INTELLIGENCE - characteristicsINTELLIGENCE - characteristics- It is generally accepted that intelligence is inherited but can also be related to the environment. While studies showed that heredity is an important factor in determining intelligence; it was also suggested that environment is a critical factor in determining the extent of its expression.

- There are certainly ways to increase one’s intelligence, also called intelligence amplification/ enhancing, by practicing many proven cognitive tools such as problem-solving heuristics, creativity techniques and decision-making tools. An increase in the intelligence level can only result in a better life, health, and standard of living.

- The ability to pay attention to their emotions,

experience feelings with clarity and be able to

recover from negative states of mind will be a decisive

influence on students´mental health, and this psychological balance in

turn is related to and ultimately affects academic

performance.

- Persons with limited emotional skills are more likely to experience stress and emotional difficulties during their studies, and consequently will benefit

more from the use of adaptive emotional skills

that allow them to cope with these difficulties

ConclusionConclusion

Teaching emotional intelligence has become a necessary task in the educational arena and most parents and teachers consider mastery of these skills a priority in the socioemotional and personal development of their children and pupils. However, there are many ways to pursue this, and from our point of view, it is important to teach children and teenagers using EI (emotional intelligence) programs which explicitly include and highlight emotional skills based on the ability to perceive, understand and regulate emotions.

In my opinion, I agree with test results because I think that I have a interpersonal intelligence although I hope to have a good intelligence in general.
