What IQ tests Miss

IQ tests don’t measure

·     The strength of your desire to succeed in life

·     Your imagination

·     Your curiosity

·     Your integrity, the strength of your character

·     Your intuitive connections to the right time to do things (a quality that Carl Jung related to “Synchronicity” and which most schools of psychology ignore).

·     Your ability to defer gratification

·     The techniques you’ve developed to inspire yourself

·     Your family support system

·     Your ability to turn on the charm when necessary

·     Your ability to work with people to achieve your goals

·     And more.

    Michael Gelb in his book, “Think Like Da Vinci,” points out that the dominant quality in the mind of this genius was his ever fresh curiosity. Da Vinci’s mind was always asking questions, as was Socrates, as yours should be.
