Emotional Intelligence, Cultural Intelligence and diversity
Part one
This assignment will contain a comparative analysis premised on the level of
emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence refers to the capacity to be aware of one’s own
emotion. Daniel Coleman one of the eminent psychologist have devised 5 key element to
comprehend the level of emotional intelligence, namely self-awareness, self-regulation,
motivation, empathy and social skills (Goleman et al 2016). This paper is going to contain
the analysis made by two friend accompanied by my own analysis. According to this there
are four parameter through my emotional intelligence will be assessed, which are self-
awareness, self-management social awareness and relationship management. One of my
friend y has assessed that I am excellent with social-awareness skills, good in self-awareness
and average with my self-management and relationship management skills. Again, another
friend of mine has assessed me excellent in my self-awareness skills, good in social-
awareness, average in self-management and mediocre in relationship management skills.
According to my analysis, I have found that I am poor with my social-awareness and average
with my self-awareness and relationship management and good in self-management skills.
These results will be applied in the Johari window model, which consist of four windows
namely, Arena, Blind spot, Facade and Unknown window (Saxena 2015). This kind of
analysis is also referred as feedback model because analysis through this model will help me
to understand my level awareness both socially and psychologically. The skills of imposing
control over my emotions and impulses fall under the first window. The level of my honesty
and transparency along with my flexibility of adapting in different environment is also
something, which is known to me as well as my friends. In the quadrant two, the skills that
are not known to me but it is known to people around me comes under this quadrant. If one
becomes aware of such qualities I think, I able be able to turn the blind area into an open area

signifying a great potential of improvement. Self-awareness and the qualities regarding the
emotional awareness, self-confidence and so on falls under this second section of Johari
window. In the third window, which is referred as hidden self or the avoided self, the
qualities are known to oneself and are not known to others. Self-management and the skills
related to self-control, transparency, adaptability and achievement orientation falls under this
category. The possible reason for this may be I got less opportunity to exhibit such qualities.
The fourth window refers to the area, which is the unexplored area this section is neither
known to me nor known to others. The element that falls under this window is social
awareness.
Part two
The personality of the person entails a complex process, which is an ever-changing
phenomenon. A person is made of the feelings, experience, views, attitudes, skills, intentions,
and motivations and so on. Owing the differing circumstantial situation, the ability of the
person is moulded so is there emotional intelligence level. I believe the same thing has
happened with me. The weakness in my character is social awareness, however my weakness
is perceived differently by other people. I think this has resulted due to my lack of self-
confidence and self-esteem. However, on the ground of self-management both my friends and
my opinion merge (Jacka 2018). However, that does not mean that there is no scope of
improvement. On the grounds of self-awareness there is contrasting opinion because I believe
I have to work in it but my friends are affirmed about the talents that I possess. Relationship
management and the social aptitude is again another weakness that I need to display in front
of my social circle. Thus, my weakness is concerned with under-estimating myself over
trivial issues. Imposing excessive control over myself that has result in careening my other
