This individual reflective assignment requires you to demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of

Assessment Instructions

Intelligence Test (GEIT) here: https://globalleadershipfoundation.com/geit/eitest.html
and complete Daniel Goleman’s EQ Instrument from this free online link:
https://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/ei-quiz.htm
2. Contact two people who know you reasonably well (e.g. work colleagues, close friends,
family members). Provide them with the link or hard-copy version of the same two survey
instruments and request that they complete the survey as an assessment of you and mail their
survey results to you once completed.
3. Using the Johari W indow model for self-awareness, critically analyse your own findings and
those of your associates to reflect on what you have learned about yourself. W rite a 1200-word
reflective essay (+/- 10% word count) based on the assessment results you have gathered.

differences between your self- assessment and those that you received from your chosen two
associates.

4. In addition to an introduction and conclusion, the reflective essay should comprise
three main sections:
In Part 1, critically compare your results with those of the two people who evaluated
you. In your analysis, use the four quadrants of the Johari W indow; i.e. Open, Blind,
Hidden, Unknown (approx. 400 words).
In Part 2, analyse your strengths and weaknesses based on your own survey results
(approx. 300 words).
In Part 3, reflect on what competencies you would like to develop in order to function
well as a global citizen. Provide practical examples with the assumption you work in a
culturally diverse global organisation (approx. 400 words).
Your reflective essay should include:
• Integration of these reflections with theoretical concepts.
• A reflective essay can be entirely written in the first person.
• A brief discussion of identified strengths and areas for development, presenting your
own results, your associates’ results, and a discussion of the patterns,
similarities/differences and trends you discover.
• Evidence of integration of feedback received from your associates, as well as
consideration of your own past experiences and feedback from other sources you have
received in years gone by.
• A clear conclusion reflecting on how your new insights may assist you with a
potential career in a culturally diverse organisation.
• A reference list.
• Proof of completed surveys, both yours and your associates’ (Face-to-face
students to give these to their facilitators in Week 5 at the end of the seminar.
Online students to scan the tests and email them to their online facilitator).
Please note that the evidence of the tests is worth 6/30.
Further guidance:
• This paper requires a significant amount of analysis and personal reflection.
This means that you should consider the Johari W indow model by breaking down its
four parts and reflecting on how the various quadrants provide a deeper understanding
of yourself.
• The attached marking rubrics guide the marker when awarding marks for your
reflective essay. You should review your paper in line with this to ensure there is nothing
you have missed.
• It is important to check your similarity in Turnitin. All sentences highlighted must be
either paraphrased in your own words or put in quotes and referenced accordingly.
You should be aiming for as low a similarity score as you can. Similarity highlighted in a
contents page, reference list or appendices is nothing to be concerned about.
