Demonstrating empathy and understanding is an essential element of teamwork. Being able to attribute a person's behavior to an underlying emotion will help you manage your relationships and make others feel heard.

Understanding one's emotional intelligence

Emotions are important pieces of information that tell you about yourself and others, but when faced with stress that takes us out of our comfort zone, we can be overwhelmed by them and lose control of ourselves.

By knowing how to manage stress and remain emotionally present, you can learn to receive upsetting information without letting it overwhelm your thoughts and self-control.

This will enable you to make choices that allow you to control your feelings and impulsive behaviors, manage your emotions in a healthy way, take initiative, honor your commitments, and adapt to changing circumstances.

The Social and Emotional Skills Scale offers four levels of analysis

The first level allows for a detailed analysis of 13 social and emotional skills by positioning the person in relation to a normative Quebec sample.

The second level allows for the assessment of the person's general perception of their skills in relation to two main groupings:

intrapersonal skills (ability to manage oneself on emotional, motivational, decisional and behavioral levels) and interpersonal skills (ability to create, develop and maintain lasting and quality interpersonal relationships).

The third level offers a comprehensive analysis of social and emotional skills related to five major areas of competence, allowing for comparisons with the five personality domains of the Big Five: openness, self-direction, relationships, interpersonal skills, and emotional regulation.

The fourth and final level allows for the ranking of social and emotional skills according to the person's perception of their effectiveness.
