25 JUNE FS Q.11
Read the passage carefully
and answer question
Intelligence is associated with academic achievement
by most people. The various theories of intelligence
created by psychologists hold that there are two kinds
of academic intelligence-verbal and mathematical or
logical. Intelligence is an inherited trait that impacts
individual behavior and performance according
to most experts. But, many research studies have
revealed that the environment greatly impacts the
development of intelligence. Since one property of
intelligence is analytical and reasoning skills, people
with high intelligence quotient will understand the
problem at hand better that people with a low IQ.
Many organizations consider intelligence as an
important criterion while recruiting. For instance,
in many management schools, a lot of weightage
is given to high IQ while admitting students
or recruiting faculty members. The qualities of
intelligent people are high energy drive, achievement, and competitiveness. Very intelligent employees
learn job – related skills and other organisational
practices quickly and organisations have to spend
less time training them. People with high intelligence
have good decision-making abilities due to their
good analytical and reasoning skills. With a high
achievement drive, they are mostly very productive.
As the saying goes, ‘A wise enemy is better than a
foolish’ friend;
Even with such a high IQ, very intelligent people may
not always be very happy. The high IQ makes them
dysfunctional leading to anxiety and depression.
Generally speaking, people with high intelligence
the quotient is often dissatisfied with people.
