Step 2 : implement your test Energeia Dynamics by testing your Emotional Quotient

Please answer all the questions. Choose one answer for each question. Simply select the answer corresponding to your general attitude. Be sure to avoid the error of answering according to your ideal and not according to you real action or thought, spontaneous and regular.

1) I must criticize someone :
I put “my foot in my mouth”
I avoid making the remark directly fear of wounding him
I point out the facts objectively, then say what has irritated me and finally I ask him what he thinks
I note all the failures of the person, for later use,  to put him in his place when I've had enough
I present my feelings (disappointment, irritation, concern, stress…) then leave him to propose a solution

2) When a friend feels bad
I guess it immediately
I say to him “I have the impression that you're not OK…. Am I mistaken?”
I wait until he speaks to me about it
I tell him that in the event of problem he can count on me, without however asking questions which could embarrass him
I pass through his spouse, friend, colleague, to know the real problem

3) When I pass by a young man living in the street. I :
Think that he should go to work, at his age there is work for everyone !
That bothers me I avoid meeting his glance
I change sides of the road to prevent him from asking for money
I give him a little something to get rid of him
I smile at him, without feeling to be obliged to give him anything

4) I received a compliment on my word which seemed sincere :
I am uncomfortable
I do not like compliments
I think finally: “is it really sincere?”
I say " thank you, that's nice to hear ”
I say  “thank you” with a smile

5) I want to make a gift to somebody
I ask him what he would like ?
I think of myself and offer something witch I would like also. In that way, if he does not want it, it won't go to waste.
It is not easy to give something which is appreciated, though I manage very well thanks to my knowledge of the tastes of my friends.
I make very original gifts ; not everyone likes them but nobody remains indifferent. That's the main thing !
When I want to make a gift, to avoid blunders and reduce bother I store gift certificates. As a last resort, I give money.

6) If I were to provide first aid to a victim of a car…
I will be terrified, blood scares me, I think that I will lose all my control in such a situation beyond my means.
I will call emergency, that's what they're for...
I am not a doctor, I will wait until somebody qualified arrives
I will speak with the injured to know if he is in a serious state or not and will call for help
I am a first-aid worker and I will lavish first aid

 

7) Your cousin that you really don't care much for did not invite you to her wedding while all the rest of the family is invited:
You are upset but at the same time hardly surprised, nowadays we must expect anything !!!
You forbid the other members of the family who like you to go to the wedding, as proof of solidarity !
You call your cousin to congratulate her and express your surprise in not having received an invitation
You go to the wedding with all the family and you will see well if she has the cheek to refuse you
You don't care and do nothing about it, there are more important things in life !

8) Your boss refers to your "lack of professional integrity", a criticism you feel unjustified
You tell him that those who criticize are often guilty or their own.
You ask him “what makes you think that?”. You listen to his arguments and seek to understand his motivations in order to improve in the future.
You indicate your surprise and your feeling of injustice
No one is perfect and those who appeal for professional integrity are often those who have the least themselves !
You seek to evolve towards new functions because you do not like injustice

9) You have found an excellent solution to a problem. Unfortunately your are not the only one to decide....
You try to convince all concerned...
You insist that this is the only solution which really holds water, and so as not to lose time, it should be applied as soon as possible.
You present your solution and request ways of improving on it, in order to come up with an even better solution, because several heads are better than one !
You say nothing, it's their responsibility. If they are mistaken you will play Zorro and they will be only too happy to be able to count on you to save the day !
You create a working group and try to pull strings to arrive ate the right solution : yours !

10) Scandal mongering : someone reports about me remarks made by persons at work.
I will confuse the scandalmongers by telling them what was said to me !
I don't care, I know my value, it has no effect on me and, in any event, people are free to think what they want
You can't please everyone and I tell him that lots of people say bad things about him as well
That does not surprise me, people are “scandalmongers”
I tell him to keep the rumour to himself and declare that if certain people must complain they can do it to my face.

11) I make compliments:

Yes, every day to several people, taking care to be really sincere.
Exceptionally. Work well done is its own reward, so why compliment ? People know very well themselves what they do and what it's worth.
Never, that would be hypocrisy. Besides, who ever compliments me?
Seldom because exceptional acts are not legion !
I am able to say when it's good and also to say when it's bad, doing so with tact.

12) I get angry
At least once a day
Regularly, every week
Seldom, less once a year
Never
For me it's a normal means of expression, to get things going

13) For me rigour is :
A total necessity at every moment, from the collection and synthesis of information to the decision- making and follow-up of commitments.
It is the systematic respect of all commitments, without exception.
The fact that I respect my commitments most of the time,  those which are really fundamental. It is important to know how to distinguish the essential from the accessory
A great effort which can't be denied, though I refuse to consider myself as working on "piece-rates"  as if I were in a factory!
What certain strict applicants would like to impose on others while freeing themselves from all constraint.

14) As for setting my objectives :

I regard this as fundamental for advancement in life and the building throughout life of one's his destiny
It is important for me to have short-term and long-term objectives and I live as if I were to die tomorrow and I work as if I were to live a thousand years
I do not fix any because life is full of hazards and it is almost impossible to imagine what will happen.
It is normal in the world of business, but on a purely personal level, I rely more on instinct.
It is the Utopia of those which claim they'll conquer the world. People always in a hurry and tense to meet their objectives and who one day will have to take time to die t though that will not be their objective!

15) The future appears to me:
Rather dim, given to the folly of mankind.
To be that which one will build while being socially responsible.
Opened and full with possibilities. The future belongs to those who rise early and seek to satisfy their desires !
Merry : I get up  every morning saying what a beautiful day ! I will live it intensely and benefit for each moment, of each minute, like a treasure
Blocked: we know all too well what awaits us and unfortunately we've never seen anyone come back from the hereafter to tell his story.

16) When someone plays a dirty trick on me :

I am very vindictive and do not forgive, even a very a long time afterwards.
I do not hold a grudge because I am afraid to set people against me.
I get revenge and don't take long to find the counter-attack which will hurt
I announce to all the evil of the scoundrel who committed such a deed and do all in my power to harm his image.
I am not vindictive but I remember what he did tome and I remain vigilant to ensure that it does not occur again.

17) If somebody feels wounded by my remarks even though my intention were good :

I explain his error to him and try to recover a good relationship. If he persists, I leave him with his silly notion.
I think that he is an imbecile and not worth my interest.
I recognize the reality of his perception and presents my most sincere apologies, without seeking to correct his feeling, even if it appears erroneous to me.
Hell is paved good intentions and mine don't matter ! What counts is how I am perceived. If I were badly perceived, I present my apologies and try to understand why it is so.
I correct my errors but never present my apologies, because it would be an uncalled for display of weakness.

18) Physical exercise. I exercise every week (walk, jogging, swimming…) :
More than 5 hours
Between 3 and 5 hours
Between 2 and 3 hours
One hour per week
Less than one hour

19) Compliments received. In the last month I have :

Received at least a compliment
Received at least two compliments
Received more than 5 compliments
Forgotten if I have received any compliments or not
Paid little attention because I do not like compliments, as often they are pure hypocrisy

20) Humour is:

To work seriously without taking myself too seriously
What very rigorous people can allow  themselves when they make fun of themselves
To make fun of others
To be provocative
To make caustic irony

21) I have a feeling of failure if :

An error which I have committed and which is undeniable is announced to me
My attempts are not crowned with success
 I wasted my time doing something which is useless !
I was fearful instead of trying my luck : even though for me "he who tries nothing has nothing !"
I consider one of my experiences in a negative light. I avoid doing so because life is a sum of experiences and if you consider each one positively, that is already a success in itself !

22) Enemies. I have :

Many enemies, envious people who wish only my loss or my failure
No enemies except myself : aren't you sometimes your own worst enemy ? In particular when dealing with your weaknesses ? You must know how to compromise with yourself and you spend your whole life fighting against your own limits ! For better exceeding them !
No enemies, only adversaries, because I maintain with everyone relations based on mutual respect
Friends of which I am wary, because I think “protect me from my friends, so I can deal with my enemies!”
Many enemies because I am of a strong temperament and only “blessed yes yes types” can pride themselves on being accepted unanimously !

23) Nuance. I have:

The sense of nuance and I like to analyse for and against before making a decision, taking into consideration the various sensitivities which can be expressed.
A taste for fast decision, I leave nuance to those who prefer half-measures
Very impulsive behaviour and am often filled with remorse
The sense of diplomacy, because you must say to people what they want to hear in order to manipulate them
A taste for discretion and I am very unobtrusive : it is useless to brag, that can only antagonize

24) In case of disagreement in meeting, generally:

I prefer to keep silent as in any event my opinion has little chance to be taken into account
I explode and do not allow a misunderstanding to remain
If I am the only one with this opinion I prefer to say nothing as I do not want to have everyone against me
I quietly express my disagreement, concentrating  on the root of the matter and taking care not to offend anybody
I use a formula of oratory precaution to express my disagreement so as not to rub anyone the wrong way, saying "I have the feeling that..." and I always finish with "so what do you think ?"

25) You express your desires :
By regrets, saying “I would have liked to have done this or that…”
In the negative, saying “I am afraid that I won't manage with…”
In the present, saying “I carry out my desire as of now”
In the future tense, saying “tomorrow I will start to carry out my desire”
In the conditional tense “I would like…”

26) Concerning projects, I have:
Many, which I try to bring to completion, but it's not easy !
None, because daily life is too difficult and it's already hard enough to face all the requirements of life
Short-term plans because I do not know what tomorrow will bring
None, I live from day to day
Ambitious projects and I give myself the means to succeed

27) Intentions or means? To succeed:
Above all you must have the means, as  without them, good intentions are worth nothing !
You must know how to give yourself the means for success
I put all my energy in my will to succeed and the means will certainly follow !
You needs 50% will and 50% means
It's 100% will

 28) When I am in difficulty:
I do all I can to get out of it alone, I don note like to ask for assistance.
I always do what I do not like to do with someone else, it is the best way to succeed
I hide it beacause others could benefit from my weakness to do me harm
I bluff beause what counts is the image of confidence which you give of yourself
I ask for assistance and venfit grom it to learn something new, even if I risk to be considered as incompetent !

29) To change your mind ? It happens sometimes that :

My friends tell me that I am a chameleon or a wind vane
My friends reproach me for being very stubborn and narrow-minded
My relations reproach me for always wanting to be right
I change my mind when I realize that others have better ideas than mine and that happens rather often since I know how to surround myself with competent people
My first opinions are improved by complementary ideas which lead to a final solution which is neither completely mine nor that of someone else : it becomes team work !

   

30) Towards aggressiveness I:

Maintain an Olympic calm
Shout the loudest
Let the other get excited, observe his weak points and prepare my response in secrecy
Let the other express himself and once he has finished, I calmly put forward my own point of view
I turn heels and leave the other behind !

31) Towards the "wishy-washy"
I am irritated
I tease him with humour as a challenge and I often manage rather well
There are lots of them, the famous silent majority. That's the way it is, you can't do anything about it !
I sympathise because it is not as easy as that to act and always make the right decision.
I drop it!

32) For me to be objective is:

A Utopia, since every one sees the world through his own eyes
The fruit of a great rigor in the collection and processing of data as well as in the action that follows
A desire of intellectual honesty, to render justice according to convincing facts'
Coldness, because the human dimension  is not then sufficiently taken into account
A word which is very overused by those who are not objective themselves !

33) My opinion of myself : I am in general
Useless
Excellent
As demanding with myself as I am with others and my opinion can vary according to my results
Very indulgent with myself, the world is sufficiently pitiless not to be so myself !
Very shrewd as I know to get what I want

34) Search for employment. My first criterion is :
The possibility of having contact with many other people
The nature of the work in relation with the position, while knowing that I “make my own situation” being able to invest to make it so
Autonomy and professionalism requested
The level of salary
The power which will be granted to me

35) Impression. This test seemed to me:
A waste of time
Interesting, I await the results with anticipation and so much the better if it can help me !
Surely not very convincing as I am not sure that I answered all the questions correctly !
A little like a horoscope, it can only output standardized "blah blah"
Useful if I am able draw the right conclusions
