What this test explores
This test looks at emotional intelligence in four areas:
- Self-awareness – noticing and naming your own emotions.
- Self-regulation – managing reactions, impulses and tension.
- Empathy – recognising and understanding others’ emotions.
- Social intelligence – using emotional information in communication and relationships.
Answer thinking about how you usually are in daily life, at work, in study and relationships.
How to use this result
Emotional intelligence is a set of skills, not a fixed trait. High or low scores in one area do not define your value. They simply highlight where your current habits are more or less developed.
You might choose one area to focus on – for example, noticing emotions earlier, pausing before reacting, or listening with more curiosity – and experiment with small, concrete changes in daily life.
Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Test – FAQ
Is a high EQ always better?
Higher emotional intelligence can offer many advantages, but any skill taken to an extreme can become unbalanced. The goal is not perfection, but a flexible, sustainable way of relating to emotions and people.
Can emotional intelligence be improved?
Yes. EQ can be trained, like a muscle. Reflection, feedback, therapy, coaching and everyday practice can all contribute to change over time.
Should I show this result to a professional?
You can. The test is not diagnostic, but it can be a useful starting point to discuss strengths and areas of growth in therapy, coaching or supervision.
