Organizational Behavior

Part 3

I performed an EQ retest and my overall emotional intelligence score was 78 points, 10 more than the previous score. The score was based on two aspects of emotional behavior which included personal competence which I scored 75 points, and social competence aspect which I attained a score of 82. The current scores show that I have achieved some developments on my emotional intelligence behaviors though I have to improve on some of these behaviors. One of the behaviors that I should try to improve is relationship management especially in emotional awareness where I should work on acknowledging and identifying the feelings of people around me and my personal emotions. Identifying these emotions will enable me to solve conflicts before they occur.

Despite the fact that my self-management score has improved from 65 to 75, I still find it difficult to remain calm when I am under stress, and thus, I usually appear not to be flexible in controlling my feelings especially when the change of my emotions are caused by my peers. It is, therefore, interesting to note that I can only improve my self-management ability by becoming a responsible and dependable person even in times of crisis.

The social competence score indicated that I have greatly improved on social awareness behavior. I can now easily make conclusions from judging the emotions of other people, without necessarily experiencing similar emotions. The skills acquired in this component include the ability to identify varying emotions from different people, the ability to empathize with emotions of people, and avoiding self-centeredness when understanding and interpreting their emotions.

In general, I have improved on my emotional intelligence behaviors, though I should try to improve on each component, though I should work harder especially on relationship management behavior as this is important in relationship building and when solving emotional conflicts.
