Gifted Individuals: Cognitive Intelligence and Emotional Intelligence

4/1/2021

0 Comments

 
Cognitive intelligence (IQ) refers to the ability to learn, apply knowledge, and solve problems, whereas emotional intelligence (EQ) is viewed as the ability to understand and manage your own emotions. Even though there have been debates about which one is more important in real life, we could easily agree that we need both to be successful in life. 

There is an additional ongoing debate on this topic related to gifted individuals, and IQ and EQ: “Are gifted individuals more emotionally intelligent than their non-gifted counterparts?” 

In the past, the definition of giftedness has been overfocused on cognitive intelligence; gifted individuals are more likely to have higher cognitive intelligence. Yet, there is a constant interaction between physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development. So, to understand giftedness better, we need to research the social-emotional development of gifted individuals as well. 
Recently, we have seen more research on the social and emotional well-being of the gifted population. Aligned with this effort, researchers have examined emotional intelligence among gifted individuals, but these individual studies have provided mixed results.
 

This year, Dr. Uzeyir Ogurlu at the University of Wisconsin – Stevens Point conducted a meta-analysis to clarify the relationship between emotional intelligence and giftedness. He collected and analyzed 17 studies that compared emotional intelligence levels among gifted and non-gifted populations. The study findings revealed that gifted individuals had slightly higher emotional intelligence levels than their non-gifted peers. This meta-analysis showed that the social-emotional adjustment of the gifted population was at least as high as that of their non-gifted counterparts and was often higher in many of the studies.

Individuos Con Habilidades Excepcionales: Inteligencia Cognitiva e Inteligencia Emocional
El cociente de inteligencia (CI) se refiere a la capacidad de aprender, aplicar el conocimiento y resolver problemas, mientras que la inteligencia emocional (IE) es vista como la capacidad de entender y manejar sus propias emociones. A pesar de que ha habido debates sobre cuál es más importante en la vida real, podríamos fácilmente estar de acuerdo en que necesitamos de manos para poder tener éxito en la vida. 
Hay un debate continuo adicional sobre este tema relacionado con las personas superdotadas o con habilidades excepcionales, y el coeficiente intelectual: "¿Son las personas con habilidades excepcionales, más inteligentes emocionalmente que las personas que no poseen habilidades excepcionales?" 
En el pasado, la definición de “superdotado” o perdonas con habilidades excepcionales se ha centrado demasiado en la inteligencia cognitiva; individuos dotados son más propensos a tener mayor inteligencia cognitiva. Sin embargo, hay una interacción constante entre el desarrollo físico, cognitivo, social y emocional. Por lo tanto, para entender mejor a las personas con talentos especiales, necesitamos investigar el desarrollo socioemocional de individuos con habilidades excepcionales.
Recientemente, hemos visto más investigaciones sobre el bienestar social y emocional de la población de personas con habilidades especiales. Junto con este esfuerzo, los investigadores han examinado la inteligencia emocional entre individuos con habilidades excepcionales, pero estos estudios han proporcionado resultados mixtos. 
Este año, el Dr. Uzeyir Ogurlu de la Universidad de Wisconsin – Stevens Point llevó a cabo un meta-análisis para aclarar la relación entre la inteligencia emocional y la inteligencia cognitiva. El, recopiló y analizó 17 estudios que compararon los niveles de inteligencia emocional entre poblaciones de personas con habilidades excepcionales y quienes no lo son. Los resultados del estudio revelaron que los individuos con habilidades excepcionales tenían niveles de inteligencia emocional ligeramente más altos que sus compañeros con habilidades promedio. Este metanálisis mostró que el ajuste socioemocional de la población  con habilidades excepcionales era al menos tan alto como el de sus contrapartes y a menudo este tipo de inteligencia resulto ser mayor en muchos de los estudios.
Aca esta la pagina de internet del estudio realizado por el Dr. Uzeyir:
