Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Test

An ability test of emotional intelligence — real scenarios, each with a more and less skillful answer

About this assessment

An ability-based test of emotional intelligence built on the four-branch Mayer–Salovey–Caruso model (MSCEIT): perceiving emotions, using emotions to aid thinking, understanding how emotions work, and managing emotions in yourself and others. Unlike 'rate yourself' quizzes, every item is a real situation with a more and a less emotionally intelligent response, scored against the consensus of emotion research — so your score reflects skill you demonstrate, not how skilled you believe you are. For education and self-reflection, not a clinical measure.
