Unit 13 Lesson 1 EQ: IQ
第十三單元 第一課 情商:智商
Success comes with a high EQ
成功與高EQ同在
Most students do an IQ test early in their school career.
大部分學生在他們學生生涯的早期都做過IQ測試。
Even if they never see their results, they feel that their IQ is what determines how well they are going to do in life.
即使從沒見過測試結果,他們還是覺得自己的IQ決定了他們在將來的生活中做得有多好。
When they see other students doing better than them, they usually believe that those students have a higher IQ and that there is nothing they can do to change facts.
當他們看到別的學生比自己做得好時,他們總是相信那些學生的IQ更高,而他們自己卻無力改變事實。
However, new research into EQ suggests that success is not simply the result of a high IQ.
然而,新的EQ研究表明,成功不僅僅是高IQ的結果。
While your IQ tells you how intelligent you are, your EQ tells you how well you use your intelligence.
你的IQ表明你有多聰明,而你的EQ則表明你把你的聰明才智運用得多好。
Professor Salovey, who invented the term EQ, gives the following description:
創造出EQ(情商)這個術語的薩洛維教授作出了如下的描述:
At work, it is IQ that gets you hired but it is EQ that gets you promoted.
在工作上,是IQ使你被雇傭,但是EQ讓你得到提高。
Supported by his academic research, Professor Salovey suggests that when predicting someone's future success,
以自己的學術研究作為依據,薩洛維教授認為預測一個人未來的成功,
their character, as measured by EQ tests, might actually matter more than their IQ.
其性格(可用EQ來測量),實際上比其智力(可用IQ測量)的作用更為重要。
Professor Salovey may be correct.
薩洛維教授可能是正確的。
For example, have you ever wondered why some of the smartest students in your class, who you think deserve good grades, sometimes end up failing exams?
例如,你想過為什么班里有些最聰明的學生,你覺得會拿到高分的人,有時結果會考不及格?
Perhaps their failure is because of their low EQ.
也許他們失敗的原因在于EQ太低。
People are often mistaken in thinking that those with high IQs always have high EQs as well.
人們通常會誤以為那些高IQ的人EQ也總是很高。
This association can exist, but it is just as possible for someone with a low IQ to have a high EQ or someone with a high IQ to have a low EQ.
這種聯系可能存在,但是可能性只存在于IQ低的人EQ高,或者IQ高的人EQ低。
