1. Analyse how/why tests of emotional intelligence correlate, or do not correlate, with an individual’s performance at school or work.

Requirements for Assignment 7 (500 words, APA)

Emotional intelligence (EI) is a component of “social intelligence” that refers primarily to a person’s understanding of their emotions and those of others. This week, you explore the EI concept, which includes self-awareness, mood management, motivation, empathy, and social skills, as well as exploring what we call the narrow personality variables of schizotypy. You may be familiar with the symptoms of schizophrenia, but you might be surprised to learn that the milder versions of those symptoms affect a vast number of “normal” people who continue to function normally in day-to-day life.

What we expect from your Assignment:

1. Analyse how/why tests of emotional intelligence correlate, or do not correlate, with an individual’s performance at school or work.

2. Evaluate whether or not this correlation equates to causation and explain your reasoning.

3. From your position on this debate, explain whether or not individual differences play a role in an individual’s behaviour.

4. Fully state and justify any choices or assumptions that you make using the suggested resources for this unit as well as your own research. Include references to any sources you have used. All sources should be cited using APA style.
