2EMOTIONAL AND CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE
Introduction
I have conducted a self-analysis and also I contacted my colleagues and asked two of
them to solve the same questions. This helped me to gather a clear knowledge about the gap
existing between myself perception and perception of the other. I have also made use of the
Johari window.
Part 1
In this part, I will be using the Johari window and also the surveys that have been
answered by me and also by my colleagues. The result that has been obtained from the survey
that has been answered by me show that my score in the musical category is highest (32),
Linguistic is 26, Logical-mathematical is 27, Bodily-kinesthetic is 24, spatial visual is 21,
interpersonal is 30 and intrapersonal is 32. This shows that my response to the sounds and the
musical quality is higher. I am very active towards all sorts of musical effects and I can very
easily connect my feelings (happiness, joy, sadness and many other such feelings) with music.
My linguistic rating shows that reading and writing skills are also good. I can manage my
relationships well by the means of proper communication. This is indeed true as I believe
communication is one of the best ways to express emotions. My logical-mathematical skills
show that I am of a calculative mind and I can very well predict the outcomes of all the actions.
Bodily-kinesthetic skills score is 24 which shows that I am neither very active towards eye
contact nor bodily feelings. The spatial and visual score is 21 which show that I am not really
very open towards the paintings. My interpersonal skills are well developed and it shows that I
am very open towards knowing the feelings of other people. I try to be very caring and helpful
towards them. The intrapersonal slot is also 32, which shows that I believe in doing a self-

analysis in order to know my own strengths and weaknesses. Their surveys showed that my
interpersonal rating is 29 and my intrapersonal skill is 21. I tried to analyze this gap by using the
Johari window. The first window is the arena or the free elf where I saw that my predictability
and my colleague’s predictability matched and they know that I am a shy person and I try to
avoid eye contact or physical contacts like hugs, handshakes.
The second window is the blind spot that showed me the things that I didn’t know about myself
but others knew. I thought that I am very helpful to people and I am also good at self-analysis.
However, the surveys of the other two colleagues showed me that I try to help people a lot but I
am often less confident and I get frustrated easily. I often lose my patience. This is indeed very
harmful to myself and also the people whom I try to help. The third area or façade showed the
things that I know about myself but my colleagues didn’t. Musicality score was low as 20 in the
surveys completed by my colleagues. This is the second window or the blind spot as it is known
only by me that I am fond of music. My colleagues have not yet been able to discover that I am
fond of music.
The fourth area or the unknown area are some qualities that are yet to be discovered. Perhaps
I will try to work on my anger. I do not know if I have often been very rude to my peers. It is
also unknown to my colleagues that whether I have the bad habit of losing my temper very often.
Part2
I have gone through the survey results from my observations and from the observations
of my colleagues as well. I have seen from the Daniel Goleman's EQ Instrument test that my IQ
is average. I scored. I scored 105 out of 200. This shows that my weakness is my logical and
mathematical skills. I have to work more on mathematical and analytical problems. This will be
