Scoring and Interpretation
‘Sum your Mostly True responses to the 16 questions,
+o obtain your overall emotional intelligence score.
Your score for self-awareness is the total of questions
1.5, 11, and 13. Your score for self-management is the
total of questions 2, 8 12, and 14. Your score for social
awareness is the sum of questions 3, 6, 9, and 15.
Your score far relationship management is the sum of
‘questions 4, 7, 10, and 16, This questionnaire provides
some indication of your emotional intelligence. If you
received a total score of 14 or more, you are certainly
considered a person with high emotional intelligence. A
score from 10 to 13 means you have a good platform
Cf emotional intelligence from which to develop your
leadership capability. A score of 7 to 9 would be moder-
‘ate emotional intelligence. A score below 7 indicates
‘that you realize that you are probably below average in
‘emotional inteligence.
For each of the four components of emotional
inteligence—self-awareness, self-management, social
awareness, and relationship management—e score of 4
is considered high, whereas a score of two or less would
be considered low. Review the discussion in this chapter
about the four components of emotional intelligence and,
think about what you might do to develop those areas
where you scored low. Compare your scores to those
of other students. What can you do to improve your
scores?
