Akili Imekithiri: Unachohitaji Kweli Ili Kufanikiwa

Albert Einstein ilikadiriwa kuwa 160, ya Madonna ni 140, na ya John F. Kennedy ilikuwa 119 pekee, lakini ilivyobainika, alama zako za IQ ni ndogo ikilinganishwa na alama zako za EQ, MQ, na BQ linapokuja suala la kutabiri mafanikio yako na mafanikio ya kitaaluma.

Vipimo vya IQ vinatumika kama kiashirio cha uwezo wa kufikiri kimantiki na akili ya kiufundi. IQ ya juu mara nyingi ni sharti la kupanda hadi safu za juu za biashara leo. Inahitajika, lakini haitoshi kutabiri uwezo wa mtendaji na mafanikio ya shirika. Kwa yenyewe, IQ ya juu haihakikishi kuwa utasimama na kuinuka juu ya kila mtu mwingine.

Utafiti uliofanywa na Taasisi ya Teknolojia ya Carnegie unaonyesha kuwa asilimia 85 ya mafanikio yako ya kifedha yanatokana na ujuzi katika "uhandisi wa kibinadamu," utu wako na uwezo wako wa kuwasiliana, kujadiliana, na kuongoza. Kwa kushangaza, ni asilimia 15 tu inatokana na ujuzi wa kiufundi. Zaidi ya hayo, mwanasaikolojia Mmarekani mwenye asili ya Israel na Marekani, Daniel Kahneman, aliyeshinda Tuzo ya Nobel, aligundua kuwa watu wangependelea kufanya biashara na mtu wanayempenda na kumwamini badala ya mtu ambaye hawampendi, hata kama mtu anayependwa anatoa bidhaa au huduma ya ubora wa chini kwa bei ya juu.

Ukiwa na hili akilini, badala ya kuangazia pekee mgawo wako wa kawaida wa akili, unapaswa kuwekeza katika kuimarisha EQ yako (Emotional Intelligence), MQ (Moral Intelligence), na BQ (Body Intelligence). Dhana hizi zinaweza kuwa ngumu na ngumu kuzipima, lakini umuhimu wao ni mkubwa zaidi kuliko IQ.

Akili ya Kihisia

EQ ndiyo inayojulikana zaidi kati ya hizo tatu, na kwa ufupi inahusu: kuwa na ufahamu wa hisia zako mwenyewe na za wengine, kudhibiti hisia hizi ndani yako na wengine, kwa kutumia hisia zinazofaa kwa hali hiyo, kujihamasisha, na kujenga mahusiano.

Kidokezo Bora cha Uboreshaji: Kwanza, fahamu mazungumzo yako ya ndani. Inasaidia kuweka kumbukumbu ya mawazo gani hujaza akili yako wakati wa mchana. Mkazo unaweza kuwa muuaji mkubwa wa akili ya kihisia, kwa hiyo unahitaji pia kuendeleza mbinu za kukabiliana na afya ambazo zinaweza kwa ufanisi na haraka kupunguza matatizo katika hali tete.

Akili ya Maadili

MQ hufuata EQ moja kwa moja inaposhughulikia uadilifu, uwajibikaji, huruma na msamaha wako. Jinsi unavyojichukulia ndivyo watu wengine watakavyokutendea. Kuweka ahadi, kudumisha uadilifu wako, na kuwa mwaminifu ni muhimu kwa akili ya maadili.

Kidokezo Bora cha Uboreshaji: Toa visingizio vichache na uwajibike kwa matendo yako. Epuka uongo mdogo mweupe. Onyesha huruma na uwasiliane heshima kwa wengine. Jizoeze kukubali na kuonyesha uvumilivu wa mapungufu ya watu wengine. Msamaha hauhusu tu jinsi tunavyohusiana na wengine; pia ni jinsi unavyohusiana na unavyojihisi.

Akili ya Mwili

Mwishowe, kuna BQ yako, au akili ya mwili, ambayo inaonyesha kile unachojua kuhusu mwili wako, jinsi unavyohisi kuuhusu, na kuutunza. Mwili wako mara kwa mara unakuambia mambo; unasikiliza ishara au unazipuuza? Je, unakula vyakula vya kutoa nishati au vinavyotumia nishati kila siku? Je, unapumzika vya kutosha? Je, unafanya mazoezi na kutunza mwili wako? Inaweza kuonekana kama mambo haya hayahusiani na utendaji wa biashara, lakini akili yako ya mwili huathiri kabisa kazi yako kwa sababu kwa kiasi kikubwa huamua hisia zako, mawazo, kujiamini, hali ya akili, na kiwango cha nishati.

Kidokezo Bora cha Kuboresha: Angalau mara moja kwa siku, sikiliza ujumbe ambao mwili wako unakutumia kuhusu afya yako. Fuatilia ishara hizi kwa bidii badala ya kuendelea na majaribio ya kiotomatiki. Lishe bora, mazoezi ya kawaida, na mapumziko ya kutosha yote ni vipengele muhimu vya kuwa na BQ ya juu. Kufuatilia uzito wako, kufanya mazoezi ya kiasi na pombe, na kuhakikisha kuwa una muda wa chini kunaweza kufaidika sana utendaji wa ubongo wako na jinsi unavyofanya kazi.

Unachohitaji Kweli Ili Kufanikiwa

Haijalishi kama hukupokea mafunzo bora ya kitaaluma kutoka chuo kikuu cha juu. Mtu aliye na elimu ndogo ambaye amekuza kikamilifu EQ, MQ, na BQ yake anaweza kufaulu zaidi kuliko mtu aliye na elimu ya kuvutia ambaye hafanyiki katika kategoria hizi zingine.

Ndiyo, hakika ni vizuri kuwa mtu mwenye akili, mwenye akili timamu na mwenye IQ ya juu; hii ni mali muhimu. Lakini lazima utambue kwamba haitoshi. IQ yako itakusaidia wewe binafsi, lakini EQ, MQ, na BQ itafaidi kila mtu karibu nawe pia. Iwapo unaweza kumudu ugumu wa aina hizi za akili za kipekee na ambazo mara nyingi hazijakadiriwa, utafiti unatuambia utapata mafanikio makubwa zaidi na utachukuliwa kuwa mtu mwenye uwezo na uwezo kitaaluma zaidi.

Intelligence isn't overrated. It's just wrongly defined.

Thank you very much for this reality check. I have found that taking an IQ test and scoring high allows intelligent people to be lazy, and not develop their brains to it's full potential. They often think that they have a high IQ and can use that as an excuse.

i remember within last 2 weeks, I checked my vocabularies and I surpassed all the marks of foreign learners.They said that the highest foreign English learners got between 3.000 to 9.000 marks while I got 11.900marks. To me it was unbelievable because I didn't know. I could pass all foreign learners. Who can learn 200 words everyday? I did it marvelously!

@4f801dec7b5b4bf294b64c2ed73befc7:disqus Let us not worry because mr writer said there are hopes for those who didn't graduated universities. am holding 2 years Diploma and 3 years experience. so what I need to do is to master the English. I had been reading books and notes past 6 hours which is there are hopes for those including me who believe they are disadvantaged because I saw job descriptions saying ' degree/bachelor.'
Thanks a lot

At 24, I wanted to join MENSA, so took an IQ test: 128. I've been depressed many years, wasn't able to finish my college education, couldn't hold on to jobs very long because I constantly got in trouble with people, my relationships were a never-ending drama - I just didn't know myself. I really got to know myself through bodywork and experience-based therapy putting great emphasis on emotional and body awareness - coaching for my EQ, MQ, BQ. I feel so much more alive and whole now, and the job/relationship/education construction sites are finally coming along nicely, too. AND I get to enjoy my intelligence, too.

My son, Jeff, born in 1970, was a musical savant, IQ 158.  He passed on this day, cinco de Mayo, in 2005, at 35 yrs. of age, from complications of paranoid schitzophrenia.  I am recalling fondly, one comment he made to me when he was about 17:  "Mom, you are the best mom and I love you ~ you are such a 'June Cleaver'....and, Mom, nobody cares about our 4.0s!  I miss Jeff so much, but believe he is leading the band in the stars.  The band he began in the 90's in LA, was BONEYARD.

It was a great article. In fact it was a truth. I have always been a person who was good in academics. I use to think that only studies are the most important thing. But now the phase I am facing in my life has shown that my EQ, MQ and BQ is very low and this has resulted in my IQ level too. Its very hard to bring all the things together but yes I think keeping track of my EQ, MQ and BQ will help me out and bring me back to my level again. thank you.

I can't believe someone would guess exactly myself. I am that way. I developed IQ and I only deal who I trust by just reading the face of the person because I have skills to know what type persons are without even asking a question. I remember one time I saw unskilled man who was guilty of something very bad I then wrote him to understand me or ready for worst. He really thought was from Secret Service and some told me he later ran. About EQ, MQ and BQs have suffered from EQ which goes as far as nothing else but sometimes some of those are there but they can only function after IQ approves. If one hurts and the hurts hurt lot EQ can't work untill heeling happens. If me wrong and am gestured normally I don't jump until I make sure how far the person proves. it is only after that I make decisions because I can't be enough fool to pour my heart with first phrase. There is need that the subject details because he or she may think am not understood but also sometimes I see many  things peo... [View Full Comment]

Great points, Keld! This shows, in part, the value of balance. It takes a little of this and a little of that to reach our goals. Your post also shows how much power people possess in reaching goals, because we can all increase our EQ, MQ and BQ. Thanks for making time to write your post!
