OVERVIEW
SELF-AWARENESS
Self-Awareness is the ability to be aware of our emotions.
EMOTIONAL AWARENESS
Emotional Awareness is the ability to recognize our emotions, differentiate among different ones, and understand the impact of emotions. Other people might understand and experience emotions differently than you do. Also, you might trigger emotions in others, so being sensitive to this possibility will help you communicate more effectively.
YOUR PERSONAL GUIDANCE
Your responses indicate that you are sometimes in tune with your emotions. At times you are aware of the emotion you are experiencing and can identify that emotion. Sometimes you understand that one can experience a range of emotions. You can sometimes understand why you feel a particular emotion at a given point. You may know your reactions to these emotions and realize that thoughts drive your feelings. Sometimes you use your perception of emotions to guide your actions. When interacting with others, your level of awareness helps you be in touch with your feelings sometimes but not always. Occasionally you can use this awareness to guide your interactions with others (friends, family, and colleagues), your perception of others, and your decisions. Increasing your awareness could help you predict your reactions to people or situations, which may help you respond more effectively or remove yourself from situations you are not ready to handle in personal and social settings or at Work.
SELF-MANAGEMENT
Self-Management is your ability to manage your emotions effectively.
EMOTIONAL SELF-CONTROL
Emotional Self-control is the ability to keep emotions under control. Other people might be influenced by emotions more or less than you. Understanding other individuals' levels of self-control can help you communicate with them more effectively.
YOUR PERSONAL GUIDANCE
Your responses indicate that you may sometimes be in control of your emotions. You are not always able to immediately realize when emotions start taking control. You can sometimes control your reactions and behavior but not always. You may, at times, find ways to calm yourself. You may sometimes focus on the thoughts running through your mind and try to change the negative thoughts to positive ones to handle your emotions better. However, you cannot always identify the reason behind your emotions and use that awareness to help you control them effectively. Your ability to control emotions can sometimes help you be objective in understanding people and perspectives, but not always, especially during an emotionally charged situation or personal emotional crisis. It can sometimes help you objectively understand perspectives to make good decisions. As you are sometimes aware that emotions can impact behavior, you may sometimes, but not always, tend to hold back before reacting during heated arguments or a stressful situation. For example, you can help cool off from a heated argument and get back to constructive discussions. Sometimes, but not always, you have an insight into the root cause of emotions, which can help you change negative thoughts to positive ones and help you handle different perspectives. By further increasing your emotional self-control, you will be able to see the person as a whole and not just in the context of the argument. In work situations, you can reevaluate positions and take appropriate steps.
ACHIEVEMENT ORIENTATION
Achievement Orientation is our desire to meet or exceed a standard of excellence. Other people might seek achievement more or less than you, and understanding other individuals' achievement orientation will help you better understand how they manage themselves.
YOUR PERSONAL GUIDANCE
Your responses indicate that challenges and goals sometimes drive you. You may not always be sure of yourself. You may or may not believe in yourself ā your ability to meet and achieve the goals, depending on the situation or goal. You are self-motivated and may take on new challenges once you reach a goal. However, you usually aim at achieving the set goal and may not go beyond that. Your drive to achieve goals and conquer challenges may not directly impact relationships. You are sometimes driven to achieve, which can help you at work. You sometimes set challenging goals and want to do better. Your degree of achievement orientation can bring success, satisfaction, and recognition.
POSITIVE OUTLOOK
A Positive Outlook is an ability to look positively at situations, problems, stress, self, and others. Other people may have a more or less optimistic view than you. Understanding other individuals' approaches will help you understand their perspectives and communicate effectively.

A more optimistic approach would positively impact your relationships and work and help you better deal with your colleagues to pursue goals despite setbacks. In addition, a more positive outlook can help you stay optimistic in times of emotional turmoil and upbeat in times of uncertainty.
