Emotional Intelligence
After taking the Queendom.com emotional intelligence test I was able to discover many important character weakness as well as strengths that I have. During this writing I will like to take some time to reflect on the results of this test. I would also like to explain the meaning of emotional intelligence and why it is important. Last but not least I would also like to help find ways to enhance our emotional intelligence.
The results came in and at the time were very surprising. My strengths were what I expected them to be and the one that stood out was · “You are driven toward further self-development”, this seems to be the most like me and to me is my main strength. I believe that I’m not where I need to be and I’m motivated to get to that point. My potential strengths were questionable because despite the results I think I’m very aware of my strengths and weaknesses. My limitations all seemed valid I have a lot of emotional weaknesses and they are mostly social. So overall the results were surprising but accurate and eye opening.

    My top five strengths for the strength finder test were deliberate, adaptability, maximize arranger, and consistency. For once I can say I’m actually satisfied with a computerized test about myself. One thing I can say about my results from this strength finder it’s a lot more accurate when it comes to the qualities I posses. My results do not match up close to previous held beliefs about myself. I am typically seen as the kind of person to play the leadership role in just about anything. The point of view from others of me being a leader is completely off, I feel the complete opposite. I am more of an observer, and I learn from not only the mistakes of others, but mine as well. The vocal portion of leadership is what I am not too fond. I could lead with actions, but vocally I’m not as sharp. Not only that, but I generally go off simply instincts, and not what is planned. Maximizing my strengths can happen in various ways. Arranger is a strength that can be maximized by more preparation and better using more time for organization. I believe there’s no such thing as being over prepared. Adaptability is a strength I could improvise on by being aware with a lot more situations so when the time comes I will be able to adapt in the best way possible. All of the strengths of mine can be maximized by me realizing what makes that strength of mine and not focusing on my weaknesses. The more I focus on my weaknesses the more ill back track. An individual cannot build performance on weaknesses, but one can on strength. Majority of the fields in business best suit my strengths. In a business environment consistency is huge. The more consistent person gains the most respect. The more consistent you are, the more reliable you’ll be seen as. If you’re seen as more reliable by your co workers they’ll enjoy your presence. Blind spots may result from overextending the maximize strength. You can by overextending the maximize strength by simply over…

    The strengths that were not revealed through any of the assessments or the 360 feedback are idealistic, seek/value harmony, open-minded, flexible, passionate, energetic spirit, and dedication. I believe this was the case because I was an intern and had no power within my agency.

    Top Five Strengths

    On my first assessment, my top five strengths were empathy, harmony, consistency, restorative, and includer. This was not a surprise because I love having connections with others so I expect to have more relationship based strengths. Yet, this time around my top strengths were restorative, positivity, harmony, input, and responsibility. My initial thought was that I had lost empathy and consistency, and I had become a horrible person with no human emotions. However, after much consideration and speaking with others I realized that empathy and consistency were now my number ix and seven and that everything happens for a reason. However, I was happy and excited to see an increase in executing and strategic since my last strength assessment.…

    While I do enjoy challenges, I disagree that I feel “dissatisfied” if I do not finish my tasks and that I “must achieve something tangible in order to feel good about [my]self”. I appreciate downtime and relaxing so I find it hard to relate to those aspects of the achiever strength. My SWOT analysis somewhat fits with my Signature Themes. For example, I listed emotional intelligence and leadership as some of my strengths, and my Signature Themes included empathy and developer, which correlate with my self-identified strengths. In contrast, I listed procrastination as one of my weaknesses when achiever is apparently one of my strengths. While I can achieve even though I procrastinate, those two habits of mine seem to fight each other. As I search for internships, I expect to use my adaptability strength to approach new situations with an open mind and to be flexible when it comes to working in a new position. I could also use my achiever strength to be persistent in my search for an internship and not give up until I reach my…

Goleman pointed out that ‘success’ in life depends not only on our IQ as measured by our literacy and numeracy skills but, more importantly, on how well we know our own emotional make-up, manage our emotional responses and react to the emotional responses of others.…
