1EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE, CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE AND DIVERSITY
Introduction
The personality and emotional intelligence varies from one person to another. We all
have different perspectives on self and on others. Thus, the way I view myself is rarely the
same with how others view us (Goleman, Boyatzis and McKee 2013). This is the reason that
for which we should have a clear idea about the about our personality traits and also the
strengths and weaknesses that we possess. This evaluation of self can be done using the
Johari Window, which is a self-evaluation model developed by Joseph Luft and Harry
Ingham in the year 1995 (Saxena 2015). There are four quadrants in this model that collects
data on unknown area, open area, hidden area and blind area. The emotional intelligence and
capability as well as different personality and competence aspects are analyzed through this
model. In this essay, I will compare and analyze the results of my personality test done by me
and my peers. The information gathered in the analysis will be evaluated through Johari
model in order to better understand my personality.
Discussion
Comparison of tests results
In order to find out about my emotional intelligence competency I took two tests. One
is Global Leadership Foundation’s Global Emotional Intelligence Test (GEIT) and the other
is Daniel Goleman’s EQ test. In the first test I scored 8 in Self Awareness, 4 in Self-
Management, 6 in Social Awareness and 8 in Relationship Management. The result shows
that I have high self-awareness and relationship management skills. This skill helps in self-
reflection and building confidence as I am able to recognize my emotions and the reactions
that I have in different emotional situations (Batool 2013). I also have high score in social
awareness which implies that this will enable me to establish relationships with people

around me more easily as I have high emotional intelligence and organizational awareness.
The results also indicate that my self-management and social awareness needs work to
improve.
In another test that I took, the Daniel Goleman’s EQ test, I scored 51. It indicates that
I have average emotional intelligence and share good relationship with some people. the
score implies that there are opportunities for me to improve my score and relationship with
people. By working on Self-Regulation and empathy, I will be able to build a strong network
with people around me.
I also invited two of my colleagues to evaluate their understanding of me through both
the tests and the result that they present is varied in nature. Colleague 1’s test shows that my
social awareness skill is high along with relationship management while my self-awareness
and self-management is quite low. This means that the colleague perceives that the
relationship that I share with pother could be improved. According to colleague 1, I need to
work on Self-awareness and Self-management (McCleskey 2014). This colleague also took
Goleman’s test and shows a score of 45. The aspects that I lack in that test are self-regulation
and motivation. The test shows that the colleague believes that I need work on my self-
regulation skills.
When peer 2 conducted those tests, the GEIT score shows that I have average score in
self-awareness, less than average score in self-management and social awareness and poor
score in relationship management. The Goleman’s test of peer 2 shows a score of 53. The
self-awareness aspect of this test is quite poor and it seems that I need to work on that.
I analyzed my score using the Johari window model to analyze the open, blind, hidden
and unknown quadrant of my emotional intelligence (Tran 2016). The open quadrant shows
that my most dominant trait is social awareness as the majority of the results show this.. The
