We believe in a cognitive intelligence quotient, and some of us believe in an emotional intelligence quotient. Do believe in a moral intelligence quotient? All books should hopefully train one of these (assuming that cognitive and emotional can be trained.) Which books train moral intelligence to the greatest degree?

Usually highly intelligent individuals have a certain disdain for morality.

If you compare logic and morality, there is a definite difference in actions people do. Think tipping wait staff. The logical guest tips according to the service provided so that they will hopefully improve their service over time. The moral guest tips generously even if he wasn't attended as much as he wanted because he can put himself in the waiter's shoes. I personally believe you can be both morally and cognitively intelligent, but that is probably pretty rare.

thats why i cinfrimed that there is in fact an intelligence (capacity) that evades traditional logic, call it emotional intelligence, spirtual intelligence, moral intelligence whatever, its a way of measuring virtue, not numerically of course, circumstantially. That is why Intelligent does not equal wise. Wisdom is the practice of virtues. Logic is the practice of reasoning. But to be fair virtuosity is embedded with reasoning as well. but still both capacity and practice are different.

you know that guy in your picture, got killed once, got nursed back to health, then got himself killed again, intentionally both times to protect the truth, not earthly logic, but spiritual virtue but reasoning that God will give him strength, that is faith essentially, great faith he had

These people are brainlets that believe in a long discredited concept because they like the sound of it.

> Do believe in a moral intelligence quotient?

No because you just conjectured it on the spot and have no idea if it exists.

Research has been done on moral intelligence- to the point that many believe it does exist. I never said that there is a quotient for it, I was just asking if you think it is measurable.
