Shelly M. Moyal July 25th,2016 Ms.Marquard English 4 Honors Northeast High school Summer Reading Questions - The Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell 1. Please summarize your view of the idea known as the “American Dream,” as you understand it. Is your understanding of this concept significantly different from the way Gladwell seems to define it? In my understanding of the "American Dream" is a greater apparition. The thought of being wealthy is equivalent to being successful.…
According to Shriberg & Shriberg, emotional intelligence (EI) is the ability to fully understand oneself and to relate well with others (page 91). Social intelligence is the ability to get along well with others and to get them to cooperate with you (page 93). Daniel Goldman’s theory on emotional intelligence is that it can be taught and has the ability to do the following: (page 91): • Motivate oneself and persist despite frustrations • Regulate one’s own moods • Empathize • Delay gratification • Handle stress well • Have verbal and nonverbal skills in sync • Have self/other acceptance/tolerance • Promote “group harmony”…
To achieve excellence you must be persistence. It is about staying focus through completion. Persistence is becoming the Michael Jordan of your craft. Becoming the standard that others emulated. Application.…
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. There’s an anecdote that Deutschendorf tells, about two Yale graduates with different IQs and EIs. One of the Yale graduates was incredibly brilliant in terms of academics, but when he was interviewing for jobs, he only got called back by a “second-rate company where he lasted for only three years” (Deutschendorf 4). 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.…
Emotional Intelligence Flag football was exciting, but I was ecstatic for my first padded practice the summer going into sixth grade. It was my first football practice in full pads and I was so excited, I had only played flag football up until this so this was going to be the best day of my life. I was actually going to play real football, but I never thought that it would teach me one of the most influential lessons that I have ever learned. It was the perfect day for football, mid-seventies with a slight breeze with a beautiful sunset.…
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.…
This model says that individual’s trait EI depends on their self-perception of their own Emotional abilities. It doesn’t talk about interpersonal features. This model should be viewed in terms of personality framework. The measurement of EI in different models is different and has their own advantages. Trait model measures EI by using self reports, which tests more of personality and has limited measures that actually measure Emotional Intelligence.…
Emotional Intelligence is defined as “the ability to identify, use, understand and manage your emotions in positive and constructive way.” (Lewis, 2012). And is broken down into four key components. These components are self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management, all playing separate but equal roles in what makes someone emotionally intelligent. For example, self-awareness is someone being aware of their own emotions in a given situation, while self-management in the control of emotions while being socially aware.…
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…

The results I received from the Emotional Intelligence (EQ) assessment is 88/100. The assessment provided me very good insight in how I interact with others because it analyzed how I respond to others and situations that occur in everyday life. I believe the assessment helped me to understand how to important it is to manage myself properly when I am around others such as family and friends. Self-management, Self-awareness, and self-motivation are elements of emotional intelligence. I am always aware of my emotions and how other people are feeling.…
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.…
Therefore, I also want to include a short part about emotional intelligence. After the theoretical part I am going to talk about my personal experiences, combining them with my learnings and also discussing my future goals.…
1) Report- From completing module 4 I have learnt and experienced what it means to understand and how to manage my emotions and emotional intelligence. Through learning about the nature of my emotions such as the valence and intensity, has given me the ability to make better decisions and cope with stressors in a healthier way. How technology also affects my emotions was interesting as I was able to relate with many of the influences provided in the module. I have gained a much broader mindset of my emotions throughout studying module 4, and I believe that this knowledge will help me not only at university but throughout the rest of my life.…
