Explanation
★Personal competence is made up of motivation, self-awareness and self-regulation, so the answer is 2, 4 and 5.
★In emotional intelligence, personal competence is about managing oneself rather than handling others.
★Self-awareness is knowing one's own emotions, strengths and drives, which is the base of personal competence.
★Self-regulation is controlling and directing one's own moods and impulses, another inward-facing skill.
★Motivation, the inner drive to achieve, is also part of managing oneself, so it belongs to personal competence.
★Empathy and social skills deal with understanding and handling others, so they form social competence, not personal competence.
