Task 2: Psychological Test On Emotional Intelligence.

Psychological Test:
Psychological testing — also called psychological assessment — is the
foundation of how psychologists better understand a person and their behavior.
It is a process of problem solving for many professionals — to try and determine
the core components of a person’s psychological or mental health problems,
personality, IQ, or some other component. It is also a process that helps
identifies not just weaknesses of a person, but also their strengths.

Psychological testing measures an individual’s performance at a specific point in

time — right now. Psychologists talk about a person’s “present functioning” in
terms of their test data. Therefore, psychological tests can’t predict future or
innate potential.

Psychological testing is not a single test or even a single type of test. It

encompasses a whole body of dozens of research-backed tests and procedures
of assessing specific aspects of a person’s psychological makeup. Some tests are
used to determine IQ, others are used for personality, and still others for
something else. Since so many different tests are available, it’s important to
note that not all of them share the same research evidence for their use — some
tests have a strong evidence base while others do not.

Psychological assessment is something that’s typically done in a formal manner

only by a licensed psychologist (the actual testing may sometimes be
administered by a psychology intern or trainee studying to become a
psychologist). Depending upon what kind of testing is being done, it can last
anywhere from 1 1/2 hours to a full day. Testing is usually done in a
 psychologist’s office and consists largely of paper-and-pencil tests (nowadays
often administered on a computer for ease-of-use).

Principles of a Well-Conducted Psychology Test:

1. Objectivity: A scoring method so that biases and other subjective judgments
can be minimized.
2. Test norms: Comparing one’s performance and scores with the other
respondents based on a point of reference or other points of comparison.
3. Validity: The test that is being administered should be able to consistently
measure what it is supposed to.
4. Standardization: All tests must be performed under the same controlled
environments so that there is consistency and standardization among the
tests and the results achieved.
5. Reliability: Getting the very same results after repeated testing.
Emotional Intelligence:
 Emotional Intelligence is an ability to monitor your own emotions as well
as the emotions of others, to distinguish between and label different
emotions correctly, and to use emotional information to guide your
thinking and behavior and influence that of others (Goleman, 1995;
Mayer & Salovey, 1990).
 It allows us to connect with others, understand ourselves better, and live
a more authentic, healthy, and happy life.

A Brief History of Emotional Intelligence:

To get an idea of the timeline for the introduction and embrace of emotional
intelligence within psychology, we can start with Peter Salovey’s work.

1. The Work of Peter Salovey:

 Peter Salovey, along with his colleague John Mayer, put forth one of the
first formal theories of emotional intelligence in 1990. They coined the
term emotional intelligence and described it as “the ability to recognize,
understand, utilize, and regulate emotions effectively in everyday life”
(Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, 2013).
 It is their work that provoked such an explosion of interest in emotional
intelligence, both within academic fields and in the general public.

2. A Look at Daniel Goleman and His Renowned Book:

 Daniel Goleman published the national bestselling book Emotional
Intelligence in 1995, which helped introduce emotional intelligence into
the mainstream.
  Goleman saw emotional intelligence as a vital factor in success, especially
for children. He proposed that promoting “social and emotional learning”
in children to boost their emotional intelligence would not only improve
their learning abilities, it would also help them succeed in school by
reducing or eliminating some of the most distracting and harmful
behavioral problems (Goleman, n.d.).
 His proposal has been welcomed by both the research community and the
general public, and it is now almost taken for granted that emotional
intelligence might be just as important-if not more important-for
individual success than IQ. Schools, educators, and education researchers
have also heartily welcomed the idea that emotional intelligence is not
simply a genetic, “you have it or you don’t” sort of trait, but a set of skills
that can be learned and improved upon.

3. Travis Bradberry and Emotional Intelligence 2.0:

 Author Travis Bradberry and his colleague Jean Greaves capitalized on the
growing interest in emotional intelligence and published his own book,
Emotional Intelligence 2.0, which outlines a step-by-step program for
enhancing emotional intelligence. Bradberry and Greaves propose 66
evidence-backed strategies to build emotional intelligence by teaching
self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship
management.
 This book, praised by the Dalai Lama himself, claims that it can help you
understand the concept of emotional intelligence and the emotions of
yourself and others better, and offers a pre- and post-test to prove it.
Components/Elements/Domains of the EQ
Model:
According to Daniel Goleman, there are five components or elements of
emotional intelligence:
1. Self-Awareness
2. Self-Regulation
3. Motivation
4. Empathy
5. Social Skills

1. Self-awareness can be defined as “the ability to recognize and understand

your own emotions” (Cherry, 2018B). It is the foundational building block of
emotional intelligence, since regulating ourselves, having empathy for
others, and so on all rely on identifying and understanding emotion in
ourselves.

2. Self-regulation is one step further-to have high EQ, we must not only be able
to recognize our own emotions, we must also be able to appropriately
express, regulate, and manage them.

3. People who are high in EQ are generally also high in intrinsic motivation; in
other words, people high in EQ are motivated for internal reasons rather
than to gain wealth, respect, fame, or other external rewards. Those with
high EQ are motivated for their own personal reasons and work towards
their own goals.
4. Empathy can be defined as the ability to understand how other people are
feeling and recognize, on an intimate level, how you would feel in their
shoes. It does not mean you sympathize, validate, or accept their behavior,
just that you can see things from their perspective and “feel” what they feel.

5. Finally, social skills are the last piece of the EQ puzzle; these skills are what
allow people to interact socially with one another and to successfully
navigate social situations. Those with high EQ generally have higher-than-
average social skills and are able to effectively pursue their goals and get the
outcomes they want when interacting with others (Cherry, 2018B).
Four Dimensions of Emotional Intelligence:
According to emotional intelligence “founding fathers” Salovey and Mayer,
there are four distinct dimensions or “branches” of emotional intelligence that
form a hierarchy of emotional skills and abilities:
1. Perceiving emotion
2. Using emotions to facilitate thought
3. Understanding emotions
4. Managing emotions
Advantages of Emotional Intelligence:
1. It is something that anyone can learn.
2. It can help to reduce bullying.
3. It improves a person’s social effectiveness.
4. It reduces the likelihood of engaging in personally destructive behaviors.
5. Making decisions becomes a lot faster.
6. It can be used in any environment, situation, and circumstance.

Disadvantages of Emotional Intelligence:

1. It can be used to manipulate people.
2. It prevents others from using their critical thinking skills.
3. It can be used for personal gain.
4. It can make a person more open and agreeable.
5. It takes time to develop this skill.
6. Emotional intelligence is a skill that not everyone takes seriously.

The pros and cons of emotional intelligence show it can be hugely beneficial to
develop. It also shows that there can be some potentially dangerous situations
that develop if people use their emotional intelligence in a way that only
benefits themselves. By understanding the core emotions of those around us,
better decisions can be made, so as long as the negatives can be balanced
properly, emotional intelligence will always be important.

Conclusion:
 Emotional intelligence is the most important factor in achieving success.
 High levels of achievement, success, and happiness are self-defined and
directed.
 A personal and emotional accountability system is essential for positive
human development.
 Honest self-assessment is requisite to positive and intentional personal
change.
 People develop and change themselves.
 Education and learning require the perspective of balance between
academic achievement and becoming emotionally intelligent.
Reflection:
Emotional intelligence, thus helps to predict success because it reflects how a
person applies knowledge to the immediate situation. In the work with
emotional intelligence, I have personally seen individuals improve their
leadership capacities and skills in their professional role and enhance their
personal lives. They have started self-analyzing themselves as having low or high
emotional values. This survey made us understand the emotions, values and
development of individuals.
