Nicely
Sometimes we're even able to help other people understand themselves better with this keen observance and understand. A friend of mine who I normally advise took the lead one of these days, advising me recently about a dilemma I had myself in and he mentioned something about "This is the type of person you are". I paused for a minute, marvelled at the accuracy of his observation and deduction. He was telling me something about myself which I myself was not aware enough to observe, and it really just helped me see the whole emotional intelligence thing differently.
Exactly and rightly so. I think this aspect of Emotional Intelligence is worth understanding and developing as it helps not only us but also the people around us, to view things from multiple perspectives and make better informed decisions.
