Errata At the bottom of page 303 in Mind Programming, a suggested emotional quotient quiz is introduced. This is an error. The actual quiz, which follows on the next three pages, is in fact an experimental instrument designed to provide some feedback to the test taker on their SQ as developed in the book. There are a number of emotional quotient tests on the Internet and here is a link to many: http://www.allthetests.com/eq-tests-emotional-quotient-quizzes.php The SQ quiz contains certain assumptions that are not necessarily relevant to all world religions. Indeed, the questions themselves have been designed to evaluate four premises more than anything else. Those four premises are: 1. How much self-responsibility are you willing to take for everything in your life? 2. How much value do you assign to the importance of all life? 3. Do you contribute to the improvement of life? 4. How willing are you to be a genuine peacemaker? It is recognized that not all religious people find these four elements to be priorities and as such, this quiz does not represent fairly divergent views. You will have to number your answers according to the order of the questions to begin. The scoring for the SQ quiz is as follows: For questions 1 thru 8, 14 thru 21, 30 thru 33, 37 thru 40, 44 thru 52, 54 thru 57, 61, 63, 65 thru 67, 71, 72, 78, and 80--give yourself 4 point for every “Always” answer, 3 points for every “Sometimes” answer, 2 points for every “Seldom” answer and 1 point for every “Never” answer. For questions 9 thru 13, 23 thru 27, 34 thru 36, 41, 43, 53, 58 thru 60, 62, 69, 70, 73, 75 thru 77, and 79-- give yourself 1 point for every “Always” answer, 2 points for every “Sometimes” answer, 3 points for every “Seldom” answer and 4 point for every “Never” answer. Do not score questions 22, 28, 29, 42, 64, 68, and 74. The total possible is 292 points. A score of 260 or more is considered high while a score of 200 is considered spiritually interested for the spiritual seeker as defined in the book. |
