Emotional intelligence development
Emotional intelligence development – describes the ability, capacity, skill, or self-perceived ability to identify, assess, and manage the emotions of one’s self, of others, and of groups. People who possess a high degree of emotional intelligence know themselves very well and are also able to sense the emotions of others. They are affable, resilient, and optimistic. Emotional Intelligence was assessed using the Emotional Quotient Inventory: Young Version Short. This is a self-test designed to measure the EI of children and adolescents aged between 7 and 18.

Intrapersonal Component (IAC): Assesses an individual's general self-regard, the emotional self-awareness, assertiveness, self-fulfillment and emotional independence.
