Outbound: Balancing Humans’ Intelligences

 Basically human beings are endowed by God of intelligences namely intellectual intelligence, moral intelligence, social intelligence, emotional intelligence, and motion intelligence. However; somehow they do not realize them or maybe just focus on one of them. As consequence, some human beings’ roles in society do not show a harmony. In real life, it is a common phenomenon that some of them tend to rely on one of their intelligences than to balance these all intelligences. Therefore, in order to create a harmony in life, a way to bound up those five intelligences is badly needed. Outbound is becoming a popular solution to enhance human intelligences. Then how does outbound bound up these five human intelligences, this article will explain it briefly. 

Intellectual intelligence (well-known as IQ) is an intelligence that gives us the ability to calculate, to analogize, to imagine, and to be creative and innovative.  Moreover, some psychologists call it as “What I Think". In real life, sometimes some of us do not realize that we often do only prioritize our IQ. One of the characteristics of people who prioritize only on their IQ is often seeking advantage for himself/herself by doing a variety of ways. If it is profitable for him/her, whatever the risks will be taken but, if it is harmful for him/her, then he/she immediately leave it.

Those who belong to above characteristic just tend to focus on the output than the process. As consequence, they think that every way, either right or wrong, is appropriate way to be done to achieve a certain goal. This is very dangerous in human community. So, by having outbound which provides various models of the game, the participants are directed to balance their IQ that emphasizes on the understanding of the importance of a process and sustainable efforts in achieving a certain goal. By design of the game that requires more patience, the participants are asked to complete the games and challenges step by step. By having this activity, they will more appreciate the process of achieving certain goal than only focusing on the output. 

Moral intelligence (Moral Quotient-MQ) is the intelligence of human beings to know the rights and wrongs based on a strong sense of ethics and apply them in daily action. In daily life people sometimes neglect this intelligence. As a result, in doing an action people who leave this intelligence prefer to be dishonest and to do all things using all means. Honesty is no longer as a way to life but, it is just an alternative that can be left and forgotten for achieving a certain goal.

Those who are trapped in this situation tend to be such homo homini lupus, those who could sacrifice anyone for his/her ambition. Therefore, outbound will put MQ as the IQ’s companion for achieving a certain goal. So, completing games and challenges must combine both IQ and MQ. As stated on above that by having proportional IQ and MQ in completing games and challenges, participants are asked to complete the games and challenges in the right way and of course honesty becomes the key to get the true success.

Human as social beings always communicate and interact each others. They should prioritize the social values and the consensus during their involvement in society. In addition, they should have high social sense. So there will be none who is selfish, individualistic and exclusive among the others. Nevertheless, if people have low social sense, then there will be a person who only thinks about him/herself. He/she prefers to do everything by him/herself than to involve other persons for getting the best result.

Outbound games commonly will involve the cooperation and togetherness among the participants to achieve a certain goal. This is the focus of games provided in outbound that all participants are directed to complete the game by having a good team work.  So, there will be no one who can complete the challenge without others’ support. No one can achieve the target alone; he/she must need others’ hand. Here, the participants can learn how important building teamwork is and how valuable the existence of others for getting success is. So, that those who can enhance his/her social intelligence in his/her life, success is not something difficult to achieve but vice versa.  

Emotional intelligence (Emotional Quotient -EQ) can be defined as a number of human abilities to recognize emotions, to manage emotions and to express the emotion appropriately, to motivate themselves, to recognize others, and to build relationships with others. It is very easy to measure that somebody have low EQ. Those who are always angry and can’t restrain his/her anger tend to have low EQ. As the result, they are usually not able to control themselves and to blame the others even though the people who are blamed do not make a mistake.  Moreover, they face everything that happens in the world emotionally.

People who are illustrated above will get a new experience in outbound. They will be trained how to be tolerant among others, how to respect one another, and how to prioritize precision and reason in every single action rather than negative emotion. In short, they learn how to enhance their EQ. In completing the games that are designed in outbound often requires a high precision and persistence level from the participants. Here the EQ’s participants are tested. Patience that they had done during completing the game finally will produce an outstanding achievement. They have already achieved a tremendous satisfaction.

There are some people who are very busy with many activities in their life.  In whole day they can spend many hours to accomplish their various activities. Doing many things in life requires a good time management and also good planning. Here, people are badly required to be able to manage their time and also to manage their movement to accomplish all duties. People who have the ability to manage all their duties properly are classified as people who have high motion intelligence. They enjoy their activities in which require a high movement level.

Outbound provides various games that require running, jumping, and moving parts of body. It requires high mobility from the participants. They will move from one area to another area. Like or dislike, they will move their entire body to achieve the target given by the outbound’s instructor. Having a physical fitness is a reflection of person who has high motion intelligence.

Finally, enhancing the human performance by balancing those five intelligences in daily life is urgently needed to create a harmony. Who do not like a harmony in a life? Every body does like it. Therefore, to make it comes true; human being should behave properly by enhancing and balancing their intelligences. Enhancing and balancing the intelligences actually are not difficult but, sometimes we neglect one of them. If you fell that you are belong to one of people who have low intelligences, then have an outbound. It will bind up your five intelligences and train you to be a better person who has good and balance intelligence; intellectual intelligence, moral intelligence, social intelligence, emotional intelligence, and motion intelligence.
