Mentor’s Comment:

  • The question asks about the connection between Emotional Intelligence and using it to deal with emotions.
  • It has two parts. The first part states the relation and the second part asks whether or not you agree with the first statement.
  • In the first part of the answer explain Emotional Intelligence.
  • In the second part, explain how Emotional Intelligence can be used to channelize your emotion for your benefit by stressing each component and how it helps us, like- emotional self-awareness, self-regulation, motivating oneself, etc. In the next part elaborate on whether you agree with the view that Emotional Intelligence helps you make your emotions work for you instead of being inimical to you.
  •  Conclude by stressing the importance of being emotionally intelligent.

      Decent discussion.
      Your points are well balanced and the explanation is well done.
      The only major issue in the answer is that you are writing a little bit of big paragraphs.
      Use proper subheadings in each part, even when using paragraph format.

      The overall answer is decent.
      The only issue is that examples are missing subheadings.
      Even when writing in paragraphs, you have to mention the subheading to denote the direction of the content being discussed.
      The content is decent and good coverage in the answer.
      Good use of examples.
