In the 18th century, European philosophers and scientists, such as Voltaire, David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Carl Linnaeus, proposed the existence of different mental abilities among gropus. An intelligence quotient (IQ) is a total score derived from one of several standardized tests designed to assess human intelligence. The many different kinds of IQ tests include a wide variety of item content. Some test items are visual, while many are verbal. Test items vary from being based on abstract-reasoning problems to concentrating on arithmetic, vocabulary, or general knowledge. IQ tests do not measure creative and artistic abilities. IQ scores are partly a measure of how motivated one is to do well on the test. IQ tests do not produce consistent scores across cultural groups. An IQ test may include questions that emphasize skills that are important to one cultural group, and neglect skills that are important to another cultural group.

Later Emotional quotient (EQ) was added in 1964 by Michael Beldoch. Emotional intelligence (EI) is the capability of individuals to recognize their own and other people's emotions. Use these emotional information to guide thinking and behavior, and manage and/or adjust emotions to adapt to environments or achieve one's goals. Studies have shown that people with high EI have greater mental health, job performance, and leadership skills. In 1983, Howard Gardner's Frames of Mind discusses Multiple Intelligences to fully explain cognitive ability. Multiple intelligences included both interpersonal intelligence (the capacity to understand the intentions, motivations and desires of other people) and intrapersonal intelligence (the capacity to understand oneself, to appreciate one's feelings, fears and motivations).

Adversity quotient (the science of resilience) was coined by Paul Stoltz in 1997. It is a gauge or measure of how one responds and deals with everything, from everyday hassles to the big adversities. AQ is being used for assessing one's current resilience and learning how to deal with everything from minor hassles to major setbacks more effectively.

Talents/Skills like dexterity which is important for all, especially for professionals like surgeons, craftsmen and dancers. But Talents/Skills quotient (TQ) has not been discussed in detail so far. Each person has unique talents, which can not be considered under IQ or EQ. There are many cases of excellent carpenter or painter, with low IQ. Tribal artists do not score high IQ ratings, but can produce wonderful pieces of art. Some are excellent hunters.

eSP quotient is very difficult to define or explain. Some have got skills to impress by their looks, way of speaking,.. and so on. Most of the studies talk about five senses: vision; hearing; taste; smell and touch. There is much more than that. Physically, every one can feel heat, vibration, motion etc.. People can read other's mind and guess what they are thinking or feeling. For example, good sales person will use facial expression, body language and surrounndings/environment to decide, who is the right person to sell some thing. Great leader can mesmerize people.

• Ability to influence other person
• Ability to perceive information independently of, and beyond, the known senses (seeing, hearing, smelling, touching, and tasting).
• Ability to manipulate objects (including people) with the mind.
• Ability to foresee events or predict market (in addition to using analytical tools or techniques)
• Ability to see an event after it has occurred, like detectives.
• Ability to “read” information from objects.

(1) All these are just qualitative models to understand difference among individuals.

(2) There is no good method to compare individuals using these parameters. One can not compare musician skills with the dancer (like comparing oranges and apples).

(3) Most of the tests are unreliable, biased and favours certain group. But the concepts are useful to understand different people.

We all need Wisdom, which is beyond all these quotients:

1. Seeing light in the midst of darkness
2. Having hope, in the midst of fear and adverse situations.
3. Seeing order in the midst of chaos and confusions.
4. Knowing when we have to go fast or slow and when to attack or retreat
5. Distinguishing truth from falsehood by keeping an open mind.
