Abstract

After completing the emotional intelligence quiz I have really learned a lot about myself. Taking the emotional intelligence tests has helped me to improve in my job performance, career potential, relationships, health and my overall well-being. Taking this test has help me to see that we as human beings are not perfect and at that we all should be continuously working on become better human beings. My test reviled to me that I need to start putting my needs before others sometimes so I don't feel as though I'm always taking care of others that I don't have time for myself. I all so learned that I have issues when it comes to remaining positive when it comes to situations people around us often notice or flaws before we do. With that being together let's continue to understand emotional intelligence.

There are many other ways that we can recognize our emotional intelligence such as reasoning with emotions. Our bodies have to use our emotions to begin our thinking process and to spark the cognitive activity in our brain. The emotions that we obtain can help make us more aware of where we are placing all of our attention and what we respond to. ( Psychology, Thorndike)

"All learning has an emotional base", this quote was said by one of the greatest Greek philosophers Plato. The idea that emotions are the bases of learning is the foundation of emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence was the term coined by psychologist John Mayer and Peter Salovey. It referred to the ability for an individual to observe, manage and assess their emotions. There were many researchers who believed that individuals could learn and strengthen their emotional intelligence, and others claimed it to be an innate trait that people were born with. Nonetheless both agreed that emotional intelligence was an essential tool needed to make assessments of emotions in one self and in others (Sternberg, 2000, p. 300). When it comes down to being happy in life our emotional intelligence plays a very major part in the decisions we make throughout life.
