Exercise - Quick Emotional Intelligence Self-Assessment
Source: University of Minnesota Extension: Center for Youth Development
Description
Adults as well as youth need to be able to identify their emotions. One way to equip staff is to help them become more aware of their own emotions. Emotional Intelligence (sometimes referred to as EQ) is defined as the ability to be aware of, understand, and manage one’s emotions. This quick self-assessment can help adults feel grounded in some of the language we use in supporting SEL with youth.

Description
The goal of this exercise is to expand your ability to name your emotions. A good emotional “vocabulary” and steady self-reflection will help us become more conscious of our emotions. We cannot develop empathy for other people’s feelings until we understand our own! And we definitely can’t manage emotions we are not aware of.
