The four components Competence Competence refers to a person’s ability to accomplish his/her goals with outstanding determination and motivation. Based on my personal assessment of my own aptitude, I am questioning my competence owing to the persistent lack of morale. Liaw (2008) observes that students struggle to maintain focus and motivation when pursuing their academic endeavors. My interview with a classmate revealed that I exhibit diminished morale apparently due to the high level of commitment required to excel in the course and the hard tasks involved. The results of the current self-assessment are congruent with those of the self-assessment carried out in Module 1 since in both reviews; I scored lowly in the competence test. Emotional intelligence Emotional intelligence refers to the ability of a person to understand his/her feelings coupled with the capability to recognize the feelings of others (Kunnanatt, 2008). My self-assessment indicates that I possess a high level of emotional intelligence, and thus, I score well in this aspect. However, although I believe that I possess a high level of emotional intelligence, my interviewee believes that I am highly focused on how others are feeling and that sometimes I am wrong in deducing others’ feelings. The results correspond to the ones obtained in the self-assessment in Module 1. Therefore, it may be concluded that the results were accurate. Ethics Ethics refers to the ability of an individual to make moral choices when faced with challenging situations (Farmer & Chapman, 2016). I am always guided by the principle of utilitarianism, and I often choose the decision that maximizes the gains for the biggest audience. My partner reiterates that I possess strong moral values and that I am ethically upright. The current results confirm the findings from the self-assessment carried out in module 1, which indicated a strong sense of moral behavior in me. From the described results, it may be concluded that I am highly ethical and moral. Mindfulness Mindfulness refers to the ability of a person to pay attention to the internal and external experiences occurring in the present moment as opposed to the consideration of past encounters (Eandura, Langer, & Chanowitz, 2013). My self-assessment reveals poor performance on this tenet since I feel that my present reactions are highly subject to past encounters. When faced with a challenge, I tend to consider similar issues that have occurred in the past to solve the present. My interviewee confirms the observations; hence the results are accurate. My self-assessment in module 1 is also congruent with the current findings, as I scored poorly in this aspect. The effects of these tenets of interpersonal communication Personally I tend to have the poor motivation, which affects my competence adversely. Even though I am not a lazy person, I strongly feel that poor morale affects my personal life negatively, and I need to improve on this aspect. The poor score in terms of Emotional Intelligence is also worrying since it may affect my relationships with others. However, my strong moral and ethical values continue to shape my personal life through being a morally upright and just individual. Academically The poor competence that I exhibit may affect my academic performance negatively owing t
