Person to Person Relationships in Context Exercise 1 Subject: Take an emotional intelligence test Today, companies are looking at the emotional quotient (EQ) as much as they
are the standard intelligence quotient (IQ) of a potential employee. Consider
the nature of your "emotional intelligence" by taking Utne Reader's
online test. Take your web-browser to: www.utne.com/azEq3.tmpl Complete the test and consider your score. Do you think that tests like
this adequately reflect the nature of one's emotional intelligence? Why or why
not? Exercise 2 Subject: Conflict simulation modules Your textbook underscores the importance of conflict and conflict resolution
in the evolution of personal relationships. It also mentions the fact that businesses
and professions are investing a significant amount of time and energy into conflict
identification and resolution. Ultimately, negotiation becomes a major part
of this matrix. Take your web-browser to: www.negotiatorpro.com Here, you will see how the "conflict industry" is becoming more
specialized every day. At Negotiator Pro, they offer several suites of software
tailor-made to certain industries. Your assignment is to review the available
software abstracts provided, and discuss your reactions to this cottage industry.
Exercise 3 Subject: Take an assertiveness test Another one of the important things that your textbook discusses is the
individual's need to be assertive in their communication behavior. Determine
whether or not you are a non-assertive, assertive, or aggressive individual
by taking this simple online test. Take your web-browser to: www.queendom.com/tests/career/assertiveness.html After completing the test, reflect upon the questions and your responses
