Originally, IQ was a score obtained by dividing a person's mental age score, obtained by administering an intelligence test, by the person's chronological age, both expressed in terms of years and months. The resulting fraction (quotient) was multiplied by 100 to obtain the IQ score. For modern #Current tests, IQ tests, the test score, raw score is Data transformation (statistics), transformed to a normal distribution with mean 100 and standard deviation 15.

Emotional Intelligence
Emotional intelligence (EI), also known as emotional quotient (EQ), is the ability to perceive, use, understand, manage, and handle emotions.

Triarchic Theory Of Intelligence
The triarchic theory of intelligence or three forms of intelligence, formulated by psychologist Robert Sternberg, aims to go against the psychometrics, psychometric approach to intelligence and take a more cognitive sciences, cognitive approach, which leaves it to the category of the cognitive-contextual theories. The three meta components are also called triarchic components. Sternberg's definition of human intelligence is "(a) mental activity directed toward purposive adaptation to, selection and shaping of, real-world environments relevant to one's life". Thus, Sternberg viewed intelligence as how well an individual deals with environmental changes throughout their lifespan. Sternberg's theory comprises three parts: componential, experiential and practical. Sternberg's theory has since been expanded and advanced in the book ''Experiential Intelligence'' by Soren Kaplan. Different components of information processing Sternberg associated the workings of the mind with a series o ...
