Optimise Self Development Towards Achieveing Emotional Intelligent (EQ)

Please take note the Emotional Intelligent is not known as EI but EQ!. This because Emotional Intelligent is measured as an Emotional Intelligence Quotient (EQ).

As my reply to Cikin post, there are five categories of people personality as follows:-
- Openness
- Neutral
- Analytical
- Relational
- Decisive

Definitely we will fall into one of this categories. Actually there is a set of question to assess which categories we are but unfortunately I could not found the question. I hope I can find that question in order to help you all in accessing your-self. For me I'm in R, A and N.
