Self-Assessment
Objectives
1. To help you assess your emotional intelligence.
2. To expand your knowledge of the new interpretation of intelligence.
Introduction
Employers have long been guided by one dimension of our personality, our intelligence
quotient (IQ). However, a number of researchers and observers of human behavior have been
examining components of intelligence that include emotions. Your emotional intelligence (EI)
includes your abilities to motivate yourself and persist even when you are frustrated, to
control your impulses and delay gratification, to regulate your mood and keep distress from
overwhelming your thinking ability, to empathize with others, and to hope. The recognition
of the emotional dimension to intelligence is vital today in a world of constant change and
increased stress. Having a sense of your own EI is fundamental to being successful. The
purpose of this exercise is to determine your own EI.
