Such tests generally fall into one of two types: self- report tests and ability tests.

Self-report tests are the most common because they are the easiest to administer and score. On
such tests, respondents respond to questions or statements by rating their own behaviors. For
example, on a statement such as "I often feel that I understand how others are feeling," a test-
taker might describe the statement as disagree, somewhat disagree, agree, or strongly agree.

3. Positive and negative emotions

Although emotion has been studied for a long time, the emergence of positive psychology as a
recognized field has facilitated interest in positive emotion. Seligman and Csikszentmihalyi
(2000) initially proposed three pillars on which positive psychology is founded: positive
character traits, enabling institutions, and positive emotion. One of the most significant
contributions of positive psychol- ogy to date has been to highlight the differences between
positive and negative emotion. On the other hand, negative emotions are those that we typically
do not find pleasurable to experience. Negative emotions can be defined as “as an unpleasant or
unhappy emotion which is evoked in individuals to express a negative effect towards an event

Some common positive emotions include:

 Love
 Joyz
 Satisfaction
 Contentment Interest
 Amusement
 Amusement
 Happiness
 Serenity
 Awe

A few of the most commonly felt negative emotions are:

Fear, Anger, Disgust , Sadness , Rage, Loneliness , Annoyance etc

Do We Need Both?
Look back over the list of sample negative emotions.

Do you want to feel negative emotions. Do you want to feel any of those emotions? You
probably don’t, and it’s no wonder! It doesn’t feel good to experience any of those emotions.

4.What are the goal of emotional management?
Emotion Management is the ability to realize, readily accept and successfully control feelings
on oneself and sometimes in others around you by being in complete authority over your
thoughts and feelings that are generated whenever your values are touched.

Emotion Management: Set Goals for your Employees. Here are some examples:
Always stop before making a decision to give oneself a chance to think how to give oneself a
chance to think how that decision might affect others Spend time with loved ones, talk to them
and enjoy their company Learn to appreciate emotions and avoid excessive criticism of situations
Look for ways to help colleagues who are hurting and in distress

Do other things outside work such as watching TV, exercising, surfing the internet, etc. that will
help forget a stressful situation at work Learn to step away from extreme emotions of distress to
allow time to calm downStop giving in to negative thinking but challenge the negative thoughts
by looking for evidence against them

Emotion Management: Improve and master this core skill with these ideas Understand how to
weigh situations accurately by managing stress - You are the only person who can control your
emotions. High levels of stress are known to overwhelm your mind and body leaving you unable
to read situations or even hear what someone is saying accurately.

• Emotional Intelligence affects our physical and mental health.

• Emotional Intelligence is more important than IQ when considering success and prestige in
professional success and prestige in professional settings.

1. Set the “Know Yourself” goal: Emotional intelligence is the blend of your feeling and
thinking and using this insight to guide your thoughts and actions. For you to set emotional
based goals, you need to study, understand, assess and take the Self Assessment/ Personality Test
to know who you are and how you act.

2. Set the “People Attitude” Goal: What is your emotional frequency with your spouse, boss,
colleagues, subordinates etc?. How do you react when you have a misunderstanding or conflict
with people?

3. Set the “Patience” Goal:This era we live in is full of many impatient individuals. It is has
been found that over 80% of people have low emotional quotient for patience.

4. Set the “Less Expectation” Goal:A lot of people are very big on ‘expectations’. We need to
set expectation goals to help us expect less. Remember, “Expectation often leads
todisappointment”. People should be aware that expectation is not a strategy.
