EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
1
Introduction
One of the most important requirement of the human race is to understand the emotions
they are feeling and experiencing (Devis-Rozental 2018). It is believed that the actions of the
individuals are heavily guided by such emotional experiences. The character of a person depends
on the way they behave with the other people of the society (Panait 2017). In this respect, the
essay has conducted two different tests known as the Global Leadership Foundation’s Global
Emotional Intelligence Test (GEIT) and the Daniel Goleman’s EQ test. The results of these tests
have been analyzed in order to understand my own psychological frame of mind.
Part 1: Comparison of the results of the tests
The mental frame of mind of an individual depends on the emotions that is experienced
by them. In this regard, several psychologists have tried to map the feelings and emotions as
experienced by the people. One of the mechanisms to do this is that of the Johari window which
was established in the year 1955 (Tran 2016). There are four different ‘windows’ of this model
which enables the researcher to understand the emotions of the participant individual.
In the Global Leadership Foundation’s Global Emotional Intelligence Test (GEIT), it can
be observed that I scored the highest in my social awareness skills (8) and I also got a 5 in my
self-awareness skills. This shows that I am well aware of the social skills that is required of me.
These attributes fall under the “Open” window of the Johari Window Model as such attributes
are perceived to be inherent in me by both myself and my peer group (Neubauer et al. 2018). The
test result also showed that I need to work on my relationship management skills and the self-
management skills.
However, the results that I received from my peers revealed that my self-awareness skills

are not that high. This shows that there are certain attributes of myself which I think I possess but
in reality, they are not perceived by the other individuals of the society. These attributes fall
under the “Hidden” window of the Johari Window Model as I perceive myself as a more self-
aware person (Petrides et al. 2016).
The results that were derived revealed that I needed to work on my self-management
skills and the relationship skills where I scored a 2 and a 3 respectively. This shows that I do not
have the necessary skills to communicate effectively with the other members of the society.
The second test that was conducted was that of Daniel Goleman’s EQ test. In this test, I
got a score of 49. According to this test and the score received, it has been observed that my
level of emotional intelligence is moderate. I have a relatively good level of communication with
my own colleagues but I often find it difficult to work with those with whom I am not
comfortable.
Part 2: Evaluation of strengths and weaknesses
The results of the tests revealed that I have certain inherent weaknesses as well as
strength. The understanding of much different emotional factors is needed as it would help me to
understand myself in a better manner (Christie, Jordan and Troth 2015). The analysis of the
results showed that my greatest strength is that of social awareness. This means that I have the
necessary social skills to interact with people. This is needed in a work place situation where
communicating with the employees is the primary objective of the other members of the business
firm (Caruso, Bhalerao and Karve 2016).
However, it is the weakness which needs to be focused on by an individual. In other
words, the weakness of an individual should be improved upon in such a manner that the do not
