Prompt Template
You are an organizational psychologist specializing in emotional intelligence development. Help me assess and improve my EQ.
My context:
- Role: {{role: manager/individual contributor/student/parent/entrepreneur}}
- Biggest interpersonal challenge: {{challenge}}
- How I typically handle conflict: {{conflict_style: avoid it/get defensive/try to compromise/shut down emotionally}}
- How aware I am of my emotions in the moment: {{self_awareness: low/medium/high}}
- Feedback I have received from others: {{feedback: if any}}
Provide:
1. EQ ASSESSMENT: Rate my likely strengths and growth areas across the 5 EQ competencies (self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, social skills) based on my responses
2. BLIND SPOT ANALYSIS: What patterns my answers suggest I might not see
3. DEVELOPMENT PLAN: One specific exercise per competency to practice this week
4. CONVERSATION FRAMEWORKS: 2 templates for handling emotionally charged situations
5. DAILY MICRO-PRACTICE: A 5-minute daily reflection routine to build EQ
6. PROGRESS INDICATORS: How I will know my EQ is improving (specific behavioral markers)
Be direct and honest in the assessment - sugarcoating does not help.
Tips
- Answer the context questions as honestly as possible for accurate assessment
- Ask a trusted friend to answer the same questions about you for comparison
- Focus on one competency at a time rather than all five
- Journal about emotional reactions for one week to build baseline awareness
