Self-Awareness and Well-Being Assessment

    1442
    This self-assessment questionnaire is designed to get you thinking about the various competences of emotional intelligence as they apply to you. These competences include:

    Self-awareness

    The ability to recognise what you are feeling, to understand your habitual emotional responses to events and to recognise how your emotions affect your behaviour and performance. When you are self-aware, you see yourself as others see you, and have a good sense of your own abilities and current limitations.

    Managing emotions

    The ability to stay focused and think clearly even when experiencing powerful emotions.
    Being able to manage your own emotional state is essential for taking responsibility for your actions, and can save you from hasty decisions that you later regret.

    Motivating oneself

    The ability to use your deepest emotions to move and guide you towards your goals. This ability enables you to take the initiative and to persevere in the face of obstacles and setbacks.

    Empathy

    The ability to sense, understand and respond to what other people are feeling.
    Self-awareness is essential to having empathy with others. If you are not aware of your own emotions, you will not be able to read the emotions of others.

    Social Skill

    The ability to manage, influence and inspire emotions in others. Being able to handle emotions in relationships and being able to influence and inspire others are essential foundation skills for successful teamwork and leadership.
