for success? I will be looking into the most common three indicators. First indicator is academic intelligence which is commonly tested by taking a intelligence quotient test. The first I.Q. test was developed by Alfred Binet and has evolved to a social status for the gfted rather than a weeding out test for slow learners as was the initial reason for development. Next indictor is emotional intelligence. E.Q. is the ability to sort emotions of ourselves and others to allow us to make rational decisions and ascertain the latent motives for actions and thoughts that could help or hinder our career performances. Lastly, Grit is known to be as perseverance and dedication when faced with adversity. A gritty individual is not afraid to put in the time and effort needed to get to where they want to be, no matter how overwhleming it may seem. In conclusion, I.Q., E.Q., or Grit alone does not equal success. People need to have a good intellectual base to build from, enough sense to deal with the emotions of themselves and others, and an unwavering passion to succeed.
I.Q., E.Q. or Grit? Being rich, successful and intelligent are probably three of the most coveted and sought after attributes. To be rich, most people will agree you need to be successful first. To be successful, most people would agree you need to be intelligent. If intelligence is the key to success and riches, then what makes us intelligent? While their are many types of traits that enable a successful future, the specific ones detailed in this paper are the Intelligence Quotient (I.Q.), Emotional Intelligence (commonly referred to as E.Q.), and Grit (defined as perservance for long term goals.).
