In the article “5 Main Components of Emotional Intelligence”, M.Beard (2012) provided a brief overview of the article as stated by Daniel Goleman. Beard listed down the following components: self-awareness, self-regulation, internal motivation, empathy and social skills.
For self-awareness, he mentioned three distinct traits which are confidence, a sense of humour and being aware of one’s impression on others. The traits can be achieved by recognizing and understanding one’s moods and motivations and their impact on others. To do so, one needs to keep track of one`s emotions and recognize these.
For self-regulation, the three traits are being conscientious(for example, taking personal responsibility in regards to work), being adaptable and being responsive to someone in a manner which would not escalate the situation even when he/she(or, that person) is rude. It is all about controlling one’s impulses. One needs to control their emotions and think before responding.
For internal motivation, there are only two traits which are motivation to complete a task and perseverance in the face of adversity. This can be achieved by having an interest in learning which means self-improvement vs. a pursuit of wealth and status; pursuit of wealth and status is an external motivator.
For empathy, the author mentioned three traits which are perceptive, proactive and social situations. All can only be achieved by understanding ourselves and putting oneself in another person’s shoes to interpret their emotional reaction.
For social skills, the three traits are communication, influence and leadership, and conflict management. All of these can be achieved by having good interpersonal skills through building a rapport with others.

Thanks for your work, Steven. This is a good summary. Do note, however, that you don't actually need to use the colons ( : ) in the supporting body paragraphs:
