This extract from a presentation by 3Di Associates explores the multi-faceted language of intelligence. It highlights how we use terms such as intellect, instinct, personal, social, physical, and spiritual without truly connecting them to their corresponding intelligences. The discussion emphasizes the importance of recognizing both IQ (intellectual intelligence) and EQ (emotional intelligence) to support children's holistic development. By clarifying these concepts, we can better nurture individual intelligences and foster environments where students can thrive, empowering them to achieve their full potential.

What is the language of intelligence? • Intellect – knowing, thinking, interpretation • Instinct –inherent, predisposition, impulsive • Personal – self-knowledge, passion, imagination • Social – empathy, compassion, consideration • Physical – senses, agility, maintenance • Spiritual – intuitive, feeling, wonder We use these words but do not necessarily connect them with a specific intelligence. We need to be clearer on what we mean by these terms in order to support children as they develop their own intelligences.
IQ versus EQ: Not an either/or When many people use the word ‘intelligence’ what they really mean is ‘intellect’. What is intellect? Some people suggest that we can have a knowledge based curriculum without the necessity to nurture emotional intelligence simultaneously? What is emotional intelligence? Can your school function without the interplay between these intelligences?
