2EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
Introduction
Self-analysis is the best way to understand the strengths and the weaknesses that are
present within the individuals. This helps in developing a clear and organized plan that helps in
understand ding about the steps needed to overcome the drawbacks and the strategies for
nurturing the strengths.
PART 1
I have taken two tests namely the Global Leadership Foundations' Global Emotional
Intelligence test and the EQ test of Daniel Goleman (Goleman & Boyatzis, 2017). These two
tests have helped me immensely in order to understand the strengths and weaknesses that are
present within me. I found this test to be very useful as they have helped me to compare my test
results with my friends and colleagues. I have used the Johari Window in order to understand the
good qualities that are present within me and also the hidden aspects within me that I am
unaware of (Markey et al., 2018).

3EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
Open/self-area or arena
This part of the model deals with the qualities and the trends that are known to the person
and also to the colleagues. Feedback solicitation' is a process which occurs by understanding and
listening to the feedback from another person. Getting feedback from other persons has helped
me to understand the qualities that are known to me and also to my colleagues. The quality that
is known to my colleagues and to me as well is that of self-management. I know how to deal
with changing situations and maintain an honest nature. It is also known to me and my
colleagues that I am of responsible nature and carry on my tasks properly
Blind self or blind spot
This refers to the information that is known to others but is kept hidden from the person. I
have come to know that my colleagues were aware that I am good at relationship management.
Thus I rated myself 1 whereas the score of both my colleagues was 4. This shows that I can use
self-management technique in future.
Hidden area or façade
This part talks about that information that is known to me but hidden from my colleagues
is self-awareness and social awareness. I know that I am aware of my strengths and weakness.
However my colleague's fee that I still need to work over this particular aspect.
Unknown area
This part talks about qualities that are not known to anyone. I might develop these trends
as the demand for future situations.
