Research and Working EQ


1.  What is your working EQ?
     How are psychology and criminology used within the FBI?
2.  What is a possible answer to your working EQ?
  • Psychology can be used to create psychological profiles, these profiles can assist FBI team in catching criminals or obtaining suspects. 
  • Criminology assists agents in gaining a different point of view on their cases, this insight can lead to more success in closing cases, hostage negotiations, and much more. 
3.  What is the most important source you have used that has helped you come up with an answer to your working EQ?
    The most important source i have used to come up with answers to my EQ is Mind Hunter by John Douglas. Not only did this book provide a direct point of view but it showed the entire process of psychology and criminology being used within the FBI and why.
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 Karen Martin from the FBI, she has been very helpful in showing me how the FBI works and what it does. She has much interest in psychology like I do and because of this has been able to assist me in finding research and other people to talk with.
