Intrapersonal skills refer to which type of literacy?

Intrapersonal skills involve knowing and managing what happens inside you—your emotions, thoughts, and motivations. This directly maps to emotional literacy skills, the ability to recognize, understand, label, express, and regulate your own emotions. So a student who notices they’re feeling anxious before a test, names that feeling, and uses a strategy to calm down is using intrapersonal skills. The other options describe things outside the self or in relation to others: autonomy relates to independence, self-esteem to one's sense of worth, and social literacy skills to understanding and navigating interactions with others.
