Emotional intelligence often refers to “the capacity to be aware of, control, and express one’s emotions, and to handle interpersonal relationships judiciously and empathetically.” As discussed in class, there were a few behaviors we spoke about that I managed to identify with myself. I often tend to be curious about new people I meet and take an interest in knowing about them and about their past experiences which helps me understand different perspectives better and be more versatile with people I wouldn’t necessarily know otherwise. I guess I could consider myself to also have a reliable intuition and voice that helps me be a good judge of character. However, I can be offended at the slightest and I do hold grudges against people and ideas that may not be that significant and I probably wouldn’t remember why I had it in the first place after a while, which is something to definitely improve on.
