Discover Your Emotional Intelligence

Emotional Intelligence (EQ) refers to the capability of individuals to recognize their own emotions and those of others, discern between different feelings and label them appropriately, use emotional information to guide thinking and behavior, and manage and/or adjust emotions to adapt to environments or achieve one's goal(s).

It is a critical skill set that influences how we perceive and express ourselves, develop and maintain social relationships, cope with challenges, and use emotional information in an effective and meaningful way.

Key Components of EQ:

• Self-Awareness: Understanding your own emotions, strengths, weaknesses, values, and goals and their impact on others. It’s about knowing how you feel and why you feel that way.
• Self-Regulation: Managing or redirecting your disruptive emotions and impulses and adapting to changing circumstances. It involves controlling your reactions and thinking before acting.
• Motivation: Being driven to achieve for the sake of achievement, rather than external rewards. This includes having a passion for work, a desire to improve, and resilience in the face of setbacks.
• Empathy: Considering other people's feelings, especially when making decisions. It's the ability to understand the emotional makeup of other people and to treat people according to their emotional reactions.
• Social Skills: Managing relationships to move people in the desired direction. This involves proficiency in managing relationships and building networks, and an ability to find common ground and build rapport.

Developing your EQ can lead to improved communication, better relationships, enhanced leadership skills, and greater overall well-being. Our assessment is designed to help you understand your current EQ levels and provide actionable insights for growth.
