Working with Emotional Intelligence

Hello LINC 7 Students,

As we continue to learn about Emotional Intelligence, I thought it might be fun for you to complete an on-line survey of your personal "EQ."

This involves answering about 10 multiple-choice type questions, and then you get a score out of 200, rating your emotional intelligence!

Please click here and don't forget to record your score. We'll discuss this in class on Tuesday.

1. What is a "moral compass"? Why is it important?

2. What is "neuro-plasticity"? How is this important when we consider the human brain / mind?

3. Why does Daniel Goleman think EI should be taught in schools? What are the benefits?
