Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to establish the practical usage of the Consciousness Quotient in the field of educational psychology. The basic hypothesis of this study was to determine the incremental validity brought by the Consciousness Quotient in the prediction of academic performance. The study is based on 138 participants from the Ecological University of Bucharest, Romania. The “Consciousness Quotient Inventory” (CQ-i) and “General Ability Measure for Adults” (GAMA) are used to evaluate the Consciousness Quotient and the Intelligence Levels. The results confirm the influence of the Consciousness Quotient in academic performance appraisal.
