PsyQ®
Linda Roethlisberger was the first who used the term PsyQ® as an abbreviation for the combination of rational intelligence (IQ), emotional intelligence (EQ) and spiritual intelligence (SQ) (1). Therefore the ‘formula’ IQ+EQ+SQ=PsyQ®. It should emphasize their dynamic interplay and present PsyQ as short term for the integrally emerging, psychodynamic or psychospiritual intelligence. PsyQ is also understood as fundamental ‘human potential’ since these three forms of intelligence are seen as essential skills to cope with life (2), to face existence (3).
PsyQ® was registered as a trademark by Roethlisberger in many European countries and USA.
