Unit 13 Lesson 1 EQ: IQ
第十三单元 第一课 情商:智商
Success comes with a high EQ
成功与高EQ同在
Most students do an IQ test early in their school career.
大部分学生在他们学生生涯的早期都做过IQ测试。
Even if they never see their results, they feel that their IQ is what determines how well they are going to do in life.
即使从没见过测试结果,他们还是觉得自己的IQ决定了他们在将来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.
当他们看到别的学生比自己做得好时,他们总是相信那些学生的IQ更高,而他们自己却无力改变事实。
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,成功不仅仅是高IQ的结果。
While your IQ tells you how intelligent you are, your EQ tells you how well you use your intelligence.
你的IQ表明你有多聪明,而你的EQ则表明你把你的聪明才智运用得多好。
Professor Salovey, who invented the term EQ, gives the following description:
创造出EQ(情商)这个术语的萨洛维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使你被雇佣,但是EQ让你得到提高。
Supported by his academic research, Professor Salovey suggests that when predicting someone's future success,
以自己的学术研究作为依据,萨洛维教授认为预测一个人未来的成功,
their character, as measured by EQ tests, might actually matter more than their IQ.
其性格(可用EQ来测量),实际上比其智力(可用IQ测量)的作用更为重要。
Professor Salovey may be correct.
萨洛维教授可能是正确的。
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,你想过为什么班里有些最聪明的学生,你觉得会拿到高分的人,有时结果会考不及格?
Perhaps their failure is because of their low EQ.
也许他们失败的原因在于EQ太低。
People are often mistaken in thinking that those with high IQs always have high EQs as well.
人们通常会误以为那些高IQ的人EQ也总是很高。
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.
这种联系可能存在,但是可能性只存在于IQ低的人EQ高,或者IQ高的人EQ低。
