SUMMARY:

The School system still focuses on “cognitive intelligence” and aims at developing abilities and skills measured by IQ (intelligence quotient). IQ has little to do with how successful we are in life.

What really matters in life is Successful Intelligence: “What it takes to live a successful life”. It is the kind of intelligence that matters to everyone in reaching important life goals. To be successfully intelligent is to think well in three different ways: analytically, creatively and practically. Of these three kinds of intelligence, typically only analytical intelligence (together with linguistic intelligence) is valued in school. However, in life after school creative and practical intelligence may be more useful.
