Managing Professional Development

In this assignment, I will present my knowledge and skill regarding emotional intelligence. In this regard I have conducted two tests which include Multiple Intelligences Test - based on Howard Gardner's MI Model and Balbin self-perception inventory, negotiation skills and learning skills, for my personal emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is considered as a new and growing concept related to behaviour investigation which is gaining attention with time.

Howard Gardner's MI Model

When I conducted this test and according to the results which described my intelligence type were as follows:

Intrapersonal

My stongest area of intelligence test is bering interpersonal.This intelligence type is related to the emotional intelligence concept of self-awareness.
