EQi Reflection
Based on the results of your Emotional Intelligence Test write a three-paragraph reflection
with each paragraph answering the following questions:
1. The WHAT? paragraph should describe what you did during the self-assessment. *
I draw my confidence from my primary sources including my council of life advisors and
practice tons when no one is watching and quick wins. My council of life advisors includes my
parents, sister, close friends and trusted colleagues. I rely on them all for different reasons. When
I’m feeling stuck or down I generally know exactly which person to call to get me going again.
Talking out my problems with others energizes me and significantly reduces my anxiety. Even
today, I like practicing a new skill or concept over and over in private until I feel ready to go
public with it. Being thorough makes me feel confident. I also strengthen my self-confidence by
giving myself the opportunity to make small, consistent actions on a day basis. These are
achievable goals or quick wins propel me forward and generate momentum toward my goal.
2. The SO WHAT? paragraph should answer what did you learn from the activity, why is
it important and why does this activity matter. *
I like to think of the purpose of my life as a combination of my values, motivations and
why I’ve chosen this career I have chosen to do. Understanding my purpose gives both direction
and meaning to my life. It grounds me in my values when I have a very important decision to
make and keeps me focused on my core beliefs. My core motivation is to help people design
their lifestyle around more meaningful work. My natural motivations included supporting my
family, meeting new people, having new experiences, travel, being outside and learning
something new. Any combination of these motivations will get me to take action and sustain my
momentum. There is much we can change about ourselves, but our natural preferences and
tendencies makes us who are as unique individuals.
3. The WHAT NOW? paragraph should answer how might this activity be useful in your
journey in becoming a professional nurse.
Emotional intelligence helps me to build stronger relationships, succeed at school, and
achieve my career and personal goals. It can also help me to connect with your feelings, turn
intention into action, and make informed decisions about what matters most to me. High
emotional intelligence can help me navigate the social complexities of the workplace, lead and
motivate others, and excel in my future career. By understanding my emotions and how to
control them, I will be able to express how I feel and understand how others are feeling.
Therefore, this allows me to communicate more effectively and forge stronger relationships, both
at work and in my personal life.
