It was.... OK. There are a lot of things you can read about to learn ABOUT them, but cannot really learn to implement by reading about them. It would seem to me that "emotional intelligence" is one of these. The authors do give some practical strategies for increasing your awareness of how your emotions impact your performance, as well as how to improve your ability to control this. Also, I find myself skeptical of the value of this and most other multiple choice personality tests. It seems to me like most of us answer as to how we want to see ourselves, not necessarily how we actually ARE. Didn't enjoy this one at all. Way too light. The on-line exam was a joke. A good assessment instrument wouldn't have all the "correct" answers so obvious; it can in no way be giving a statistically valid evaluation. The chapters were mostly one page writeups on topics with little more insight than the person-off-the-street could have provided.If this topic interests you, try a different book.
Pretty much an idiots guide to EI. Not much outside the realm of common sense here.
