To be more specific, individual differences include two kernel factors which refers to intelligence and personality. It is clear that individual differences are important in determining behaviour, however, there are other external factors which are equally important, such as working environment or culture within an organisation.

Parents push their children to excel in sports and other activities, so why don’t they push them to excel in academics? Students’ View of Intelligence Can Help Grades, an article by Michelle Trudeau, talks heavily on this topic. Trudeau uses Psychologist Carol Dweck’s very compelling and factual arguments in support of this topic.

I choose to take the Multiple Intelligences Self-Assessment quiz. When I taught preschool and as the trainer for my department I have learned that there are many different methods in which people learn. I have learned to adapt how I teach and train based on what is required by the learner. Due to this I was curious to determine the variety of learning methods that work best for me. I discovered that I have a broad range of ways in which I learn best. I have always excelled at learning and find that I learn fairly quickly, so this is not surprising to me. What did surprise me was that my highest percentage was naturalistic. One question that I often ask is, “Why?” I enjoy having a knowledge of how things work and the ability to understand a variety of subjects, but did not realize how highly it impacted my learning. The few categories where I scored low were music and body kinesthetic. Neither of these surprise me much. When I work and am trying to concentrate I find that music and movement is very distracting. I have learned to eliminate them when focus and concentration is crucial. The rest of the categories I scored from 49% to 63%. I feel this explains my ability to learn a broad spectrum of things quickly no matter what the method of learning is. The two areas where I scored the highest were interpersonal and intrapersonal. This explains my drive for success, ability to gain insight into a variety of situations and people, my solid foundation in who I am and what

Assessments for children who are deaf or hard of hearing require certain accommodations in order to achieve the goal of obtaining adequate information based on the child’s skills and learning disabilities. In selecting the appropriate instruments for measuring these areas, one must be aware of these accommodations and must understand that there are certain criteria to be met for effective administration and test results.

The collection of intelligence is advancing and expanding their technology along with the different department. The US intelligence agencies are the glue of the intelligence collection, for that reason, is why, since Sptember11 tragedy there hasn’t been any terrorist attacks. The September attack had really shown us the limitation of the intelligence community, however, the capability and limitations of US human and technical intelligence collection program are alarmed, in my opinion. We have immense capabilities in gathering intelligence with few limitations

“Emotional intelligence is the ability to understand and manage our emotions and those around us, therefore, this quality gives individuals a variety of skills, such as the ability to manage relationships, navigate social networks, influence and inspire others. Every individual possesses different level, but in order for individuals to become effective leaders, they will need a high level of emotional intelligence. In today’s workplace, it has become a highly important

After taking the Multiple Intelligences Self-Assessment quiz, I discovered my top three results were interpersonal with 81%, intrapersonal with 75% and linguistic with 67%. The naturally occurring characteristics associated with these intelligences are vital to be an excellent physical therapist. Individuals with a high interpersonal intelligence have a strong comprehension of social interactions and are able to empathize well with others. Empathy is a mutual understanding between the patient and practitioner. By demonstrating empathy for their patients, PTs can build strong patient-therapist relationships, ease apprehension and increase patient satisfaction. In addition to possessing interpersonal skills, excellent PTs must also have strong

Improving your emotional intelligence can be jump started by following some simple steps. Psychiatrist Dr. Norman Rosenthal (2012) suggests several steps that can enhance your emotional intelligence, many of the tips he suggests are found among the foundational skills toward successful collaboration discussed in the text by Friend and Cook (2013). Both Rosenthal and Friend and Cook place not interrupt or changing the subject high among skills that will help you to become a better listener. Listening with your whole body and being aware of physical sensations of stress will allow you to process your thoughts with the power of reason (Rosenthal, 2012). Additionally, all of the authors suggest avoiding prejudgments and making faulty assumptions. By not making assumptions and judgments before all of the information about a topic or conflict has been given prevents a thorough thought process from taking place. Rosenthal follows up this step with two additional steps that require the listener to seek to make connections with their own thoughts. He states that "listening to your feelings is like listening to all of the witnesses in a court case. Only by admitting all of the evidence will you be able to reach the best verdict" (2012). I think this advice makes an excellent tie into Friend and Cook 's suggested listening skills namely, establishing listening goals, and focusing on the content and context of the spoken message (p. 67-68). When a conflict arises it is important to be

Emotional intelligence is an important characteristic in becoming a good leader. “Emotional intelligence is the ability to manage oneself and one's relationships in mature and constructive ways” (Kinicki & Kreitner, 2009, p.137).Being a good leader entails more than just being smart; leaders need to be able to connect to their employees emotionally and empathetically. Organizations today not only look for leaders with the skills, but leaders that can emotionally connect to employees to obtain the organization’s goal. “Leaders have always played a primordial emotional role. No doubt humankind’s original leaders-whether tribal chieftains or shamanesses-earned their place in large part because their leadership was

In our everyday lives, we are constantly interacting with other individuals. These interactions have an effect on our emotions. We have to learn how to identify and deal with these emotions because they have a direct effect on how we deal with issues at work. Individuals can work their way through this process by becoming aware of the importance of emotional intelligence.

During high school, I read world renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck’s research on achievement and success and I have been immediately fascinated by her growth versus fixed mindset findings. Dweck conducted research where she gave fifth graders problems that were too hard for them and monitored their reactions; some students understood that they weren’t good at the problems yet, but they would learn from the challenge. Other students felt their intelligence had been up for judgement and they didn’t believe they could improve so they failed. I became intrigued by why some students possess a view that intelligence is incremental based on effort and some believe that intelligence is unchanging. I came to the realization that I was one of the students with a fixed mindset and worked incredibly hard to adopt a growth mindset.
