Then developed the term EQ (emotional quotient) that shows how much a person's emotional intelligence. The next development was the emergence of the term SQ (Spiritual Quotient) that shows how much a person's spiritual intelligence. The latest is the term of MQ (moral quotient).

MQ (moral quotient) is the intelligence of a person in the aspect of morality. Michele Borba, Ed.D, in his book "Building Moral Intelligence", defines moral intelligence as the ability to understand right and wrong, and the establishment of strong to think and behave in accordance with moral norms. Moral intelligence is certainly a very important aspect of one's life. Therefore, moral intelligence need to be aligned with IQ, EQ, and SQ.

Parents also certainly want their children to have a good morality. Thus, parents should facilitate the child's education in a balanced manner. Thus, IQ, EQ, SQ, and MQ can develop optimally.
