Are smart people miserable? - McLeod: Ignorance isn’t the only path to bliss By Lisa Earle McLeod - Updated: 09/22/07 9:28 AM There’s a long-held theory that average folks are happier than the brainiacs with high IQ’s. The premise — probably concocted by a bunch of geniuses — is that if you’re super smart, you’re more likely to be tormented by things like global warming, the meaning of life and your dysfunctional in-laws than the average Joe or Jane. The masses in the middle of the bell curve are thrilled just to have a roof over their head and a martini every Friday night, but the Mensa members are wracked with despair because they alone understand life’s complexities. I’ve always kinda liked this theory, secretly relishing in the thought, or hope, that I’m one of the smart ones and thereby excused from being chipper.

Human mind - Many factors impact intelligence. By DR MILTON LUM (Source: The Star Online) WHAT is intelligence? Various definitions are propounded by different organisations. Although the brain is less than 2.5% of our body weight, it accounts for about 20% of the body’s energy when at rest. Its usage of oxygen and glucose is about 10 times that of other organs. General intelligence The most influential approach in understanding intelligence is based on psychometric testing. All forms of IQ tests correlate with each other. In the early 20th century, English psychologist Charles Edward Spearman devised a statistical measurement of performance across a variety of tests. He found that the same people who did well in various mental tests tended to use a part of their brain, which he called “G” or general intelligence. This gave rise to the concept of a single intelligence, which enables humans to deal with various mental tasks. Multiple intelligences American psychologist Howard Gardner carried out studies on children and adults, the gifted, the brain-damaged and individuals from diverse cultures. This led him to formulate the view that there are at least eight different types of intelligence, i.e. logical, linguistic, spatial, musical, kinesthetic, naturalist, intra-personal and inter-personal. He argues that IQ tests measure only logical and linguistic intelligence and some aspect of spatial intelligence, while ignoring other types of intelligence.
Research Links Stress and Emotional Intelligence to Catastrophic Leadership Failure Watkinsville, GA – August 24, 2007 – Why do good leaders with proven track records sometimes suddenly begin making really bad decisions—or no decisions? New research from Henry L.
