    In Harvey Deutschendorf’s book, The Other Kind of Smart, he begins with an introduction talking about the differences between intelligence quotient (IQ) and emotional intelligence (EI) and how they can affect people's future careers.

In contrast, his roommate wasn’t as academically brilliant, but he flourished socially. He was able to translate his social skills into his future and solidify his career.…

    Emotional intelligence is the ability to manage emotions in such a way that promotes positive outcomes in one’s life. Emotional intelligence also refers to a specific set of cognitive abilities associated with emotions. Intelligence is defined by Wechsler as “the aggregate or global capacity to of the individual to act purposefully, to think rationally, and to deal effectively with his or her environment.” (pg. 2). Based off of Wechsler’s definition of intelligence, I do consider emotional intelligence (EI) to be a true form of intelligence, because accurately managing one’s emotions is vital towards acting purposefully, thinking rationally, and dealing with his/her environment.…

    Leaders are appointed in countries and states to govern and manage the well being of the citizens. The ruling party, who primarily authorizes laws and bills, retains power. The dynamics of the political sphere is largely dependent on the power structure and form of government in the state. Authoritarianism occurs when citizens conform to extreme obedience and submission to their leaders (Altemeyer, 2006), coined as Right Wing Authoritarian (RWA) followers. North Korea, governed by the Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un, is a famous example.…

    Emotional Intelligence is defined as “the ability to identify, use, understand and manage your emotions in positive and constructive way.” (Lewis, 2012).

    On my first emotional intelligence assessment, on a scale of 1-10, I scored a 6 on self-awareness, 10 on self-management, 9 on social-awareness, and a 6 on relationship management. I would say I that I disagree with the self-awareness part of the quiz because I am extremely aware of my emotions. I feel as if the quiz was based on whether or not the quiz taker bases decisions off of their emotion and not if they are aware of said emotion. For instance, if I am assigned to do something…

    A great man by the name of Jack Lord once said “What you have, what you are - your looks, your personality, your way of thinking - is unique. We all have a story to tell, we are all unique. If someone were to describe me in three words I would have to say that most likely this person would say that I am intelligent, helpful, and creative. Intelligence is something that is achieved and is not a trait you are naturally born with. When I was in elementary school and even some parts of middle school I was not considered an intelligent student.…
