Are you passionate about your work? The role of IQ and EQ in recruitment<\/b><\/h1>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let's first clarify the definitions in the \"big book\":<\/span><\/p>\n

From <\/span>IQ<\/b> (<\/span>intelligence quotient<\/span><\/i>, or intelligence quotient, is a measure of the difference, positive or negative, between the current intellectual ability (i.e. intelligence) of a person and the intellectual performance of a person of the same age with average intellectual ability.<\/span><\/p>\n

Researchers have developed several methods to quantify intelligence. Terman, Stern, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, IQ tests are used in many workplaces and schools to determine a person's rational ability and knowledge. The higher the IQ test score, the greater the lexical knowledge a person is considered to have. However, these tests often give false results because they do not test the person as a whole.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Are we wrong in the selection process if we only look at IQ?<\/b><\/h2>\n

<\/b><\/p>\n

In any case, we will have incomplete information if we want to make a decision based only on IQ, to \"know\" someone or to decide based on any test.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\"iq\"<\/p>\n

It is very important to have a personal relationship between the manager and the employee during the selection process. Personal conversations can tell both parties a lot. If this is not the case, sooner or later the problem will arise that the employee will not be able to do his or her job properly, because he or she lacks skills such as problem solving and making quick, decisive decisions. He or she is simply working in robot mode and can only carry out the instructions of a superior.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

People in decision-making positions can also be in for \"unpleasant\" surprises if they are placed in a position on the basis of IQ alone. For managers, high IQ can lead to egoism and \"tunnel vision\". They can only work and manage people according to ingrained habits and systems. They become inflexible and do not accept change.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Help: testing emotional intelligence<\/b><\/h2>\n

More recently, the study of EQ at work has also come to the fore. And EQ means nothing less than emotional intelligence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Emotional intelligence (EQ) is the ability to recognise and control one's own feelings, and to interpret and even influence the feelings of others. By harnessing this, they are able to motivate themselves and others, to develop quality relationships and, through these, to increase their effectiveness. The downside is when someone takes advantage and manipulates you. The downside of this is that in some cases the ability to influence is used for the wrong purpose. See companies that brainwash and manipulate the employee, making the employee feel vulnerable.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let's approach it in a positive direction, for a good cause. We spend many hours a day at work, and it matters how we spend that time, both as employees and as bosses. Having emotional intelligence is a major determinant of this state of mind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Your EQ level has a big impact on the following skills and abilities:<\/span><\/p>\n
