It is well known that there is no necessary connection between a person's IQ and their success. Recent research even shows that when it comes to being an overall high performer, IQ only accounts for about 25% of the importance.

This 3-year-old toddler, who has just outgrown diapers and bottles, is undergoing IQ training to help them pass the kindergarten entrance exam. Yes, you heard it right—whether in China, Japan, Taiwan, the U.S., or South Korea, for many parents who believe in "winning from the starting line," getting their child "admitted" into a good kindergarten is essential.

Using rigid tests to determine the intelligence of a 2-year-old might seem absurd, but for adults, standard IQ tests can indeed measure a person's IQ. Most people have an IQ around 100, and the smarter the brain, the more efficiently it operates.

In fact, adults can still find ways to increase their IQ. According to researchers, an average person can raise their IQ from 100 to 105 in about a month by practicing IQ-boosting games for half an hour daily, five days a week.

If the time invested seems disproportionate to the gains, consider another study. The results show that a person's overall performance in life is only 25% determined by IQ, while the remaining 75% depends on various acquired efforts and training. So, relying solely on a high IQ is not enough to make anyone a success in life. (Comprehensive report by Min-TV News reporter Wang Hao)

IQ represents a person's level of intelligence, but research from the University of Illinois on emotional intelligence (EQ) has found that children who undergo EQ training perform 11% better academically. As a result, many elementary and middle schools in the U.S. now offer EQ training courses.

According to the University of Illinois study, in addition to learning math and science, students should also participate in social and emotional training courses because EQ is just as important as IQ. Children who receive social and emotional training perform 11 percentage points better academically than those who do not. This is because individuals with high EQ are better at controlling their emotions, leading to improved focus and consequently better academic performance.

Many elementary and middle school teachers also believe that participating in social and emotional training courses is a future trend, as knowing how to interact with others is just as important as achieving high scores in exams. Truly intelligent individuals naturally excel in both social interactions and academic performance.
