EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
OVERVIEW
Emotional and social intelligence are enduring aspects of personal and professional leadership.
The ability to honestly appraise and reflect upon one’s responses to personal and professional
experiences provides a basis for growth.
INSTRUCTIONS
You will write an 8–10-page research and reflective-based paper that focuses on emotional
intelligence (EI) and social intelligence (SI). It will include a discussion of an EI assessment test
taken online, in addition to demonstrating a contemporary work situation application. A plan for
improvement will be presented. The paper must include at least 6–8 references in APA format in
addition to the course textbooks, the Bible, and an Appendix with the EI test results displayed.
You will take an online EI test (such as Maetrix Emotional Intelligence Test (MEIT)). The
results will be discussed in the Emotional Intelligence Assignment, and displayed in the paper’s
Appendix.
Compare and contrast EI and SI. Discuss how understanding EI and SI may benefit you and
those you work with. How can it help or hinder your current and potential leadership ability?
Reflect on individual EI assessment results.
Using Johns’ Model for Structured Reflection (Description, Reflection, Anticipatory, Insight)
(Giese, 2016), reflect upon at least one work situation where your own EI broke down. What
were the leadership implications? How can this be improved upon?
