then comment on which of the 4 major aspects of emotional intelligence
you feel is the most important to living a successful life and why.
1. Self-Awareness
2. Self-Management
3. Social Awareness
4. Relationship Management
i dont believe that you need one of these specific emotional aspects to be successful in life, as long as you got a little bit of everyone then you should be able to live a successful life.
ReplyDeleteI agree with matt in a way, i don't think you'll succeed if you have just one of these aspects. I think if anything i would choose self awareness. You need to know whats around you and how to deal with things so you can take care of yourself in life.
ReplyDeleteI do not believe having "expertise" in one of these areas of emotional intelligence will bring you success. The idea of success can be interpreted in various ways, the way we see it may not be the way others see it. I do think that having a good amount of knowledge of all 4 of these will increase your chances of finding happiness. Out of these 4 self-awareness would be the most important, since before you learn to understand others you must first understand yourself.
ReplyDeleteI believe that you need a combination of
ReplyDeleteSelf-Awareness
Self-Management
Social Awareness
Relationship Management
All of the above to be successful because we do not work with one type of personality. Having all of the above and more will help you to relate to many different persons from all back grounds.
I tend to believe that relationship management is the most important of the 4 , mostly because relationship management is involved in the other three emotional intelligence topics , you need to know how to have a good relationship yourself and others to master all aspects of emotional intelligence.
ReplyDeleteI believe that all four aspects are important. However, different people will have different levels of each. So we should identify where we are lacking and practice improving in those areas. This will then provide the success people are seeking.
ReplyDeletei believe that 1, 2, and 3 are both very important. relationship management comes along with time and maturity. As long as you can mange your school homework, your job, and your social time then everything should work out fine and you wont have any problems.
ReplyDeleteSelf-Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, and Relationship Management are all important and should benefit one self. It helps develop our personality. Our personality states who we are and if we take all these tools into our knowledge we can all become healthy open minded ppl.
ReplyDeleteA combination of all four would work the best. I tend to worry more about social awareness more than self awareness.learning to manage all four in an efficient way would make anyone's life a lot easier.
ReplyDeleteI believe self-awareness is the key to personal success. I say this because if you are not aware of what you are saying or doing, things could be blown out of proportion and your success could be jeopardized.
ReplyDeleteI believe that its best to have all four of these things for sure but i think that without self management you will never be as successful as you could potentially be.
ReplyDeleteI believe that you need to have a good grasp on all to be successful in life rather than just one but the one that stands out to me most is being able to self-manage. If you can't have good self-management skills then it is hard to keep everything together and organized for the things you need to get done to have a successful life.
ReplyDeletei believe it is a little bit of all four. To live by one will defiantly limit yourself as a person and will will not allow you to experience new things or even allow yourself look and feel different things on different situations. granted some will have advantages, but to limit yourself to just one of the four is practically closing yourself off.
ReplyDeleteI believe you need an even combination of all four. If you have more of one than another, you become more centered around that which either blocks out people from your life and ends up leaving you trapped by yourself. Having an even combination of all of them gives you versatility in everything you do and will set you up for the greatest success.
ReplyDeleteI believe as long as you have a equal amount of all four major aspects you will be successful no matter what. No matter what even if you feel like you only have one or two of the aspects as long as you work hard and you know what you want to accomplish in life; you will live a successful life.
ReplyDeleteI don't see one aspect more important than the other. I believe that if you have an equal amount of all four major components, you will live a successful life. Having all four components will allow you to do the right thing and be successful.
ReplyDeleteI think that it could help you in life if you have all four components, Self Awareness, Self Management, Social awareness, and Relationship Management when it comes to being successful in life. I don't think that if you don't have one or all of these components in life that you wont be successful. I think if you put your mind into something and your determined to get to the top then your going to get there no matter if you have those four criteria's or not.
ReplyDeleteI feel to be truly successful in life you need all four aspects. If I had to choose one though, I would choose Self-Awareness just because in order to manage yourself and be aware of others you have to know about yourself first.
ReplyDeleteI think the 4 major aspects of emotional intelligence are key to social and academic intelligence. Some people have more of one aspect over others that's stronger in determining how they succeed. For example someone might have a strong self-management along with a strong social awareness so maybe something like school is not a first priority because work and family come first to them and that is where they feel successful. I don't think it's a matter of which is the most important to one person but it is a part of your personality as you grow and learn from life experiences.
ReplyDeleteto be successful you need all fou aspects. They all are important to be a succesful member in society. If you have at least 3 of these you will be better off than without any but still need all to be completely successful
ReplyDeleteAccording to the EQ test I have a very high emotional intelligence. It tells me that I am a great performer in all of my goals that I set for myself. I like to think that I try my hardest and do my best in things that I am completely compassionate about. I put all of myself into things that I love and I believe that that helps me stay content with my life.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what everybody has said so far. To be a successful person (in whatever way you see fit) you have to be somewhat balanced. If you favor one aspect more than the others then you risk a chance of just letting the others fall under the radar. All four aspects of emotional intelligence are relatively important.
ReplyDeleteA balance of all the four aspects are vital to have and practice. If you favor one over the other three i think it is fine too, you just need a little of everything. If i had to pick one to have more of, which would provide a more successful life for a being, i'd say self management. If you have self-managment than you can obviously have more control on what your doing and the time you're putting into something.
ReplyDeleteI think having a good amount of all of these four aspects is what you need more than just being really good at just one. I would want to have a lot of self-awareness or self-management. I think those two would make me, personally, most successful in life. Its all different for everyone though. My EQ test said i had a little above average.
ReplyDeleteRelationship management is the key to living a successful life. While it is important for people to have a balance of the four major aspects of emotional intelligence, relationship management is the most important. A person can easily learn to manage and become aware of them actions. However, maintaining and managing relationships is something that requires more work.
ReplyDeleteI believe that having a good and successful life, you need all four of these aspects. Having Self-Awareness Self-Management, Social Awareness and Relationship Management is what makes me a better person and live a better life. Without these aspects, I wouldn't know what kind of person I would be. Having Self-Awareness and Management I think are the two main important out of the four because they help you more in life and helps you when it comes to being social as well. Self-Awareness makes you more alert and aware on what's going on and helps you as a person. Having all four of these aspects though make a person very successful in life and more prone to their surroundings.
ReplyDeleteI decided to post my comment with/out reading any other of the comments. I believe if one was to have a more successful life based on one of the four major aspects of emotional intelligence, it would have to be based on Self-Management. I do not think one can strive unless this aspect is strong in them. Although most are lacking in all aspects.
ReplyDeleteI personally believe that in order to succeed in life, you must have a little bit of every aspect. It's very good to have self awareness because it helps you in making decisions. It is always good to be aware of whats around you. I think that relationship management and social awareness also go hand in hand because it is always important to know how to interact with others whether it's in a public or a more personal way
ReplyDeleteI pretty much agree with everyone, i think we all need a good amount of all four major aspects. My EQ test showed that it was very high. If i had to pick one out of the four, it would have to be self management, only because if i don't have my stuff together, then none of my goals will be met in life.
ReplyDeleteI think Self Management is always the best thing to have because "If you can't love yourself, how the hell you gunna love somebody else?" and you should always put yourself first because anybody can leave you but if you have control of yourself and become strong in yourself, you will be successful.
