Emotional Intelligence
Abstract:
Emotional intelligence is a learned response that can be changed. Emotional intelligence is simply understanding ourselves and others, and acting in the best interest of ourselves and others.
My test results of an Emotional Intelligence test from The Institute for Health and Human Potential made me quite emotional as I read them. The Emotional Intelligence test had questions that were to be answered on a sliding scale, from one side being strongly disagree to the other end being strongly agree. The questions were about my feelings on several different areas of life experiences. The questions were easy and straight forward. To me they were about common sense. There also was a short 4 part video to watch. To me it was quite silly, about a manager with a lot of emotional issues. My test results said I was slightly above average in Emotional Intelligence with room to grow. That made me smile. As I read on the results choked me up. I felt like this very informal test told more about me than I even know about myself or at least am willing to say about myself. The second test was from Queendom the land of tests and was called the Emotional Intelligence Test. This test had a few more questions than the first test. Again the questions were easy and straight forward. The questions were to be answered on a sliding scale like the first test. The questions seemed a little more personal than the first test. Both tests made me sit back and really think about my answers. The second test consisted of two parts, a self-report portion, and an ability portion. The test asses my ability to recognize my own emotions and those of others. Also how to understand how best to motivate myself and become closer to others, and to manage my feeling and the feeling of others. It also stated I was reasonably good but there was some room for improvement. Overall I am fairly skilled at understanding and dealing with
