Information is critical to everything we do. People need information for variety of reasons - be it a particular interest or in the search of knowledge - and appropriate information is critical aspect of judgment or decision-making. We need to digest and assimilate information before our rational mind makes an assessment, evaluation and after considering various options, we will adopt appropriate decision. Information can be classified as general or specific depending on our purpose of obtaining that information and its perceived relevance to us.
However, the most relevant information required is often personalized information. Though most of us are aware of our own personalities and characteristics, most of the times we are unsure of our inner self.
Human Intelligence
In behavioral science, there are many profound theories developed by psychologists on human intelligence. It is broadly segregated into three dimensions, namely, IQ (Intelligent Quotient), EQ (Emotional Quotient) and AI (Applied Intelligence).
We often presume that one’s ability and success is largely hinged on one’s IQ. However, empirical evidence suggests that not all people with a high IQ have been or are successful. The other two kinds of ‘intelligence’are also necessary for us to achieve success, has been proven over the centuries.
EQ or the emotional quotient too can contribute to one’s success. It can shape one’s performance via ability to handle situations and relate to others. EQ abilities are classified into five domains such as, knowing, managing, motivating one’s emotion, recognizing and handling relationships. The ability to steer the positive aspects of such emotions will assist us to achieve success in our aims and undertakings with the help of others.
AI or applied intelligence is the most acceptable domain in an age of occupational specialization. Most of us are pursuing and striving to pursue a more marketable career, commanding higher income or greater demand. Since we live in a largely materialistic society, a good income is perceived as able to satisfy our financial needs. It will improve and also provide us the resources to support our loved ones. It motivates us just like the old adage goes, success breed success.
How can human intelligence be assessed and evaluated in a modern society
In our modern society, many tests are tailored to test the human intelligence. The most popular of these tests belong to MENSA, but that is merely designed to test one’s IQ. EQ can be tested by specifically designed questionnaires for assessing the human emotional behavior. AI, instead applies to the testing of a person’s aptitude, skills and competency pertaining to one’s suitability relating to the job or position, based on their business organizations or employers.
Using Destiny Reading for revealing human’s intelligence
In the history of mankind many methods or techniques are developed and practiced over many centuries by each respective community for revealing one’s inner self, call fate or destiny. The most popular ones are western, eastern, Indian or Chinese astrology and are mostly based on the planets or solar system. Each method has its own merits based on certain aspects of its ‘analysis’. What’s quite amazing is that these methods can accurately predict our past and foretell our future with uncanny accuracy especially in revealing our personalities and characteristics.
Using the 4 Pillars of Destiny in Revealing, Assessment and Evaluation
One of the most popular methods used is the Four Pillars of Destiny or BaZi, a Chinese metaphysics. Its accuracy is due to the system’s ability in dissecting each human being into 12.96 million individuals, having similar fates. It takes 240 years to repeat the cycle. Such intricate categorization can predict one’s destiny and forecast one’s future with amazing precision.
BaZi adopts the five basic elements as a representation of one’s destiny in various human aspects. It also forecasts the passage of one’s lifetime in the form of luck cycles by elements, each one for a 5- year period. This Ganzhi System is based on the heavenly and earthly branch and a complete cycle is 60 years. Each year, month, day and hour are also represented by 2 elements, one for the heavenly stem and one for the earthly branch,. Each element correlates and interacts with one another with well-defined rules for interpretation, making it easier for practical application.
According to Chinese metaphysics, the concept of a person’s intelligence can be revealed by his birth data under the Four Pillars of Destiny. The Four Pillars method consists of a personalized chart for revealing one’s characteristics, personalities and other human aspects such as wealth, education, friends, status, intelligence, relationships, etc. The other chart reveals the passage of one’s life, called luck pillars. Such revelations can make an assessment on a human being’s innate intelligence and the pattern of his luck throughout his lifetime.
The luck pillars reveal the pattern of a person’s emotional behavior in the form of elemental influence in relation to the element of his luck pillar called luck. It can critically examine, diagnose, prognoses and correlate the luck cycles as an integral part of the system affecting our emotional behavior. The luck cycle explains the elementary influence reflected by the ruling element. Its theories explain the relationship between the luck pillar, year, month or day on one’s Four Pillars causing an impact and dictating our behavior. Any positive impact is considered good luck, a neutral impact as mixed luck, whilst a negative one is poor luck.
