Abstract

ABSTRACT To compute for he scores of the Culture-Fair Intelligence Test, the researcher-made EQ test and the purpose in life test, the researchers made use of the prescribed method of interpretation of data for each test. The scores are tallied and the frequency distribution and percentage were arranged in a table. SCOPE AND DELIMITATION: The respondents of this research are the out of school youth, aged 18-24, and are residents of Imus, Cavite. The data for this research are solely dependent on the scores derived from the research instruments. The IQ is measured using the Culture-Fair Intelligence Test, while emotional intelligence is measured using the emotional intelligence test derived from a research paper. The purpose in life is derived through Crumbaugh and Maholick's Purpose in Life test. METHODOLOGY: The descriptive-correlational survey method was used in this research. Aside from finding out the significance of the relationship of purpose in life with intelligence statistically, this research also discusses the latter's implications for the out of school youth's purpose in life. The respondents for this study are thirty individuals who failled to undergo formal education, preferably aged 18-24. They reside within the areas of Imus, Cavite, the research setting for this study. The researchers administered the Culture-Fair Intelligence Test to obtain the IQ test scores of the respondents. Crumbaugh and Maholick's (1964; Crumbaugh, 1968) Purpose in Life (PIL) test, which was designed to operationalize Frankl's ideas and to measure an individual's experience of meaning and purpose in life, was used to measure the purpose in life of the respondents. The Emotional Intelligence test is a 25-item questionnaire taken from a thesis, which had questions formulated from concepts developed by Daniel Goleman, Peter Salovey, John Meyer, Howard Gardner, Robert Stemberg, and Jack Block (Garcia et al, 2004). Many of these items are situational and are answerable shading circles - which is in a scale form that best corresponds to the respondent's attitude towards given situations. To compute for the scores of the Culture-Fair Intelligence Test, the EQ test and the Purpose in Life Test, the researchers made use of the prescribed method of interpretation of data for each test. The scores are tallied and the frequency distribution and percentage were arranged in a table. FINDINGS: Based on the results obtained in the study, the following were generated : 1. The respondents' age ranged from 18-24. A vast number of them were single, and most of them have been out of school for 3 to 4 years. 2. There were 3.33% of the respondents who scored very low on the intelligence test; 3.33% scored low; 6.67% scored a low average; 20% scored a average, 33.33% scored a high average; 6.67% scored an above average; 20% scored as superior and 6.67% scored as very superior. 3. There were 33.33% respondents who scored low on the emotional intelligence test; 50% of them scored an average and; 16.67% scored high. 4. Three percent of the respondents scored as those with no clear meaning in their purpose in life; 17% of them were indecisive and; 80% if them are definite with their purpose in life. 5. It was found that the out-of-school youth scored relatively high on their tests, a contradiction from most of the studies that has been referred to. Furthermore, the scores from each of the tests were directly proportional with each other, that is , given that a respondent scored high on his intelligence test, that respondent also scored high on his emotional intelligence test, and did score as one of the respondents who have a definite purpose in life. The same can be observed with respondents who scored low. This means that IQ and EQ have implications for the purpose in life of the out of school youth. CONCLUSION: From the findings the researcher conclude that: 1. Most of the respondents are single and are in their late teens. 2. Majority of the respondents are emotionally intelligent and competent. 4. Majority of the respondents have a definite purpose in life. 5. IQ and EQ have implications with the purpose in life of the respondents. RECOMMENDATIONS The following are proposed given this study as a basis: 1. It is recommended that case studies be conducted on the out of school youth. This could make the research even more detailed as it is possible to find other factors that could be affecting the implications of IQ and EQ to their purpose in life. 2. Since this study focuses on the out of school youth alone, it is recommended that further studies be conducted on students as well. 3. A study conducted on a wider scale, say a different locality could also be recommended as this study wa concentrated on a single community. 4. It is recommended that on future researchers, interviewing respondents be included to the research methodology for more supporting materials from the respondents.
