IQ vs EQ
Posted by Ling on February 12, 2004
Intelligent Quotient (IQ) is defined as a measure of a person’s intelligence as indicated by an intelligence test
Environmental Quotient (EQ) is defined as a measure of a person’s intelligence to the environment i.e. level of “street-wise-ness”
(please note that I made up the definition of EQ as there doesn’t seem to be something that exists…)
My friends have described me as smart and clever, but not street-wise at all.
The IQ side of my brain is very receptive but unfortunately, the EQ side is totally defunct!
My dental knowledge is reasonably good. I enjoy mathematics and science. But my general knowledge is very poor and common sense isn’t really that common…
For example, I thought tigers were female lions…oops!
As it has been snowing recently, I decided to wear boots to walk to University.
I thought – snow, boots.
I didn’t think – snow, walk uphill, 4-inch heeled pointy-toed boots equals a big NO-NO!
I was walking up the hill to University when I bumped into some classmates.
This guy said, “Hi Ling, great boots!”
I thought, “Ooh, compliment!” till I remembered the sound of sarcasm.
Yes, I skidded and fell over 5 times!
