Complete the Schutte Self Report Emotional Intelligence Test (SSEIT).
Hand-score your total.... Being sure to "reverse score" items #5, 28, and 33.
The population mean for Emotional Intelligence on this scale is around 133, with a standard deviation of +/- 13.
What was your total score? Compare your score to the mean and standard deviation range. What, if anything do you think this scale reveals about your Emotional Intelligence, and what are your reactions to where you fall relative to the general population?
Finally, as this is a self-report measure of Emotional Intelligence, have a close friend, family-member, or loved-one complete this based on their assessment of you. How do their responses differ (item by item; and overall composite)? Present a strategy for growth or improvement in order to bring the self-report scores in-line with the scores assigned by another person based on their perceptions & experience.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
