2 EQ ASSESSMENT AND PERSONAL REFLECTION EQ Assessment and Personal Reflection The capacity to identify, comprehend, and control one's own emotions as well as the capacity to comprehend and shape the emotions of others is known as emotional intelligence ( Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, 1999) . It entails understanding how emotions influence people's conduct and have a positive or bad effect on them. There are methods you can improve emotional intelligence, even though the idea can sometimes seem hazy or difficult to grasp. You can improve your ability to forge bonds with others and carry out joint duties by taking the time to hone and develop these talents. Your actions may be influenced by your emotions. Being emotionally intelligent might aid you in avoiding circumstances where you might act impulsively rather than according to logic. You can achieve more success in both your personal and professional lives by comprehending and controlling your emotions as well as those of others. While seeing other people and their relationships can be beneficial, keeping an eye on your own feelings and reactions can also help you become more emotionally aware. Think about how your feelings affect your choices and actions. For instance, you may observe that you become irritable with other people when you are stressed. You might also notice that your shoulders slump or that your head is cocked downward when you're depressed or angry. Exercise Reflection The first exercise, Learning Styles and Payoffs, introduces the reader to the idea of emotional intelligence right away. To determine the reader's thoughts on the value of the information on EI along with how the reader plans to use the instructional resources, three questions are asked at the start of the activities. In the following section, the authors ask their

3 EQ ASSESSMENT AND PERSONAL REFLECTION readers about learning. This portion of the exercise appeared to be designed to compel the reader to reflect about their most recent attempt at anything new. Ciarrochi and Mayer write in the conclusion that the exercise's goal was to "draw the conclusion that EI is something that we employ on a daily, in fact hourly, basis and learning how to improve these skills is as valuable and perhaps even more valuable as other skills that we have learned” (2007, p. 59). The authors write, "One aspect of managing emotions is to be able to stay open to feelings, even though they might be unwelcome," at the end of lesson three. If emotions include information, ignoring such information will frequently be foolish (p. 66). The activity gave us a lot of useful knowledge on how emotions can influence our decisions. This reader thought that the exercise's usage of the emotional blueprint was intriguing since it tied to the plot. Very intelligent people who do not take the time to first control their emotions frequently make sensible or irrational conclusions. Finding the emotional blueprint was made easier with the help of exercise four. The reader thought it to be intriguing to ponder on how one concludes. The conclusion contributed to highlighting how crucial it is to consider all available information before making a choice. According to the authors, Larry was aware that the case's facts had not been properly gathered. The absence of pure facts in this case did not, however, inspire him to participate (p. 69). The facts of this case made it clear that there were other factors at play in the decision-making process in addition to emotion. The fifth exercise, which dealt with emotional experiences, provided understanding of the relationship between our physical feelings and our emotions. Exercise six concentrated on being able to associate bodily sensations with the appropriate emotional category. These activities were
