5 components of Emotional Intelligence are

 Self-awareness—knowing one’s strengths, weaknesses, drives, values, and impact on

others
 Self-regulation—controlling or redirecting disruptive impulses and moods
 Motivation—relishing achievement for its own sake
 Empathy—understanding other people’s emotional makeup
 Social skill—building rapport with others to move them in desired directions

Self-awareness

In-terms of self-awareness one must know his/her strengths, weaknesses, drives, value and impact
on others. In this case I would give myself 15 out of 20. Because I might now my strengths,
weaknesses, things that drives me, my value but my impact on others has a lot of room to be
developed.

Self-regulation

Self-regulation is actually controlling or redirecting ones’ disruptive impulses and moods. On this
manner I would have to grade myself quite low as I am not very good at controlling my disruptive
impulses and moods. Very often I burst out my feelings through different manner of reaction.
Which might be one of my weaknesses. So, I would rate myself 12 out of 20 in terms of self-
regulation.

Motivation

On this manner I am quite satisfied with my motivational characteristics. So would like to grade
myself with 18 points out of 20. Because I can be motivated a bit easily and early. Which might
be a bad thing as well. Because often situations in life might get changed.

Empathy

Being able to react to others feelings and acting accordingly is very important. Empathy defines
exactly that, to understand other people’s emotional makeup. I am quite good at this. So, I would
like to mark myself with good points here. I will give myself 18 out of 20.
Social Skill

Social Skills refers to building rapport with others to move them in desired directions. In this
manner I have a good reputation. Because I can do things accordingly within my workplace. As
its related to my job type, I like to build mutual relations with people to bring out extra efforts
from people. So, I can mark myself with 17 points out of 20 points.

So overall my point has come out 80 out of 100. That might seem as a good score on emotional
intelligence but I would like to rate me average. Because my self-awareness and self-regulation
has a very big scope for improvement. So, I think I have a higher Emotional Intelligence than 79%
people. So, I can rank myself in the top 30% of the emotionally intelligent people.
