PDN 2/24/22 What does IQ stand for? What about EQ? IQ stands for intelligence quotient, a score determined by standardized tests that are designed to assess an individual’s intelligence. The tests were originally created to evaluate a person’s cognitive abilities relating to reasoning and logical problem-solving. There are several IQ tests that can be used, but one of the most common is the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale. Most people will score in the range of 85 to 114, with anything above 115 seen as above average. Those scoring 145 and beyond are considered in the genius range. EQ stands for emotional quotient or emotional intelligence. It determines an individual’s ability to identify emotions, both their own and that of others. It is a common belief that people with a high EQ make better leaders, because of their ability to understand and connect with those around them. People that have an elevated level of emotional intelligence often do well in leadership roles and display excellent teamwork abilities. They can perceive the emotions of others and often have strong empathy, usually resulting in good self-awareness and social skills.
