Emotional Intelligence

You can take an alternate quiz at https://www.viacharacter.org/survey/account/register (Links to an external site.) and submit your results report here. And even if you did do the Emotional Intelligence Quiz, I highly encourage you to also do the free https://www.viacharacter.org/survey/account/register (Links to an external site.) as they are a bit different.

Rationale: This book was chosen as an easy to read intro to the burgeoning field of emotional intelligence. It is easily accessible for both the major and non-major biology student, which Bio 54 contains both. Emotional intelligence can help support our personal and professional success and Emotional Intelligence 2.0 is supported by SJSU and can usually be found as a used copy for under $10, making it also very affordable when compared to other options.

More and more companies are incorporating these principles into their teams and leaders. No matter which sector you plan to enter into after graduation, starting on these skills now will give you an advantage, so I encourage you to dig deeply on these questions to get the most out of it for yourself.

Copy/paste this worksheet and type directly into it. Then upload/submit your answers with the questions to Canvas by the due date. If you delete the questions from this worksheet you will have 5 points deducted. This assignment is worth 25 points, so you must write enough detail – both related to your own personal situation and specific details from the book, to warrant an assignment worth 25 points. You should use full sentences and develop your responses in paragraph format. In order to adequately respond to all questions, your final product should be between 4 to 5 single spaced pages. Do not double space. Points will be deducted for overly simplistic or bare minimum responses that do not fully address the prompt. The overall goal of this assignment is to get you to flush out the themes you have self analyzed in yourself.
