Emotional Intelligence and Social Awareness
Under the self-awareness competency, the score was 22 out of 25, the positive outlook was 18, self-control was null, and adaptability was 14 while empathy was 13. From the results, it is evident that I need to work more on my self-control competencies, flexibility and empathy competencies of emotional intelligence. Self-control is achievable if one gets to resist those gratifications that come with technology and other interruptions (McKee, 2015). Therefore, this will facilitate an individual to take care of their mind and body, which is related to the self-control capacity. I can achieve this if I am mindful of the thoughts and feelings of other people.
In adaptability competency, it is essential to understand why change is hardly embraced despite the benefits associated with it. Therefore, I will need to get out of my comfort zone thereby strengthening my resilience. Empathic will require me to improve my listening ability that requires me to take time when it comes to hearing and learning from other people in the organization (McKee, 2015). I used to believe that I am an empathic individual but the results of the quiz confirmed that I was not. Honestly, we should not be judgmental because people can easily confirm our emotional intelligence through interaction.
The questions from the quiz are quite simple, and one can assume that they will score high in some areas, but that is not the case. Therefore, it is necessary to reflect back on what emotional intelligence is all about to adequately equip oneself with the competencies in question. Emotional intelligence looks at emotions from one’s perspective to that of other people. Through feelings, one can drive their behavior and impact people wither negatively and positively (Goleman, Boyatzis & McKee, 2001). Overall, it is essential to learn how to manage the emotions, especially when under pressure for the good of others and oneself.
