Understanding & Managing Your
Intelligences
There is a great deal of confusion and many misconceptions about intelligence. The idea of IQ has led to a domineering, one-dimensional view of intelligence, where people think of themselves and others as either intelligent or not intelligent. This narrow view can limit diversity and crush people’s belief in themselves.
More and more research is pointing to a broadened, multifaced view of intelligence. This is much more empowering and motivating. There is also a growing belief that general intelligence (also called g factor or cognitive intelligence) is something that AI will be very good at. As a result, the other intelligences are likely to rise in importance.

Some questions for you
Spend a few moments thinking about the questions below. Our course will support you to reflect on, answer and address these questions.
- Did you know that in psychology we now think there are between 5-12 core intelligences, all of which matter in today’s working world? Or are you still stuck on a narrow view of cognitive and emotional intelligence?
- Could you be in danger of over-rating your intelligence because you are just looking at your cognitive (IQ), old exam results, general knowledge and EQ?
