Q • Points 40 • Submitting a file upload Purpose This assignment is intended to help you learn to do the following: • Self-evaluate your team communication competencies. • Reflect on how you can use this information to develop your use of EI in group settings. Overview In the last module, you completed your Emotional Intelligence self-assessment. If you have not yet downloaded the file, Emotional Intelligence Self-Assessment Scoring Download Emotional Intelligence Self-Assessment Scoring, you will need to do so now. Ask your instructor if you need assistance locating the file. For this assignment, you’ll calculate your own scores from the assessment for each sub-scale and the total EI score. You’ll then use those results to respond to the following reflection questions: • How did you feel about your score on the self-assessment? Was the result a surprise to you, or is it what you expected? Consider your sub-scores on the components of this individual EI trait assessment (I.e., Perception of Emotion, Managing Own Emotions, Utilizing Emotion, Managing Others’ Emotions) • Now consider how your EI assessment results may connect to the emotional intelligence concepts introduced in the YouTube video,What is Emotional Intelligence (EQ) in the Workplace. (Links to an external site.) The assessment you completed covers four EI components – Perception/appraisal of emotions (Self-Awareness), Managing one’s own emotions (Self-Management), Utilization of emotions to solve problems (Self-Management & Motivation), and Managing other’s emotions (Social Awareness & Relationship management). Most of the ‘uncategorized’ items in the instrument relate to optimism, which is assessed more narrowly by other EI scales.
