Question
Write an answer to the following question based on an example only in a word:
Sujata establishes cordial relations with superiors and colleagues in the company and has the ability to elicit cooperation from her subordinates. What type of intelligence is in greater quantities in Sujata?
Solution
Social Intelligence
Explanation:
Many times, we see people who are less qualified or who did not do well in school are quite successful, happy, and popular in their lives. Thus, it is not merely cognitive abilities but some other factors that determine success and social intelligence is one of those factors.
E.L. Thorndike, a psychologist from Columbia University proposed the term social intelligence for the first time in 1920. Howard Gardner included ‘interpersonal intelligence’ in his multiple intelligence theory. According to Karl Albrecht, “Social intelligence is the ability to get along well with others and to get them to cooperate with oneself.”
