2. Complete the self-assessment questions in the manner directed, and follow the instructions given for ‘scoring’ the assessment.

REALLY IMPORTANT – if you are not connected to a printer save screen shots of each of the five summaries of your scoring/results report, otherwise when finished click the Print button to print a copy of your scoring/results report. Include a copy of your printed report or copies of the screen shots with Part B.

4. THIRD reflect (this means take time to really think – refer to graphic ‘How to Reflect’ in Individual Project assignment). Specifically reflect upon both sets of ‘scores’, the interpretation, and what this tells you about yourself as it relates to leadership.

5. Write a short (at least one full page but not less than half a page) summary of your reflections, following the formatting requirements stated below.

a) Title - centered, 12 pt. Times New Roman Bold font, name of assignment (as listed on class schedule unless otherwise noted) followed by your name.

b) Score – left margin aligned heading ‘Insight Score’ in 12 pt. Times New Roman font – name each assessment tool and record the point values for each of the four (or five) components of emotional intelligence.

c) Content – left margin aligned, 12 pt. Times New Roman font, double line spacing – a summary of your reflections regarding what this tells you about you and your leadership abilities.

6. Submit only the reflective summary to the respective drop box before the stated due date and time. Late submissions will receive no credit (0 points)
