1EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
1. New insights gained on the basis of the results of the Emotional Intelligence assessment
I have scored 48 out of 50 in the overall emotional intelligence assessment of mine. As
per the insights that I have gained on the basis of my results of emotional intelligence
assessment, I have realized that I have several social skills that is highly favourable for my
emotional intelligence. I can communicate effectively with my peers and adults and at the
same time, I am a very cooperative individual as a team member. I have deep concern and
care for the members in my community and I believe that these social skills of mine will help
me in preparing myself for the success in the field of adulthood and transition. Furthermore, I
am highly self-motivated person and at the same time, hold intense empathy for others. I set
challenging goals and take measured and reasonable risks for achieving my goals. Also, I am
result oriented as I highly focus on the outcomes rather than the process that I use for
producing the very outcome. I am a dependable person as I am honest and I never hesitate to
admit my mistakes whenever I do so and also, confront the unethical actions of others. With
the same, I always try to stand for what I believe and can go a long way for achieving my
goals. By saying that I hold intense empathy for others I means that I always ensure that I pay
complete attention to the emotions, feelings and reactions of others. From the rating, I found
that I have achieved 9 on 9 on the subscale of empathy. This means that I recognise the
emotions of others and I am able to put myself in the shoes of others. I understand the reality
and perspective of others very effectively. Moreover, in the subscale of managing emotions
and self-regulation, I have achieved 8 on 9. I believe that self-management and self-
regulation are among the three significant areas of personal skills that one should have and
they make up the emotional intelligence of a person. Hence, I can say that I have a
remarkable ability of regulating and controlling my emotions.
