You were recently asked to attend a meeting to discuss the
hiring process in your workplace. The human resources director attended and
made the following statement: “We obviously want intelligent people, but we
also want them to have emotional intelligence.”
What did the HR director mean by that? To learn more about
emotional intelligence, explore the sites listed below. Please take one of the
emotional intelligence (EI) tests. Reflect on your results, and explore ways
that you might develop an enhanced emotional IQ.
The following sites have informal self-administered surveys
that introduce the concept of EI in an interesting and personal way. There are
also links at these sites to follow-up on emotional quotient (EQ) assessment
and enhancement approaches.
