For a long time, Intelligent Quotient (IQ) has enjoyed the reputation of being the true and only measure of an individual's intelligence. However, in the early 90s another aspect of intelligence, Emotional Quotient (EQ) was discovered. Since it was found that an individual's emotional state has a direct bearing on his ability to use IQ effectively, EQ was deemed higher than IQ. Now, researchers claim to have found the ultimate aspect of human intelligence- Spiritual Quotient (SQ)
IQ primarily solves logical problems.
EQ helps us to manage emotions appropriately. SQ enables us to ask and seek answers to fundamental questions.

You may want to consider the height of ladder, the angle of inclination and so on; the aspects that deal with how to get the job done constitute your IQ. EQ is required to manage your emotional state like fear, impatience etc. while you climb the ladder. You may use IQ & EQ and finally manage to climb the wall. What if, on reaching the top, you realize that with great difficulty, you have climbed the wrong wall. SQ - our ultimate intelligence, involve asking fundamental questions: "which wall to climb?" or, "why do I want to climb
Researchers now claim that there is enough evidence to prove that a strong IQ and EQ are by themselves insufficient for success in our life's pursuits. A good SQ is important for effective use of both IQ and EQ.

Emotional Quotient In the mid 1990's, research done by many neuroscientists and psychologists showed that EQ is a basic requirement for the effective use of IQ. Research done by tracking over 160 high performing individuals in a variety of industries and job levels revealed that Emotional Intelligence was two times more important in contributing to excellence than intellect and expertise
What is emotional intelligence? Emotional intelligence described as person's ability to understand his or her emotions and the emotions of others and to act appropriately based on his understanding.

Also dogs have emotions (EQ) such as anger (Barking & biting), friendliness (wagging 0f tail). They also understand
