1. Introduction to Personal Assessment

In order to grow holistically, it’s essential to identify your strengths and areas for improvement across three dimensions of intelligence: Intellectual Intelligence (IQ), Emotional Intelligence (EQ), and Spiritual Intelligence (SQ). Reflecting on where you excel and where you need growth allows you to develop a balanced approach to decision-making, relationships, and living in alignment with your values and purpose.

  • Strategic Planning: You have the ability to set long-term goals and develop detailed plans to achieve them.
  • Curiosity and Learning: You are consistently eager to learn new information and apply it in practical ways.

B. Areas for Improvement in IQ

  • Over-Reliance on Data: You might tend to over-focus on logic and data, potentially neglecting the emotional or ethical aspects of a situation.
  • Rigid Thinking: You may struggle with adapting to new perspectives or unconventional solutions, preferring established methods.
  • Time Management: Even if you’re skilled at planning, you might find it challenging to manage your time effectively, especially when faced with competing priorities.

C. Reflection Exercise for IQ:

  1. Strength: Reflect on a time when your analytical thinking or problem-solving helped you successfully navigate a challenge.
    • Example: Solving a complex work issue by analyzing data and developing a strategic solution.
  2. Improvement: Consider a recent decision where relying too heavily on logic or data resulted in overlooking emotional or ethical factors.
    • Example: Making a business decision based solely on cost analysis without considering the impact on employee morale.

3. Identifying Strengths and Areas for Improvement in EQ

  • Balancing Empathy with Boundaries: You may find it challenging to set boundaries with others, prioritizing their emotions over your own well-being.

C. Reflection Exercise for EQ:

  1. Strength: Reflect on a time when your emotional awareness helped you navigate a difficult conversation or relationship.
    • Example: Listening empathetically to a friend going through a tough time and providing emotional support.

  • Disconnect Between Actions and Purpose: At times, you may feel that your daily actions don’t align with your deeper sense of purpose, leading to dissatisfaction.
  • Difficulty in Applying Values Under Pressure: In high-pressure situations, you might find it challenging to prioritize your values, leading to decisions that don’t reflect your true beliefs.

C. Reflection Exercise for SQ:
