Yeah, intelligence or IQ is pretty much determined by your genetic heratage, there's not much we can do now to dramatically change that. EQ, sadly is highly corelated with IQ. The view is that it's half decided by gene and half by your upbringing (early life experience or how you grew up), personality is also the same. Potential is two parts, one is the emotional capability to effectively deal with new situation, the other is the IQ to analyze the situation and reach solutions. That means it's equal parts IQ and EQ. Other capabilities like creativity is more or less related with personality. Don't be sad about that, it's actually age old truth. It's more important to actually know yourself than blindly believe your potential. The important thing is to know what you do best and beat everyone else on that thing, and know what you don't do well and avoid that like a plague (or find ways to cover your ass) On the other hand, there are also ways or mental training exercises to develop almost all skills. It may or may not develop your capability dramatically (more likely not dramatically). Also, all developmental efforts has cost (time and effort) and risk involved. So there is also the problem of do you really want to make the investment -- by 会员 Xylus (2012/4/19 18:50:45)
I do not like to give my personal story to disapprove your theory.
I think my after-20 experience changed me a lot. My EQ really comes later in my life.
I strongly feel that chinese thinking differs western thinking hugely, especially on encouragement.
I will remember today's conversation and work on my 20% and turn that figure to 100%
And by the way, to yourself and Bolan,
Are you doing a MBA or already completted one? |
