Emotional Intelligence and

Myers Briggs Type Indicator

Type represents a model for the self management of perceptions and judgements, for adaptation to the world, and for both individual development and relationship.

Emotional intelligence encompasses all these too.

Basic assumptions around

Emotional Intelligence (1)Emotions contain important practical information about yourself and others. Managing this information is essential to personal well being and for building relationships.

Identifying, assessing and expressing emotions in appropriate ways enriches experiences.

Emotions play out in private and public roles to produce well-being, leadership and flow or to result in distress, distraction or being emotionally overwhelmed.

Acknowledging, empathising with, and facilitating the emotional expression of yourself and others enhances relationships.
