EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE ASSESSMENT
This assessment deals with aspects of Emotional Intelligence
A Brief Intro
Not education. Not experience. Not knowledge or intellectual horsepower. None of these serve as an adequate predictor as to why one person succeeds and another doesn’t. There is something else going on that society doesn’t seem to account for. And that aspect is called Emotional Intelligence.
Emotional Intelligence if taken into its simple form is – awareness of, understanding, and dealing with our own emotions and emotions of others around us and how emotions influence our lives so fundamentally every day.
Research on Emotional intelligence suggested that
Emotions can help us and they can hurt us, but we have no say in the matter until we understand them. This assessment will help you to identify your Emotional Intelligence levels in its five important areas and let you know in which areas you are strong and in which areas you need to work to have a meaningful, significant, and happy life. Thios assessment will help you to assess yourself in the following five areas of Emotional Intelligence :
- Self-awareness
- Self-management
- Empathy
- Relationships
- Motivation and resilience
Impact of Emotional Intelligence**
Not only in our personal lives but also in our professional lives the impact off Emotional Intelligence is huge. Emotional Intelligence is so critical to success that it accounts for 58 percent of performance in all types of jobs. Its the singly biggest predictor of performance in the workplace and the strongest driver of leadership and personal excellence.
In order to be successful and fulfilled nowadays, we must learn to maximize our Emotional Intelligence (EQ) skills.
**NOTE: Peter Salovey and John D. Mayer coined the term ‘Emotional Intelligence‘ in 1990 describing it as “a form of social intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one’s own and others’ feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them, and to use this information to guide one’s thinking and action”. But in 1995, Daniel Goleman’s book “Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ.” popularized this concept in the mainstream.
Self-Assessment
As we described earlier above that in simple terms Emotional Intelligence is the ability to know, understand ad manage our own emotions and emotions of others, it is also to note that Emotional Intelligence is a skill that can be developed and improved and is not fixed as temperament and IQ. And that’s why we can see at what level we are at in those five important aspects of Emotional Intelligence and improve upon them if required.
This self-assessment will help you discover your Emotional Intellkignrec Quotient.
NOTE: Though these questionnaires are for self-assessment the best results you will get when you discuss the result with your coach.
Take Your Emotional Intelligence Assessment
A brief Into
There is 30 general life statement in the assessment. Each statement describes a situation or event in our lives and we need to rate our response to those situations by giving each statement a score from 1 to 5 using the following key scale:
- 1 = Rarely like me
- 2 = Occasionally like me
- 3 = Sometimes like me
- 4 = Often like me
- 5 = Always (or almost always) like me
Example
Statement: When I feel someone is creating pressure on me I feel suffocated but could not express my feelings.
If your response to this statement it as “Often like Me” you will write 4 if your response is “Rarely like me” you will write 1.
Once completed, transfer your answers on to the results sheet and discover your current EQ levels.
Read it carefully before taking the Emotional Intelligence Assessment
It is a pen & paper assessment, as we believe that when you do it by sitting with yourself, uninterrupted and noting down your responses to the situations and statements with a pen on a paper, it will produce much better results in accuracy than an automated online test.
We recommend that you read the following suggestions before you take the detailed Self-Assessment for Emotional Intelligence.
- Take the assessment on a day when you are feeling relaxed and not stressed out
- Pick a cozy, comfortable place where you won’t be interrupted
- Don’t analyze or think too deeply about each statement, your first impression is usually the best
NOTE :
- For an outside view of yourself, it can be enlightening to have a partner or friend answer for you. Compare your results with your friend’s or partner’s score. If the two tallies differ, talk about both of your views
- If you are already in coaching, share the results with your coach and have a discussion over it
