the case of emotional intelligence

Because it was Saturday morning and I am entirely bored, I decided to do this really long EQ test. Which took me about 20 minutes. And I thought I would do OK. But the opposite seems to be the case. Which is shite.

Self-report Component
Subscale IQ score = 66
Subscale percentile = 1

According to your self-report answers, your emotional intelligence is very poor. People who score like you do feel that they have trouble dealing with their own emotions and those of others. They struggle to overcome difficulties in their lives and they are unable to control their moods. It’s hard for them to understand how best to motivate themselves and reach their goals. In addition, they find social interactions quite difficult, for several reasons. They may have trouble allowing themselves to get close with others, finding it difficult to be vulnerable enough to establish intimacy. They also report having trouble offering support to others, likely due to the fact that they do not understand where others are coming from or they lack ideas about how best to help. Perhaps by working on your problem areas, you can become more confident in dealing with your own emotions and those of others.

This does bother me, a lot. With the percentile of only 1%, I am WAY below average. Perhaps retarded. I am socially retarded. Great. This dictates that I am a sore loser, that I lack self-confidence and those shit.

Talk about these personality tests, I did one way back in February when entering this stupid college of mine. It was done by this group of researches from UiTM or UKM, and guess what, I scored 5% on Jati Diri, 13% on Emotional Stability. Which is bad, considering that I occcupy extreme poles of everything. This is bad, because when I looked at the result of this extremely collosal guy, an absolutely cheesy, but Foreman-ish typa guy, um.. perhaps those soldier-ish ones, he scored 100% on Jati Diri. It’s fucking annoying, if you ask me.

Know what Jati Diri means? I don’t know either. Goodwill? Care to explain?

You know what, I do have problems conveying emotions, because it seemed to me most revealing, and unnecessary, that if I suddenly started to go excited in a class, or give a present to anyone, I’d immediately regret and curse myself for years to come. Esh.

Naw, I’m not gonna touch on IQ. Because I know I’m gonna be sucha show off and boastful. What I am mainly concerned about is the importance of such a thing called Emotional Intelligence. I know it is needed in order to have such a happy, perfect life, where everyone is nice to each other. I know that in order to live and be successful, you’d have to cope and deal with people, be decent and carve a smile or two, and have sleek shiny combed hair and all those shit. Talk about the ups and downs of your life and all. Go see a counselor for your career choice. Have a guy to date with and dance around. Dress up and iron your clothes and go early so you don’t piss off anyone. Give a nice good advice if someone is feeling shit or tell them to be patient and pray to god if their brother’s struggling for life. Give a most ordinary/cliched response so as not to hurt anyone’s feeling when they’re talking about Korean dramas. Simply put, interact harmoniously.

Problem is, I simply refuse. I reject all kind of things that ain’t accordance to what I really feel, unless I am feeling absolutely gay and need a break from reality.
