About this quiz

The questions are original to this website and are based on four areas often used in research on emotional intelligence. The test is for self-reflection and entertainment. It is not a psychological assessment or a standardised EQ test.
Each answer scores 1 to 5. Questions 6, 9, 11, 12, 18 are scored in reverse. The total for 20 questions is from 20 to 100.
The four levels are ranges of the total score, not a comparison with other people.

Each of the 20 questions scores 1 to 5, so the total is from 20 to 100. A higher score means you are better at knowing and managing your emotions, understanding others and handling relationships.

Score	Result	Meaning
20–54	Developing	You have considerable room to improve in noticing and managing emotions and in understanding others. These skills can be developed with practice.
55–69	Moderate	In most situations you notice and manage your emotions and get on well with people. Under stress or in a conflict, however, your emotions can take over.
70–84	High	You understand and manage your own emotions well, notice how others feel and handle most social situations appropriately.
85–100	Very high	You are very aware of your own and other people's emotions. You stay calm under pressure and in conflict, and you help others settle their differences.
