Physical Intelligence is the ability to actively manage your physiology to achieve a differentiated level of performance. How can you identify your level of physical intelligence?
Read through these characteristics to see where you stand in your Physical Intelligence.
People with High Physical Intelligence…
- Use posture and breathing techniques to maintain a positive approach to problem solving while taking responsibility for their mood and mental alertness
- Are aware of the physical aspects of their emotions and have a high level of emotional intelligence
- Understand boundaries and exercise self-control
- Are physically relaxed under most circumstances, using energy and muscular tension efficiently
- Have explored and fine-tuned their personal impact in selling, presenting, influencing and one-to-one relationships
- Exude natural confidence and authority. What they say carries ‘weight’ and they appear spontaneous and genuine
- Can think well on their feet by applying grounding/centering techniques
- Notice body language in people around them and respond accordingly
- Are inspiring, enthusiastic and clear communicators because their body and their message are aligned
- Nurture and develop their people by listening, watching, becoming attuned to their potential
- Their eye contact is direct and they come across as trustworthy and clear thinking
- Are relaxed and at ease in their own skin so that creative, lateral or alternative thinking comes easily, enabling projects to succeed well, and people to thrive; life is serious fun
People with excellent Physical Intelligence…
- As a matter of habit are able to consistently notice and interpret subtle changes in their own physical state, and link this to their emotional and mental states; they use this intelligence as a sort of internal radar, and act on the information where necessary as soon as possible
- Are consistently noticing and monitoring physical signs in their environment and the people around them and use these signs to ask questions and resolve issues – rather like advanced driving techniques
- Expect and achieve a high degree of well-being for themselves and for people around them
- Are at ease with themselves, creative and good at developing people; they and their people thrive beyond initial expectations and share surprising success stories that attract business-wide interest
