Purpose:
Your VQ is a measure of your current capacity to make good value judgments from 36 unique perspectives. This matters because the quality of your personal and professional life is determined by the quality and value judgments you make. By taking this assessment, you will be able to identify your cognitive liability and then figure out how to leverage your assets so that you can think and utilize your best thinking in all circumstances that matter.
Sales IQ EQ vs VQ – What is the difference?
- IQ – your intelligence quotient pretty much stays the same throughout your entire life.
- EQ is your emotional intelligence. Daniel Goldman coined this 20 years ago or so and that’s been a really big thing with thought leaders on emotional intelligence in regards to being able to handle yourself properly when conflict arises, being able to keep a level head. Being able to
read people’s moods, emotions, body language, etc. - VQ – value judgment intelligence quotient. It is your ability to make decisions based on the value you perceive for yourself or the value that you’re going to be giving someone else.
World View vs Self View:
Worldview is how you perceive the world looking externally. This leads to the concept of centering others. How well are you able to relate to someone else? The VQ assessment asks questions like: What is this person feeling or experiencing right now? What would it be like to be in their shoes living their life? What really matters to them and how could I make the biggest difference for them at this moment? What is good or unique about them that is worthy of appreciation? Self-view is how you perceive yourself looking internally. Are you able to enjoy who you are? Are you able to find value within yourself and what you do, or is there an issue there?
Perspectives:
