Emotional Test

Here the link of a page with a emotional test on it. Press
down and see which one is your score.


This are my result you should try it!

What is your emotional IQ?
This emotional intelligence test consists of two parts; a self-report portion
and an ability portion. The test assesses your capacity to recognize your
own emotions and those of others; understand how best to motivate yourself;
 become close to others; and manage your own feelings and those of others.
Emotional intelligence contributes a great deal to your potential in life. A
poor emotional intelligence can hold a brilliant individual back from achieving
his or her goals, while a good EIQ can help someone who might otherwise
struggle achieve success in life

According to your self-report answers, your emotional intelligence is average.
People who score like you do feel that their ability to understand and deal
with their own emotions and those of others is acceptable but could still use
some improvement. Emotionally intelligent people have an easy time
overcoming difficulties in their lives and they are generally able to control
their moods. It's easy for them to motivate themselves to overcome obstacles
and reach their goals. In addition, they find social interactions to be quite
easy and fulfilling, for several reasons. They are comfortable allowing
themselves to get close with others, and feel comfortable being vulnerable
enough to establish intimacy. They also report having an easy time offering
support to others; likely due to an empathetic nature and a clear mind when
it comes to offering good advice. Perhaps by working on your problem areas,
 you can become more confident in dealing with your own emotions and those of
others.

question 1:
 I am agree with some of the things that it said in the result.


question 2:
The strength could be that can give you an idea how is the person
in the situation asked but that are an idea. It can be wrong in some
aspect. An also people normally said many things but in reality the
do another, different what they said. Also in the part where they
asked about what was the feeling of the people in the picture the
answer can change in real life, because people are different so
when you know the person you know when is lying and hiding their
emotions. You learn by experience how others feel so because
people is different the result are different. 
In sum the result of the test are uncertain but anyway can give you
a general idea.


question 3:


It’s depending in the situation and for what they need it. This test
can give you an idea who the person feels of himself. On the
other hand the result that gives you this test is really general and
uncertain, so could be used as a reference but is better say how
a person by experience and actions, especially that now is at days
people used a lot of liars and act for what is better for them (I am
not saying that all people are like that, it only that they should have
in means that point).

Chapter 6 (Part 2)

Emotional:




- Emotion provide us with the energ to engage in intellectual activity.
- emotion influence the way we think about the world a) PERSEPTION
                                                                                 b) REASON
                                                                                 c) LANGUAGE

-(phylosopher)Speculate that emotions help us to make rational decision abput things by narrowing down our options.
- Emotion and reason are closoly together. The difference between them is that range of each one in different situations.



Means that emotion can be more or less rational.

Stoics: a group of phylosopher, a ideal situation would be one in which we did not have any emotions at all and could look at the world in a balanced and objective way.

Intuition (king of feeling]): when yo suddenly see the solution to a problem without going through any consious.

a) Core intuition: our most fundamenal intuitions about life, universe and everythings.
b) Subject-specific intuitions: the intuitions we have in various areas of knowleadge such as science and ethics.

Chapter 6 (Part 1)

Emotion :(Latin: movere, it's means 'move')
Passion: used to refer a strong passion



The James-Lange Theory: The emotion are essencially physical in nature. Bodily come before, and cause, emotional change.

Means: if you remove physical symptmos the corresponding emotion disappear.

Criticised: he ignore that emotion have also mental aspect ( not only physical).

So 'Emotions' are affected by: 1) Belief
                                              2) Physical aspects.

Chapter 5 (Part 3)


FALLACY:





FALLACY EXAMPLE:


·         Post hoc ergo propter hoc: B follow A, then A must bebecause of B

·         Ad hominem: you are a man how can you talk about abortion.


·         Circular reasoning: I like vanilla ice cream because it's my favorite kind.

·         Special pleading: they should increase the tax for people, except people like me that are poor and have a salary of $200.


·         Equivocation: A hamburger is better than nothing
                          Nothing is better than good health
                         ------------------------------------------------
                         Therefore a hamburger is better than good health

·         Argument ad ignoratium: UFO does not exist because nobody has evidence.

·         False analogy: Water is liquid and is good for you to drink.
                          Engine oil is also liquid and must therefore be good to drink.

·         False dilemma: The things are white or black.

·         Loaded question: Do you always cheat in exam??
                                Then if the answer is: yes  you are admitting
                                                                No  you are employed that sometimes
                                But what happen if the answer is that you never cheat…

Chapter 5 (Part 2)

Syllogisms: kind of dedutive argument.
                  is made of:
                     1) two premises and a conclusion
                     2) three terms (each of which appear twice)
                     3) quantifiers, such as all or some or no (tell quantity)





To have an argument is important that the conclusion follow logically the premise.

Venn Diagramm: is a draw with circule for helping to know if the sillogism is valid or not.( is important to be carefull with the interpretation)

New Term...

Chapter 5 (Part 1):







Deductive Reasoning: reasoning from general to particulary things.


Example:  All lion are mammals
                  Simba is a lion
               -------------------------------------------
                   Therefore Simba is a mammal



Inductive Reasoning: goes to particularly to general (in this one influence the pass, the experience that give people a expectation of the future)


Example: Tom is a lawyer.
                 The lawyer are liar.
                      ------------------------------------------------------
                 Tom is a liar.



Informal Reasoning: is when we try to make generalization in the conclusion without the enough evidence.





Example:    This French waiter is rude, so all French waiter are rude.
