Intelligence Quotient (IQ) refers to a standardized measure of human intelligence. The standard is dependent on deviations that an individual makes. According to psychologists, all individuals have a presumed IQ of 100. The standard deviation of 30 implies that an individual may fall short of 100 or exceed the standard. Hence, IQ ranges between 70 and 130. IQ scores help humans to predict achievement, needs or even performance of individuals (Bradberry & Greaves, 2009). Considering global trends and empirical data, human IQ seems to rise by an average of 3 scores across the world for every decade. As such, it is not surprising that the intelligence of the American recruits has risen by 24 scores since the World War I. The phenomenon where the average intelligence rise across the world and overtime is known as the Flynn Effect. It implies that the world will have people of higher intelligence in the future whose mental faculties will mature at an accelerated rate. There are various explanations of the Flynn effect. While Flynn does not agree that, the increment in IQ gains contributes to the effect, other proponents point out several issues that they see as important in enhancing IQ gains. Antonakis et al. (2009) say that education levels have risen across the world and consequently, the literacy levels have increased. People are currently directing huge proportion of their disposable incomes to education, both formal and informal. To that end, it is logical to attribute increased value for learning and education to IQ gains. Second, they articulate that social dynamics and changes have contributed to IQ gains by global population. Societies are currently under the pressure to work within time spans that prompt adaptation of human IQ and other cognitive aspects to respond to pressure posed by time limits. Another potential cause for the massive IQ gains is the improved nutrition and diet across the world. While it is true, that improved access and availability of nutritious food increases with time, so is the IQ gain (Martins et al., 2010). Nonetheless, debate rages on to the actual causes of rise in intelligence levels since there are other factors at play beyond the few above. Besides, the reliability of IQ score as a method to measure intelligence has been under severe criticism since the components of intelligence remain partially unknown. In fact, it is arguable that IQ is in itself a component of intelligence. Similarly, the IQ gain comprising the Flynn effect has elicited different perspectives and theories. The great divide in competencies refers to the gap that exists between emotions and the body. It is important as it helps people to understand various ways they can manage their social, professional and emotional skills. In addition, it facilitates the growth of emotional intelligence that reflects the combination of thoughts and feelings. To the contrary, human beings have competences that are purely cognitive such as logical thinking and reasoning. The great divide is important since it helps in the management of self-awareness as we strive for personal competence (Bradberry & Greaves, 2009). This entails ability to gain emotional
