Book Review by Jack Falt
The book consists of a description of each factor, an exercise sheet that describes the learning objectives, and the details of how to conduct the exercise, sometimes a script to be evaluated, and a worksheet.
The CD contains in PDF format a copy of each of the handouts to be printed out and distributed.
Those who have studied theJung/Myers theory have already spent a good deal of time on self understanding and interpersonal relations, so Emotional Intelligence is a good fit with personality types. There is formal training to become an Emotional Intelligence facilitator, but I can see any MBTI® trained facilitator having no difficulty using some of these exercises. I plan on using some of the exercises with my ongoing group.
The exercises are group oriented but just reading through the descriptions would give a good overview of Emotional Intelligence factors. The descriptions are well written and most of the articles can be done on one’s own.
