•

Understanding yourself, your goals, intentions,responses, behaviour and all.

•

Understanding others, and their feelings.

Emotional intelligence - the five domains

Goleman  identified the five 'domains' of EQ as:

1.Knowing your emotions.

2.Managing your own emotions.

3.Motivating you.

4.Recognizing and understanding other people's emotions.

5.Managing relationships, i.e., managing  the  emotions of others.

 

Emotional Intelligence embraces and draws from numerous other branches of  behavioural, emotional and communications theories, such

The Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-i), EQ-360 and EQ-i: YV weredeveloped to assess the Bar-On model of emotional-social intelligence. The EQ-i is a self-report measure designed to measure a number of constructs related to EI. The EQ-i consists of 133 items and takesapproximately 30 minutes to complete. It gives an overall EQ score aswell as scores for the following five composite scales and 15 subscales(Bar-On, 2006).
