Read the passage carefully and answer question

Intelligence is associated with academic achievement by most people. The various theories of intelligence created by psychologists hold that there are two kinds of academic intelligence-verbal and mathematical or logical. Intelligence is an inherited trait that impacts individual behavior and performance according to most experts. But, many research studies have revealed that the environment greatly impacts the development of intelligence. Since one property of intelligence is analytical and reasoning skills, people with high intelligence quotient will understand the problem at hand better that people with a low IQ. Many organizations consider intelligence as an important criterion while recruiting. For instance, in many management schools, a lot of weightage is given to high IQ while admitting students or recruiting faculty members. The qualities of intelligent people are high energy drive, achievement, and competitiveness. Very intelligent employees learn job – related skills and other organisational practices quickly and organisations have to spend less time training them. People with high intelligence have good decision-making abilities due to their good analytical and reasoning skills. With a high achievement drive, they are mostly very productive. As the saying goes, ‘A wise enemy is better than a foolish’ friend; Even with such a high IQ, very intelligent people may not always be very happy. The high IQ makes them dysfunctional leading to anxiety and depression. Generally speaking, people with high intelligence the quotient is often dissatisfied with people.
