Emotional Intelligence: Self-Perception
This realm of emotional intelligence concerns what we generally refer to as the “inner self.” It determines how in touch with your feelings you are, how good you feel about yourself and about what you're doing in life. Success in this area means that you are aware of your feelings, feel strong, and have confidence in pursuing your life goals.
Emotional Intelligence: Self-Expression
This realm of emotion intelligence concerns how we generally express our emotions. When we express our feelings honestly, we are better equipped to deal with them because we actually know what we are feeling instead of denying it. As a result, we will feel a stronger sense of freedom, authenticity, closer connection with people around us, and free from emotional dependency on others.
Emotional Intelligence: Interpersonal
This realm of emotional intelligence concerns what are known as people skills. Those who function well in this area tend to be responsible and dependable. They understand, interact with and relate well to others in a variety of situations. They inspire trust and function well as part of a team.
Emotional Intelligence: Decision Making
This realm of emotional intelligence concerns your ability to use your emotions in the best way that helps you solve problems and make optimal choices. Success in this area means that you can grasp problems and devise effective solutions, deal realistically with situations, and manage impulses that may disrupt effective decision making.
Emotional Intelligence: Stress Management
This realm of emotional intelligence concerns your ability to be flexible, tolerate stress and be optimistic. Success in this area means that you are able to remain calm and focused, change direction or beliefs when presented with new evidence, demonstrate resilience, maintain a positive attitude, and constructively withstand adverse events and conflicting emotions without caving in. In the workplace, these skills are vital if you customarily face tight deadlines or must juggle many demands on your time. At home, they enable you to simultaneously maintain a busy household and be mindful of your physical health.
