It seems that IQ accounts for about 20% of ones success in life; the rest depends on everything from the social class you are born in, to how lucky you are, to the way your brain is wired. And, of course, on how well developed your

The researcher invites the children, one by one, into a plain room and begins the gentle torment. Yo

And it doesnt show up on an IQ test.Language

25、Points第14頁5For most of this century, scientists have worshipped the hardware of the brain and the software of the mind; the messy powers of the heart were left to the poets. But cognitive theory could simply not explain the questions we wonder about most: why some people just seem to have a gift for

26、 living well; why the smartest kid in the class will probably not end up the richest; why we like some people virtually on sight and distrust others; why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resilient soul.

31、e may be no less original idea than the notion that our hearts hold dominion over our heads. I was so angry, we say, I couldnt think straight. Neither is it surprising that people skills are useful, which amounts to saying, its good to be nice. Its so true its trivial, says Dr. Paul McHugh, director

Goleman admits the danger of suggesting that you can assign a numerical value to a persons character as well as his intellect; Golema

40、 the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use. Among the ingredients for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%; the rest depends on everything from class to luck to the neural pathways that have developed in the brain over millions of years of human evolutio
