Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: A) Incorrect. Creativity is not one of the five core concepts of self-awareness.
B) Incorrect. In addition to personal values and core self-evaluation, emotional intelligence is an important area of self-awareness.
C) Correct. Personal values, cognitive style, emotional intelligence, orientation toward change, and core self-evaluation are all important areas of self-awareness. Creativity, however, is not a part of self-awareness.
D) Incorrect. Personal values, emotional intelligence, and core self-evaluation are all important areas of self-awareness.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
Explanation: A) Incorrect. There are over one hundred emotional intelligence tests and theories, each with its own definition. This would not solve the problem of multiple definitions. The authors instead distinguish among emotional intelligence and emotional competence.
B) Incorrect. Personality traits and cognitive traits are not directly related to emotional intelligence. The authors distinguish among emotional intelligence and emotional competence to correct the multiple-definition problem.
C) Correct. This distinguishing definition helps to separate the cognitive processes (emotional intelligence) from the learned behaviors (emotional competence) that build on them.
D) Incorrect. In any given time period, proponents advance multiple definitions and theories of emotional intelligence. To solve this problem, the authors distinguish among emotional intelligence and emotional competence rather than focusing on a specific time period.
