Interpersonal intelligence is the
ability to understand other people. It
is to be able to see what motivates them, how they work and how to work
cooperatively with them. Interpersonal
intelligence is the inward sense of being able to understand oneself, to form
an accurate model of oneself and to operate that model effectively to live
life. Professor Howard Gardner of the
Harvard School of Psychology tells that the two aspects of personal
intelligence, interpersonal and intrapersonal, form the most important
foundation for a happy, fulfilling life.
To those who define success as happiness, these two elements can be the
bedrock of a happy life.
Sensitive people can empathize
with others. They can understand the
feelings of others as though they were feeling it themselves. This skill involves being able to pick up
subtle verbal, tonal and non–verbal signals from others. Charismatic leaders are able to reach others
by breaking the barrier that exists between people. A charismatic speaker can make thousands of
people react like one mind.
The Upanishads say that the
divine spark or life force exists in all—the leader, the leper, the judge and
the criminal.
