Construct an essay differentiating between the common idea of intelligence quotient (IQ) and the contemporary emphasis upon what analysts are calling both emotional intelligence (EQ) and social intelligence (SQ). What are the differences? Can you think of specific examples of how people can have one and not the other? Furthermore, include in your analysis a police example or two of how the oft-cited idea that police work is about "common sense" relates to these two rather new ideas in the world of interpersonal relations. Given the emphasis on constitutional law and sociological/criminological theory today, we know that academic intelligence is absolutely critical for the professional police officer. And yet, it is still true that without common sense (in today's parlance, emotional

intelligence/social intelligence) it is impossible to develop competence in police work.
