Introduction
The purpose of this report is to analyze the results when I conducted an emotional
intelligence test and how the E.Q test can be used for human resource purposes. Emotional
intelligence or E.Q is the ability of a person to know his or her emotions, weaknesses, strengths,
goals and values and their impact on other people while also using their gut feelings in order to
guide their decisions( Ang, and Van Dyne, 2015). Emotional intelligence involves redirecting or
controlling one’s impulses and disruptive emotions to changing circumstances. The E.Q test was
done at a physician’s center.
Analysis
The ideal objective for doing E.Q tests is not getting high scores but to find a good
balance. When I conducted the test my score for flexibility was 60 and a normal range is around
40-145. This therefore means that the low score was not necessarily bad. My score for self-
awareness was 121 and that means the score was fundamentally good and can be interpreted to
mean that I am more aware of what was happening around me. It can also mean that I am
focusing more on my own feelings than what is around me (Carson, Carson, and Birkenmeier,
2016).
The scores on my empathy and interpersonal relationships were high which means I
enjoy socializing with people at the work place. A high empathy score means that people tend to
confide more in me and am able to give them solutions. A high emotional self-awareness means
that i pay a lot of attention when my body gives me physical signals that something is not well.
