Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Assessment

Decent Essays
The results I received from the Emotional Intelligence (EQ) assessment is 88/100. The assessment provided me very good insight in how I interact with others because it analyzed how I respond to others and situations that occur in everyday life. I believe the assessment helped me to understand how to important it is to manage myself properly when I am around others such as family and friends. Self-management, Self-awareness, and self-motivation are elements of emotional intelligence. I am always aware of my emotions and how other people are feeling. There are many times where I can tell whether a person is angry or happy and what they are concerned about.

The advice I would give someone who had a low emotional intelligence is to think about

    Paul Ekman’s book, “Unmasking the Face: A Guide to Recognizing Emotions from Facial Expressions,” is incredibly informative and contains information as well as examples and pictures to ensure the reader’s understanding. Instead of going straight into the facts, he introduced why reading someone’s emotions could be important, where it could be used, and why someone would want to obtain such a skill set.

No matter how good you may be, or think you may be at hiding your emotions, the truth is that it is actually easy to tell how you actually feel. Paul Ekman goes into depth on every single emotion.…

Despite happiness being the goal in everybody's life, showing emotions such as sadness, fear, and anger are important as well because they produce positive outcomes.…

    Emotional Intelligence I believe I am lacking emotional intelligence because I don’t always manage my emotions well, but I can stay motivated when things are difficult in my life. There are many examples I could use, but I feel like the most recent would work best. Just a couple weeks ago I experienced myself acting irrationally towards my parents and I was neglecting their feelings, it all started when I began college. My parents were having a hard time with the transition of me not being home anymore and they were always calling and texting me wanting to know what I was doing, and it became very aggravating. My parents became too overwhelming and would not leave me alone, I eventually just stop responding for a while or when I was…
