Reflective Essay Report: Emotional Intelligence Assessment 1 - MBA502

This report presents a reflective essay based on an Emotional Intelligence (EI) assessment for the MBA502 course. The assignment required the student to complete the Global Leadership Foundation's Global Emotional Intelligence Test (GEIT) and Daniel Goleman's EQ Instrument, as well as have two peers complete the same tests. The student was then tasked with analyzing the results, using the Johari Window to compare self-assessment with peer feedback. The essay demonstrates an understanding of EI quadrants (Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social-Awareness, and Relationship Management) and reflects on the implications of the assessment results for personal development and leadership capabilities. The essay incorporates the provided GEIT results and the descriptions of each EI quadrant to provide a comprehensive analysis and self-reflection.

The following numerical scores are calculated from your answers to the EI questionnaire. If you have answered honestly and accurately, your scores, out of 10
for each quadrant, will reflect your capability level within each of the EI quadrants. (You might want to print out this result; if you do not, you will have to retake
the test if you want these scores later since they are not saved anywhere.) To gain a picture of what each of the EI quadrants covers, read the short descriptions
