Emotional IQ Self Assessment Questions-1
Emotional IQ (EIQ) generally has 4 dimensions (sometimes labeled domains) to it: Self awareness, emotional regulation, social awareness and relationship management. Self awareness is most key and essential to all the other 3 dimensions. Conducting a self assessment with any competency can often help us identify improvement awareness and opportunity areas.
EIQ is a broad, comprehensive area, requiring many behavioral skills and intentional focus to improve. There is no one way to describe and apply EIQ. Everyone has different situations and circumstances that drives different needs and application in varying degrees. Everyone can have different EIQ set points. Finally, it’s important to know that all of us can improve.
