In my PSE classes, we have been looking at several topics such as identity, personality types, emotional intelligence, grit and optimistic talk with these new topics I have learned I now wonder about how they apply to my journey through the ib.
I believe that the fundamental understanding of emotional intelligence will help me to further my mental well being and at times when I feel upset, I will be able to draw on it as a strength of mine as I have learned that I am quite emotionally intelligent. Also in the future, I will be able to develop my personality strengths to make sure I am happier with myself and that I also have a more positive view of myself. Something that I found interesting with the PSE course was the discussion about which is more important EQ or IQ this in particular spiked my interest as I wanted to know because my EQ had always felt stronger than my IQ and it was very fun to learn about other peoples view. Overall I am pleased with the level of understanding I have made if this course and I am to continue my knowledge of the discussion.
I also really enjoyed discussing the traits of someone’s identity and what made me who I am, this style of asking a question such as who am I? intrigues me and I think that this information and discussion were key in order for me to gain a better understanding of my identity a personality and I think it has been really beneficial.
