The Holistic Psychological Profile

The term intelligence is too wide and actually includes all types of intelligence that exist. In order to characterize a person the simple statement that he/she is intelligent is not enough. A psychological profile is much more accurate if it evaluates the types of intelligence that describe the assessed person.

For instance, let’s analyze a hypothetical Mr. Adam, who:

• is an efficient businessman
• is persuasive and intuitive
• has a good command of English
• controls himself very well
• knows how to reason
• is an atheist
• smokes a lot
• who is not at all interested in art – which is considered a waste of time
• watches DVDs in his spare time.

The holistic psychological profile can describe more precisely Mr. Adam than just depicting him as being intelligent:

• Being an efficient businessman he has a high financial IQ
• As he doesn’t believe in God so that he doesn’t feel the need to give a spiritual meaning to his life
• A good self control is a sign of his high emotional intelligence
• Since he is persuasive he has a high communicational intelligence
• Given that he dislikes art his artistic intelligence is low. However this doesn’t make him less creative because he is a successful businessman.
• His organic or body intelligence is quite low because he smokes. .
