Is personality type related to
emotional intelligence?
Emotional intelligence generally refers
to one’s ability to manage impulses, empathize with
others, and show resilience in the face of stress or
obstacles.
Often emotional intelligence is broken down
into two categories:
- Intrapersonal (your ability to
control yourself internally in a positive way)
- Interpersonal (your skills in getting along with
others)
Personality type, as identified by the MBTI
assessment, is also concerned with internal and external
processes, and thus can be a very useful tool for
enhancing and developing emotional intelligence.
