I’d always wondered about “emotional intelligence” as in what exactly does that mean.  In recent years we started hearing that phrase - a lot.  Turns out it was coined in 1990 by two psychology professors who wrote a book about it.  The concept took off.  Hillary and I decided to take a deeper look to see how we rated on this scale.  The one we used is https://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/ei-quiz.ht.

We appreciate how this tool was broken down and organized.  Easy to use, easy to go back and refer to.  (Remember we both score high in administration.)  The five characteristics of self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills supported what Hillary and I knew, giving it words, making it clearer.  It also pointed out areas we want to grow in, definitely.  All this as a way to better understand ourselves.  It matters who you are because you need to show up as exactly that.  For you.  For me.  For us.
