Life's Laws For New Adults
Managing Your Social IQ

For over sixty years, psychologists have placed great emphasis on intelligence with the now well-known IQ score. A child with a high IQ is the goal of every parent. The hope being, intelligent children will become successful adults.

Unfortunately, we all know of very intelligent adults who grow up to be “underachievers.” The truth is that a high IQ is only a good indicator of an individual who should become a college professor. Recent research has shown that there are many forms of IQ, such as kinesthetic, musical or artistic intelligence. Gifted people in any of these areas, have the potential to excel.

In this book, Dr. Philip Copitch explores the secrets of Social IQ—the ability to understand and command the social environment. Unlike the other forms, Social IQ can be practiced and mastered. High Social IQ has the potential to opens doors in ones personal and professional life. Individuals with a high Social IQ are outgoing, confident and committed. They are comfortable expressing their feelings and learn quickly from their mistakes. A high Social IQ is the key to professional fulfillment, family harmony, and emotional security. People with a high social IQ adapt well to social pressure because they are happy and content knowing that their skills will serve them well.
