Emotional IQ Report
Xiu Ling, your Emotional IQ score is:
127
The above chart shows where you fall on the Emotional IQ scale compared to others. You scored higher than 96% of other test takers.
Your Emotional IQ measures how well your emotions guide you towards smart decisions. In fact, increasingly, researchers are pointing to Emotional IQs as better indicators of overall success in life than traditional IQ tests alone. Healthy relationships and flourishing careers are impossible without interacting successfully with others. Even someone who possesses a genius Intellectual Quotient (IQ) can miss out on the wisdom that comes from understanding another human being.
What makes Tickle's Emotional IQ test more comprehensive than others, is that we structured the test to actually isolate different interpersonal skills and how well you use them to your benefit.
As such, each of your scores on the 4 emotional intelligence dimensions, Perception, Expression, Empathy, and Emotional Management, are independent of one another, despite the fact that only in combination do they yield your true EIQ.
That also means that you can score high on all dimensions, low on all dimensions, and any permutation in between. There are plenty of reasons to understand where your strengths and weakness lie. In so doing, you can play to your strengths and work on improving your skills on all the dimensions.
As we noted in your initial results, your emotional strength, or the dimension on which you scored the highest is Empathy. For an in-depth look at those dimensions, read on about your Emotional IQ profile.
The perception scale
You scored 6 out of 10 on the perception scale.
You are fairly adept at picking up on non-verbal cues. You're relatively sensitive to subtleties in people's expressions and gestures, and, in most cases, can feel out the "vibe" of a situation. However, there are times you've missed signals which is why you could still stand to spend more time honing your powers of perception.
For example, if you noticed someone glancing at their watch during a conversation, you may or may not be aware of the various signals this action could be sending. The time checker could be anxious to end the conversation — or they could just be checking the time. You'd want to look for further signs — perhaps the tone of their voice, whether or not they're focusing on you or are distracted — to get at the meaning of their gesture.
Chances are, you would have interpreted the situation correctly. However, there are times when you may have missed this person's cues that signaled they were in a hurry and perhaps did not have time to chat with you. As a result, they may have been annoyed by your attempts to prolong the conversation.
The underlying messages of people's behavior are sometimes complex and inaccessible to us. As a result, it's always best to pay equal attention to what is being said and what is not being said. The goal is not to focus on just one aspect of non-verbal communication but to integrate all the signals to increase your perceptiveness.
The expression scale
You scored 6 out of 10 on the expression scale.
Your score indicates that you are relatively comfortable in expressing your emotions. However, you are not as open with your emotions as you could be and may even be embarrassed to acknowledge or express them. You are fairly in tune with both your conscious and unconscious feelings and why you are feeling a particular way.
For example, if you'd been working for a promotion at work you might have been confiding in a close co-worker about wanting a certain position. Then, a couple days later you might learn the position you'd wanted has been given to your co-worker! Although rationally you understand she wasn't vying for the position behind your back and it was a matter of circumstance that she got the position over you, you still feel disappointment and anger.
Chances are, because you are someone who is relatively comfortable expressing emotions, you probably won't hide your disappointment because it's not "rational." Instead, you might realize this is a situation that needs to be addressed between the two of you. You know that ignoring this touchy situation could breed resentment further down the road. Simply put, you have a need to clear the air. Whether you do this effectively or sensitively is another story, but the point is you do not waste energy protecting yourself from what you feel.
Sometimes people mistakenly equate being self-aware or relying on your emotions for your responses as a sign of weakness. This may be a problem for you. In the above example, it might be hard for you to express disappointment to your co-worker because it shows you have a vulnerable side, that you felt hurt.
However, you are self-aware enough to understand that all the intellectualizing and rationalizing in the world cannot erase your discontent. After all, you recognize you will be compromising your happiness if don't tend to your emotional needs.
The empathy scale
You scored a 9 out of 10 on the empathy scale.
You respond to others with your heart and soul. People sense your genuineness and commitment to being a compassionate person. You are able to not only observe other people's situations, but also understand the importance of empathizing instead of criticizing. You are not one to put down others simply to boost your own self-esteem, and that's because you're good at putting yourself in other people's shoes.
You are astute enough to know that sometimes you won't have all the information about another person you need to make a fair judgment of them or their actions. You acknowledge that you don't know their background, their personal or financial situation, or another key element that might be driving them to do something a certain way.
You wisely realize this, and therefore can look at people in a forgiving light — at least until you're able to process all the information you need to make an educated and fair assessment of the situation. You also realize that you, too, might come under scrutiny by other people and will want them to think about the true motivations behind your actions and realize that circumstances may drive you to act differently than you normally would.
You also have a capacity to understand actions you yourself don't condone or agree with. It is your ability to see many sides of an issue that allows you to do so. All of us need people in our lives who honor our individuality and imperfections.
The emotional management scale
You scored a 8 out of 10 the emotional management scale.
Most of the time you recognize that feeling emotions and acting upon them are two separate things. Whether you believe that all emotions and moods need to be experienced as they occur, or that emotions and moods need to be channeled into something beneficial, you see yourself in charge of how your emotions will impact your life. Although you are fairly adept at this skill, there are probably times when you've acted too quickly.
Ideally, emotions should serve as a guide, not a dictator, for our behavior. Sometimes feelings can be so strong that they hijack our stability and good sense. Fortunately you understand that balance is the key here.
You have a sense that managing your emotions and psychologically taking care of yourself are critical life skills. You are aware that although you may not be able to control the type of emotion you experience or when you experience it, you do have control over its duration and the extent to which it controls your behavior. Putting this realization into practice is sometimes hard for you, but it's one you're most likely dedicated to.

Passion - You have it!
My horoscope for the day (I know I should be either sleeping/ studying now.... cos exams just 8 hrs away..... anyway.... )
To all who don't really feels that you have the passion or is lossing your passion, don't give up. Wait and see. I believe that you all have the passion, just that it is not overt enough and the timing is not right for you to be passionate about!
Believe in yourself.... do not care what others say or did to you.... don't let others influence you.... or be affected by what ppl say.... just do what is RIGHT!
Time will tell! Jiayou!
(*but can be influence by me..... +ve ones of course.... can ignore the -ve ones.... lol)
The Bottom LineSo... I am here to advocate.....
Seek controversy -- and play devil's advocate to encourage people to be passionate.
In Detail
If you've been looking for inspiration lately, get with your wackiest friends or family. Surround yourself with the people who look at the world from an odd angle, and you'll be able to see things in a whole new way, too. Seek controversy today -- play devil's advocate as often as you can. You'll encourage people to be passionate about what they believe -- and passion can be contagious. Before you know it, you'll be struck by it.

Hard work and sacrifice is the name of the game.
In Jenna M. Lefever 's Occupational therapy: “The possibilities are endless”, it says "Hard work and sacrifice is the name of the game." Though in the article it is referring to the OT majors in Elizabethtown, I believe it is also applicable to us.
Since we are in the midst or our exams, 大家加油吧！

At the end of the day
Sometimes at the end of the day,
when all things went wrong,
It is nice to know that
there are always someone, somewhere
who cares about you.
Thanks to all who care, esp. Johnny, Jimmy and LPK.
Disappointed: SMD
Sensory motor dsyfunction prac is over FINALLY....
But I know I am way below expectations..... with so many practises for the past few days, I shouldn't be performing at this level.....
Haiz.... maybe because I expects alot from myself for this prac, and thus increases my stress level which has affected my performance....
More papers to come..... OTs.... lets us all 加油吧！
Gambatte!

Thanks for being the magic
Ever since we came to be, you were always there for me
I hear you breathe I see you smile
You have made my life worthwhile
It's your warmth your beautiful touch
It makes me remember so much
Of the pleasure I treasure, so thank you I must
No matter when, no matter where I may go
You know my heart will always stay
For you are here, I know you always will be
It's all because the magic is you
I've had dreams they seemed unreal
I've had hope they gave me zeal
But dreams came true and hopes unfurled
My island's grown into a world
They've been days of laughter and pain
But tears and memories will remain
We have grown here together, let's keep it that way
The above is dedicated to you who are always there for me.

Lost and Found
I've found a Motorola phone in the library, on my way to the toilet. It was under the chair.
Though it was good to keep it, but I didn't as I know that the owner must have been very anxious over the lost of his/her phone. I have been one too but never lucky enough to recover it back.
It is not the losing of the phone per se BUT is the importance of the contents and the contacts in the phone... ...
Just hope that when people received the help of others and continue to help others, all of us will be able to retrieve back our phones when we lost them.
(But this doesn't promote a person to be careless to misplace his/her phone though.)

Easy Way Out
Sometimes some people just do the easy way out for themselves, without considering that others have the same issues/situations as them.
Fall Prevention Education for the Elderlys from the Lion Befriender
Last saturday, we had to educate the elderlys from the Lion Befrienders on fall prevention.
Thought as OTs, we have done alot of such educations, but this is my 1st time presenting in HOKKIEN......
If you think presenting in mandarin using powerpoint was tedious (for those who get used to presenting in English).... how about presenting it in dialects?
wow.... at first I thought of just translating what the mandarin speaker (H2O) was saying, so I didn't prepare a speech of what to say (was too tired the day before and slpt before 10am)...
BUT, to my dismay, I had to present to the whole crowd at my first session in Hokkien!!! argh....
But luckily, there wasn't much of a problem la... lol....
And to make my day, an elderly said:
So sweet right?? haha.... but when H2O heard that.... she wanted to puke... haha... =) But you don't mind right? cos

Share a Meal with U @ Thong Teck Home for Senior Citizens
Just helping to get volunteers......
The main aim of the project is to create and raise public awareness of acts of kindness through food sharing session with the elderly. This sharing session is a collaboration between Singapore Kindness Movement and Kampong Ubi CCMC.
Some homes offer vegetarian meals for their residents only due to MOH rules and regulations but in fact, not all residents are vegetarian and they do like to have non-vegetarian food at times. Thus, at the first Home of this project, we will be sharing with Thong Teck Homes for Senior Citizens where 180 in-house residents and 20 day-care patients will get to enjoy a special Dinner (catering of food is arranged by the Home).
Details as follows:
Date : Saturday, 23rd September 2006
Time : 2 to 7pm
Venue : Thong Teck Homes for Senior Citizens located at 91 Geylang East Ave 2, Singapore 389759 (within walking distance from Aljunied MRT station, near to the National Library)
Interested parties, pls leave me a message or get back to the organizer (Chan Ling Chee) at lsiechan@hotmail.com.

In a conversation with our Ms "chiobu" last week, about her habit of eating apple daily.....
Cheekly me: "Oh, you will not have doctor as your boyfriend."
Her: "Why?"
Cheekly me: "Oh, 'cos an apple a day, keeps the doctor away."
Her: "....... "
Her: "maybe I should start eating oranges...."

Thirteen disabled young artists visit Singapore Biennale to seek inspiration
In yesterday's news, thirteen disabled young artists visit Singapore Biennale to seek inspiration....
Being autistic, deaf, wheelchair-bound or handicapped is not going to stop these young artists from creating works of beauty.
They are in Singapore for three days to visit the various sites of the Singapore Biennale to get ideas for their own creations.
Selected works of these artists will be auctioned off at the Credit Suisse Gala Dinner, proceeds will then go to Very Special Arts Singapore so that other disabled artists will have access to funds to pursue their works.

Learning to let go
Sharing what we have is a beautiful way of relating to others.
Our friendship are much enhanced by the quality of generosity.
Even more significantly, the cultivation of non-greed becomes a strong force for liberation.
What keeps us bound is desire and grasping in our minds.
As we practice giving, we learn to let go.- Joseph Goldstein
Man and boat
If a man is crossing a riverAnd an empty boat collides with his own skiffEven though he be a bad-tempered manHe will not become very angryBut if he sees a man in a boat,He will shout at him to steer clearIf his shout is not hear,He will shout againAnd yet again, and begin cursingAnd all because there is somebody in the boatYet if the boat was empty,He would not be shoutingAnd would not be angryIf you can empty your own boatCrossing the river of the world,No one will oppose youNo one will seek to harm you- Chung Tzu

A Nation in Concert: Many People, Once Voice
Today, I went to watch a play/show (drama, song and dance) @ Esplanade Concert Hall.....
I think it is really worth for money.... it is very nice... very entertaining too... but most importantly.... very inspiring....
"If you don't help people when you can, you cannot expect people to help you when you need them."
It is all about giving.... volunteerism.... all the casts are all volunteers.... all coming together with the same objectives - Education, Empowerment and Enrichment.
I think they have met their objectives, for :
- It has educated the public to see the minority as people with talents and ablities rather than their disablities.
- It has empowered the minority to allow them to showcase their talents... to allow them to contribute to the society as well.... and to empower them to educate the public....
- For me personally, it has enriched my life.... and as a volunteer myself, it has inspired me to continue to serve the community....
I really enjoyed the show very much.... and it is my 1st show in the Esplanade Concert Hall!!!!
AND I am very proud of myself and my classmates that we have decided to watch this show...
The Occupational-Therapists-To-Be @ A Nation in Concert:
Oh ya.... we also saw our sign language instructor who taught us sign language during last year NDP and we took a photo with her (Evelyn Chye- Interpreter for the show) :
A photo with the Can't the Slug and the bumble bee:
Another photo with Christina Sergeant the Auntie Stick Insect, and 2 xtomic members:
*argh... my hair is soo messy.... lol....*
Anyway, applaud to all the volunteers who made this a success..... ;)

Patience, persistence and perspiration
Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.- Napoleon Hill, American author, 1883- 1970
Clinical Education Preference
Today, had a discussion with THL for CE preference... ...
okay... HL mistaken me for another person... luckily I brought it up.... cos the descriptions of the performances for one of the CEs doesn't sounds like me....
That aside, I told HL that I wanted to try an acute neuro placement as well as pediatrics placement....
Well, as I haven't have my mental health placement, I was thinking of having it in IMH IF I have a community setting in 3B....
But if I am given an acute neuro placement in 3B.... I hope to have a community-mental health-pediatrics placement.....
AND I applied for overseas placement too.....I have applied for Penang (pediatrics) for CE3C..... Although I think my chances of getting it is highly unlikely..... BUT I do not want to regret for not trying....
For it is better that:
As even if I didn't get it.... at least I tried and I won't regret and it won't harm in anyway too.... =)
Well, I know my GPA is relatively average (or rather low).... but hopefully all my CE grades help....
See how thing goes ba.....

Search Blog
"How did you manage to find my blog?"
Confirming whether a blog belongs to a particular person requires dectective work... haha... No one keyword confirms it 100%...... e.g. though I am doggiegal.... it does not means that http://doggiegal.blogspot.com belongs to me....
it requires linking all the things that a person blogs and to how much you know abt a particular person... whether these things match.... haha...
maybe sometimes it is even harder when a person online is different from who he/she is in reality....
Google is easy.... comfirming is not....
And I have "googled" and found some of my friends' blogs by chance.... don't worry... your blog addresses will be safe with me...
anyway, you won't know I know your blogs if I only read your blogs but don't comments....
Just like I won't know who visits my blog... but I roughly have an idea.... and my 6th sense... ;p I have quite strong ESP wor... lolz...
Anyway,
To all who blogs.... be careful of what you blogs... cause anything that you blog can be found using "keywords".......
To all who doesn't blog, try to google your name.... don't be surprise if you see many websites/ blogs that has your name (and it is you... not some other people that has the same name as you...)
It's true.... cause I always have people who come to my blog (by chance... not looking for my blog... but entered....) using keywords like ot0401, occupational therapy, nyp, and even google using my classmates' name!!! haha... it is scary isn't it?
Well, I even have ppl using lecturers name to search stuff and ended up in my blog!!!
Luckily I nv really talk bad about lecturers.... haha....
3 more weeks ; 4 more weeks
3 more weeks to NAPFA...... and I haven't been training!!! With the amount of research we have to do for FYP and Play and School, it just leave me too tired to go for a jog.... argh...
Really got to start le.... lukewarecofee.... jubsy_pianist..... when u all want to jog ah..
And well..... after this break week... we are left with 4 more weeks to exam!!!

Happy Teacher's Day
" You can count the number of seeds in an apple.
But you cannot count the number of apples from a seed."
- Principal of Ngee Ann Primary School,
during her 2005's Teachers' Day speech
Tagging my entry
Hey friends.....
I am in the process of adding tag to my old entries....
Please be patience..... ;-)

Happy Teacher's Day
"Today is Teacher's Day
We like to shout and say
How great you are to us
In many many ways
When we go astray
You show us all the way
And guide us back to the right footpath
Without any fuss
Teacher Dear, Teacher Dear
We'll like you to hear
You are our greatest friend
Forever till the end!"
The above is a Teacher's Day song modified from a christmas carol, sang for teachers during my primary school time.
Today, I would like to dedicate the song to all the special people in my life, for giving me such an enjoyable learning experience.
Thanks,
All the teachers who inspired me in my learning - esp. Ms Foo P.C, Mrs Tan K.S, Mr Kumar Lim, Mdm Usha, Mrs Han, Mr Chee, Mr Seah, Mr Goh Y.S, Mr Tan Chee Boon, Mr A. Loo, Ms Evelyn, Mr LPK, Mr Lim H.B, etc
And to those friends who are teachers - Ms Chiang Y.R, Ms Wu D.P, Ms Casey, Ms Zachia Low, Xiao Fen Lao Shi ... ...
Happy Teacher's Day!
