According to Shirzad Chamine, our positive intelligence quotient, PQ, measures the percentage of time our mind serves us well, not sabotages us. His work exposes ten well-disguised mental saboteurs and shares how to defeat them. While IQ and EQ (emotional intelligence) contribute to our maximum potential, it is PQ that determines how much of that potential we actually achieve.
