 IQ used to be the standard by which all were judged. Today, EQ allows for a broader understanding that encompasses attributes such as logical, linguistic, musical, kinetic, and emotional intelligences. This program provides an in-depth analysis of intelligence, including how it is defined and its neural components. Leading experts such as Harvard’s Howard Gardner; Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence; Colin Blakemore, of Oxford University; and Alison Gopnik, of the University of California, Berkeley, examine the correlation between self-control and SAT scores, the dominant role of the limbic system, and how emotional and intellectual intelligences can be defined and meaningfully measured. Not available in French-speaking Canada. (50 minutes)
