Your result: ‘Good EQ’

Congratulations! You have high

emotional intelligence. This is

good news! EQ counts for twice as

much as IQ and techni cal skills

combined in determining who will

be a star performer. Your level of

EQ likely has been and will be a

driver of your high performance

under pressure for years to come.

Areas to work on: W hile you are

doing well, don’t forget to take

time out of your busy day -to-day

activities to stop and reflect on what brings you the greatest meaning in your life. If we

fail to do this on a regular basis, we risk becoming tranquilized by the tri vial, sedated

by the small details. Yes, deadlines need to be met and goals achieved. But if we are

working toward goals that are not in alignment wi th our key values and greater

purpose, we face becoming frustrated and cynical when we face pressure – losing

sight of the reason we are doing ‘all of this’ i n the first place!

As W illiam James said: “I have no doubt whatsoever that most people live, whether

physically, intellectually, or morally, in a very restricted ci rcle of their potential being.

They make use of a very small portion of thei r possible consciousness… much like a

man who, out of his whole body organism, should get into the habi t of using and

moving only his little finger… W e all have reservoirs of life to draw upon, of which we

do not dream.”
