Emotional Intelligence – Quick Test

This Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Test is simple and quick to take. It gives an idea of overall EQ (as %) compared to others and takes just a few moments.
Let’s go!

Congratulations on taking the quick EQ test.

1 / 28

I am sensitive to other’s feelings

Almost always

Often

Sometimes

Not often

Rarely

A large part of eq is sensing what others feel, it’s true. Whilst eq can be honed by everyone, it’s true some people find it easier than others. In fact some people feel limited emotions generally. There’s nothing wrong with this. It’s just how some of us are built. Everyone can develop EQ, just not necessarily in the same ways.

It’s helpful you feel sensitive to others’ emotions. Feeling and then understanding them well helps us to navigate communication and relationships more easily.

I find change difficult

Almost always

Often

Sometimes

Not often

Rarely

You don’t find change easy. It’s helpful to be flexible in situations and to be able to adjust our feelings and behaviours to best serve us. Being able to approach people and situations with less judgement about what the how should be gives us more freedom to be in the moment, adapt and to take advantage of change and so opportunities.

I don’t feel emotions

Almost always

Rarely true

If we can’t feel emotions very much or easily then we’re not as open to the messages they’re trying to give us. It’s true many of us have challenging emotional experiences in the past and these experiences can get in the way of us feeling emotions in the present. Others simply don’t emotions much. Emotions are just sensations, in of themselves they can’t harm us. Being open to them a little more enables us to learn and grow.

Feeling emotions is a good thing though can be challenging at times. But the rewards are great. Emotions have knowledge so it’s great you are open to them. Accepting what they mean for you and being aware of when you resist them may help you grow even more.

I get offended easily

Almost always

Often

Sometimes

Not often

Rarely

Being offended by how someone treats us can be understandable. The thing is, we give our power away, when we let this happen. No-one has power over your feelings, but you. The more you feel at peace within yourself, the less others can affect you negatively. This is emotional freedom.

I get anxious about how things turn out

Staying on track with what’s important to you makes you unstoppable. Being distracted easily creates inefficiencies and may indicate you are not as calm as you might be. Being calm, feeling you have a well of peace within, gives you inner strength and purpose and means your managing your emotional experiences.

You may not always understand why you feel or act as you do. Raising your emotional awareness through writing down and reflecting on your daily life experiences can help improve this.

11 / 28

My way is generally best

Almost always

Often

Sometimes

Not often

Rarely

To believe your way is absolutely the best way much of the time, maybe naive and mean you’re not open to the possibilities of others. Just in the same way as not believing would mean you second guess yourself too much. Sometimes the middle-ground is not only helpful to others but actually serves you best too.

I don’t know what people need

I tend to be on edge

Almost always

Often

Sometimes

Not often

Rarely

It’s common to feel on edge sometimes. You may well benefit a lot from learning calming and slowing techniques to build a stronger sense of inner peace. Many of us don’t realise how affected by stress we are. Only when we start to slow and calm do we tend to notice ‘where we have been’.

You seem to be calm and together much of the time which is great. Just check in with a few people close to you to make sure this is an accurate view.

14 / 28

I mis-read situations

Almost always

Often

Sometimes

Not often

Rarely

Picking up cues from our environment and those around us is an important skill to hone. You may struggle to do this sometimes. If we read situations well, our behaviours are much more likely to serve us. Ask yourself what gets in the way.

Being impulsive may get in the way of you achieving what works best for you. Though being spontaneous can also have huge benefits too such as creating excitement or engaging others. It’s finding the careful balance between control and impulsivity that best suits you.

Whilst being impulsive may have drawbacks, sometimes it’s worth noting that there’s a balance to be had and it’s also possible to be too controlled sometimes too. Find the balance that works best for you.

Listening carefully, actively to someone is one of the greatest gifts we can give. Slow your mind and body, become quieter, hold back on preparing what you’ll say next. Open yourself up in body language and emotionally accept what they feel and need, even if you disagree or can’t seem to help, you’ll be offering more than you may realise.

It’s great you know how to listen well to others. There are fewer skills worthy of learning that build effective relationships.
