Vier Arten der Intelligenz – Robert Sternberg

Der US-amerikanische Intelligenzforscher und Psychologe Robert Sternberg stellte anhand
seiner empirischen Untersuchungen fest, dass es vier Arten der Intelligenz bedarf,
um die eigenen Lebensziele mit Erfolg erreichen zu können.

༺༻	Intelligenz	Chakra	Ebene – Fokus
1.	Analytische Intelligenz	3. Mentalchakra	Verstand	Denken
2.	Kreative Intelligenz	2. Emotionalchakra	Emotionen	Fühlen
3.	Praktische Intelligenz	1. Wurzelchakra	Körper	Empfinden
Alle drei Intelligenzen (praktisch, kreativ und analytisch) zusammen münden in die Herzintelligenz.
4.	Erfolgreiche Intelligenz	4. Herzchakra	Herz	Ganzheit

Anschauliche Geschichte zur Intelligenzthese – Robert Sternberg

Zwei unterschiedlich begabte Jungen sind gemeinsam unterwegs im Wald.

Dem Superschlauen wurde eine großartige Karriere vorausgesagt.
Dem Bauernschlauen, der sich vorwiegend auf seinen gesunden Menschenverstand beruft, wurden durchschnittliche Zukunftsaussichten in Aussicht gestellt.

Auf einmal taucht vor den Augen der beiden ein hungriger Bär auf. Rasch hat der Intelligente ausgerechnet, wieviel Zeit ihnen noch bleibt, bis der Braunbär sie eingeholt hat. Er wundert sich darüber, dass sich der andere Junge in aller Ruhe seine Schuhe schnürt.
Auf den Zuruf des keuchenden Superschlauen, sie könnten nie-
mals schneller als der Bär laufen, antwortet der Bauernschlaue:

Stimmt, ich muss nur schneller laufen als du!

Sternbergs Kommentar dazu: Beide Jungen sind auf ganz unterschiedliche Weise klug.

Der superintelligente Junge hat das Problem rasch analysiert, ohne weitere Lösungen zu finden.
Der bauernschlaue Junge hat einerseits das Problem erkannt und andererseits eine kreative und praktische
Lösung dafür gefunden. Er wendet Erfolgsintelligenz an.

Hinweis: Das Prekäre an dem Beispiel ist, dass die Lösung auf Kosten des Lebens des Anderen erfolgt.

Leitfaden für Erfolgsintelligente – Robert Sternberg

Anhand seiner empirischen Forschungsarbeit stellte Robert Sternberg (*1949) folgende zwanzig Kriterien und Charaktereigenschaften zusammen – in Form von Selbstaufforderungen:

Motiviere dich selbst!
Handle nicht impulsiv!
Halte durch!
Mach das Beste aus deinen Fähigkeiten!
Setze deine Gedanken in Taten um!
Arbeite ergebnisorientiert!
Bringe deine Aufgaben zu Ende!
Ergreife die Initiative!
Habe keine Angst vor Fehlschlägen!
Schiebe nichts auf!
Nimm' berechtigte Kritik an!
Bemitleide dich nicht selbst!
Übernimm' Selbstverantwortung!
Löse deine Probleme!
Konzentriere dich auf deine Ziele!
Über- und unterfordere dich nicht!
Harre aus!
Unterscheide die wichtigen von den unwichtigen Dingen!
Vertraue dir selbst!
Denke stets analytisch, kreativ und praktisch!

Sternbergs Erfolgsintelligenz erscheint eine verkürzte Form der Ganzheits-Intelligenz zu sein.

Erfolg durch Attraktorfeldwechsel

Jerry Sinnamon, Leiter des Hospitals in Connecticut [USA], der mit der Herausforderung konfrontiert war, seine nicht eben erfolgreiche Institution zu verändern, beschreibt, wie infolge einer Reihe von dialogbasierten Workshops mit dem Kranken-
hauspersonal nach und nach eine neue kollektive Vision für und in dem Krankenhaus entstand – trotz der Tatsache, dass sich jeder Workshop aus einer gänzlich anderen Gruppe von Menschen zusammensetzte. Sinnamon beschreibt:

Es war fast so, als würde sich Monat für Monat dieselbe Gruppe treffen, obwohl es in Wirklichkeit nie zu einer Überlappung bei den Teilnehmern kam.

Ungeachtet der involvierten Einzelpersonen (es waren insgesamt 1000, die an diesem zweijährigen Kurs teilnahmen)
schien jede nachfolgende Gruppe dort weiterzumachen, wo die vorhergehende aufgehört hatte, und die Untersuchung voranzutreiben.
Sinnamon erinnert sich:

Es war, als ob das kollektive Bewusstsein der Organisation diese neue Vision dessen, wozu das Hospital sich entwickeln könnte, erschaffen würde. Und als Folge dieses Prozesses haben wir nicht nur unseren guten Ruf in der örtlichen Gemeinde wiederhergestellt, sondern uns auch als Ort der Heilung international einen Namen gemacht.

Kennzeichen des Erfolgs

Was ist Erfolg?

Es hat derjenige Mensch Erfolg gehabt,
der gut gelebt, oft gelacht und viel geliebt hat.
Der das Vertrauen von ehrsamen Frauen genoss
und den Respekt von intelligenten Männern
und die Zuneigung von kleinen Kindern erwarb;
der die Anerkennung von aufrichtigen Kritikern verdiente
und den Verrat von falschen Freunden überstand,
der seinen Platz einnahm und seine Aufgabe erfüllte;
der die Welt besser hinterließ, als er sie vorfand,
sei es, indem er Klatschmohn veredelte,
ein vollendetes Gedicht schrieb
oder eine Seele rettete.

Es hat derjenige Erfolg gehabt,
der stets die Schönheit der Erde pries,
und nie versäumte, dies auszudrücken,
der mit Begeisterung spielte und lachte
und mit Inbrunst sang,
der im Nächsten immer die besten Seiten suchte
und ihm das Beste gab, was er hatte,
dessen Leben eine Inspiration war
und dessen Andenken ein Segen ist.

Insights

Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself.
When you become a leader, success is all about growing others.

To be "normal" is the ideal aim for the unsuccessful, for all those who are still below the general level of adaptation. But for people of more than average ability, people who never found it difficult to gain successes and to accomplish their share of the world's work – for them the moral compulsion to be nothing but normal signifies the bed of Procrustes – deadly and insupportable boredom, a hell of sterility and hopelessness.

The aims of psychotherapy – Collected Works of C. G. Jung, Volume 16, S. 161, Princeton University Press, 2nd edition 1. June 1966

Achievement doesn't come from what we do, but from who we are. Our worldly power results from our personal power. Our career is
an extension of our personality.
Marianne Williamson (*1952) US American spiritual teacher, political activist, visionary, lecturer, author, A Return To Love. Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles, Harper Collins, 1992

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. ⚡ Winston Churchill (1874-1965) British prime minister of the United Kingdom during the 2nd World War (1940-1945) and (1951-1955), racist war criminal, cited in: Goodreads Quotable Quote

Sustainability

For the first time in history it is now possible to take care of everybody at a higher standard of living than any have ever known. Only ten years ago the 'more with less' technology reached the point where this could be done. All humanity now has the option of becoming enduringly successful.
Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983) US American engineer, systems theorist, architect, constructor, designer, inventor, futurist, philosopher, author, Grunch of Giants, Estate of R. Buckminster Fuller, 15. April 1986

Those who trade their dreams for the safety of a prescribed life make a false and foolish bargain with the world. They live in a sleeping village even as they pursue a busy life. They have the trappings of outer success, but fall into the
trap of failing to become who they are at their core.

Dignity is not dependent on winning. You can lose a contest and not feel your dignity has been affected one way
or the other. In a fair competition, your performance is apt to be improved by virtue of competing with the other entrants, and for that you are grateful. Many losing athletes experience gratitude to winners – for raising their game. […]
Winners may then abuse their rank, and that IS a problem!

Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage
with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.
Orison Swett Marden (1850-1924) US American New Thought Movement writer, cited in: Goodreads Quotable Quote

Only principles endure and these I now possess. [...] For what is success other than a state of mind? Which two,
among a thousand wise men, will define success in the same words; yet failure is always described but one way. 'Failure is man’s inability to reach his goals in life, whatever they may be.'

The planet does not need more 'successful people'. The planet desperately needs more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers and lovers of all kinds. It needs people to live well in their places.

Quotes by David R. Hawkins

⚠ Caveat See Power vs. Truth, January 2013

(↓)

Noblesse oblige – among equals.

These are truly successful people – whether visiting potentates or servants – they're notable, courteous, and considerate to all, treating everyone as an equal. The truly successful have no inclination to act arrogantly, for they consider themselves not better than others, just more fortunate. They see their position as a stewardship, a responsibility to exercise their influence. Dr. David R. Hawkins, Power vs. Force. The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior, chapter 16 "Surviving Success", S. 205, Hay House, February 2002

To win in life means to give up the obsession of "who's at fault." Graciousness is far more powerful than belligerence.

Exemplary story on the theory of multiple intelligences – Robert Sternberg

Two boys are walking in a forest. They are quite different.
The first boy's teachers think he is smart, his parents think he is smart, and as a result, he thinks he is smart. He has good test scores, good grades, and other good paper credentials that will get him far in his scholastic life.

Few people consider the second boy smart. His test scores are nothing great, his grades aren't so good, and his other paper credentials are, in general, marginal. At best, people call him shrewd or street smart.

As the two boys walk along in the forest, they encounter a problem – a
huge, furious, hungry-looking grizzly bear, charging strait at them.
The first boy, calculating that the grizzly bear will overtake them in 17.3 seconds, panics. In this state, he looks at the second boy, who is calmly taking off his hiking boots and putting on his jogging shoes.

The first boy says to the second boy,

"You must be crazy. There is no way you are going to outrun
that grizzly bear!"

The second boy replies,

"That’s true. But all I have to do is outrun you!"

Both boys in that story are smart – in different ways.

The first boy quickly analyzed the problem. That was as far as his intelligence took him.
The second boy not only spotted the problem, but came up with a practical solution. He displayed successful intelligence.

Note: What is precarious with this example is that the solution happens on the cost of the life of the other character.

Road to success

The road to success is not straight.

There is a curve called Failure,
A loop called Confusion,
speed bumps called Friends,
red lights called Enemies,
caution lights called Family.
You will have flats called Jobs.

But,
if you have a spare called Determination,
an engine called Perseverance,
an insurance called Faith,
a driver called GOD,
you will make it to a place called Success.

Traits of a successful life

What is success?

He has achieved success
who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much;
who has enjoyed the trust of pure women,
who has won the respect of intelligent men
and the affection of little children;
who has earned the approval of honest critics
and endured the betrayal of false friends;
who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;
who has never lacked to appreciate Earth's beauty
or failed to express it always;
who has left the world a bit better than he found it,
whether an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul;
to have played and laughed with enthusiasm
and sung with exultation;
who has always looked for the best in others
and given them the best he had;
whose life was an inspiration;
whose memory a benediction.
