IQ vs EQ vs SQ, which one is the key to success?

Intelligent Quotient (IQ), Emotional Quotient(EQ) and Spiritual Quotient(SQ).

Having a high IQ proves that you have book smarts, but without emotional intelligence, how can you be socially coherent? In today's world, communications skills are more important than having the best GPA. According to Daniel Goleman, “emotions have the primary survival function”. It is the way you interact with others that helps to mold you. There are four demands of emotional intelligence or EQ: understanding your emotions, managing your emotions, perceiving your emotions, and using your emotions.

Emotional intelligence is defined as how a person behaves by managing his or her emotions and empathizing with other people’s feelings so they can interact and communicate effectively.

What is SQ?
Human beings are different from animals and computers because of SQ. Animals can have EQ and computers can have IQ but they won't have SQ. SQ is all about holistic approach to life: the wholesomeness, self-awareness, compassion, creativity, ability to think, ability to reason out etc; all of this together.

There is an articel on the NET titled "Spiritual Quotient: The Type of Smarts We Don't Learn in School". The article state that, Emotional intelligence is another important aspect. In the 1990s, psychologist Daniel Goleman popularized the concept in his best-selling book Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ. He used findings from neuroscience and psychology to show the importance of an emotional quotient (EQ) to success in life.

He defines emotional intelligence "as a set of skills, including control of one's impulses, self-motivation, empathy and social competence in interpersonal relationships"
