David is an accomplished individual and is generally considered by his peers as a “model student”. However, upon entering University, David quickly realized that he is surrounded by students who are even more capable and smarter than he. In a recent exam, David receives an A, but his two best friends receive A+’s. He feels unconfident and depressed. How should he resolve his attitude?


Jenny is an attractive and intelligent young lady. Many people would think she has lots of friends. However, she likes to express her opinions about other people, often in a critical and insensitive fashion. Jenny believes that she is being honest, and that people who do not like her are simply jealous of her. How should Jenny improve her interpersonal relations?


John picked a major based on his parents’ thoughts; but he knows that what he is studying is not what he wants. Concerned that his parents would be disappointed in him, he cannot muster up the courage to let them know what he thinks. His grades start to slip, and he becomes unmotivated and unhappy. How should he resolve this problem?


Jack just broke up. He cannot understand why his ex-girlfriend Jasmine is so heartless to him; she even started dating someone who, in Jack’s opinion, does not measure up to him. Jack wants to know why, but Jenny refuses to explain. Jack feels confused and hurt… 


Sounds like some pretty common scenarios, don’t they? They may very well have happened to you or someone close to you. Yet they are unavoidable experiences in a person’s journey to maturity, as he or she enters the world of real life and adulthood. The path to a healthy resolution of these problems has to do with our Emotional Intelligence.


Nowadays we utilizes EQ-i 2.0 (Emotional Quotient Inventory, EQ-360 and EQ-i: YV), the world’s most widely used and reliable EQ assessment tool to assess the Bar-On model of emotional-social intelligence. The EQ-i is a report measure designed to measure a number of constructs related to EI. The EQ-i consists of 133 items and takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. It gives an overall EQ score as well as scores for the following five composite scales and 15 subscales (Bar-On, 2006). 


The 15 Dimensions of EQ:


Composite one: Self-Perception

∙ Self-Regard: Accept yourself even if you are not perfect
∙ Self-Actualization: A meaningful life with your own goals
∙Emotional self-awareness: Did anybody tell you how ugly it was when you got mad?

Composite Two: Self-Expression

∙ Emotional expression: Do you need a opposite gender 'friend'?
∙ Assertiveness: How do you say ‘No’ without being offensive?
∙ Independence: Yes, you left your parents already

Composite Three: Relationship

∙ Interpersonal Relationship: Why can’t you make friends?
∙ Empathy: Sympathy is just an emotion; empathy is an ability
∙ Social Responsibility: Improve someone else’s life and you will be happier

Composite Four: Decision Making----a result with an emotional component

∙ Problem Solving: Feeling, Thinking and Doing
∙ Reality Testing: How far is your vision from reality?
∙ Impulse Control: Can you wait for a moment?

Composite Five: Stress Management

∙ Flexibility: Change for Change
∙ Stress Tolerance: Don’t leave away, don’t give up
∙ Optimism: Your psychological capital
