According to <\/span>Psychology Today<\/i><\/b><\/a>, intelligence is \u201c\u2026a construct that includes problem solving abilities, spatial manipulation and language acquisition.\u201d The <\/span>American Psychological Association<\/b><\/a> describes the definition of intelligence as all about how well our intellect functions, and what we often measure using IQ tests, aimed at measuring our intelligence quotients. Intelligence measured by IQ tests isn’t the be all and end all. Regardless of the number of languages that you learn to speak, the amount of information you memorize, and even how well you can complete math problems, intelligence inevitably is a more complex measure. <\/span>Unfortunately<\/b><\/a>, \u201cIQ and technical skills will only get you so far.\u201d<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n Two types of intelligences that are unmeasurable in IQ tests are pivotal for success in leadership levels in business, and even in innovation, as evidenced in the category for a recent<\/span> Fast Company<\/i><\/b><\/a> article about why venture capitalists look at one of these types of intelligence: innovation agents. These two kinds of intelligence are <\/span>Emotional Intelligence (EQ) <\/b>and <\/span>Social Intelligence (SQ)<\/b>. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Psychology Today<\/i><\/b><\/a> states that social intelligence \u201c\u2026develops from experience with people and learning from success and failures in social settings. It is more commonly referred to as \u201ctact,\u201d \u201ccommon sense,\u201d or \u201cstreet smarts.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n The <\/span>magazine<\/b><\/a> describes critical traits for people with high SQ:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\nSocial Intelligence<\/h4>\n
