Blog 8: Research and Working EQ

1.  What is your working EQ?
  • What are the most important qualities an officer should possess?
2.  What is a possible answer to your working EQ? Please write the answer in thesis format. 
  •  One of the most important qualities to posses as an officer is dependability, because as an officer, you would need to be trusted on both the field and at peacetime when you are working with others.
3.  What is the most important source you have used that has helped you come up with an answer to your working EQ?
  • The first interview with my mentor has been extremely helpful. It might not seem like it had a lot of information, but he helped gear me into a better path which helped me to find some answers for my EQ.
4.  Who is your mentor, or where are you volunteering, and how does what you are doing relate to your working EQ?
  • My mentor is Captain David Hankle and he's a special selections officer for Southern California and the Hawaiian Islands. He looks for different qualities in the people he recruits which is how his work relates to my topic. There are 14 personality traits that are valued in the Marines and he looks for people who will showcase those traits and represent the Marines well.
