Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Test

This self-report measure is designed to screen aspects of perceived emotional functioning in everyday contexts. The Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Test provides a brief estimate of how an individual understands and manages emotions in themselves and in interpersonal situations.

The measure includes 42 items and typically takes about 8 minutes to complete. Item content samples domains commonly described in emotional intelligence models, including awareness of one’s own emotions, emotion regulation, recognition of others’ emotions, and the use of emotion to support effective communication.

Scores from the Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Test are intended for informational use and should be interpreted in the context of other clinical or organizational data, not as a standalone diagnostic indicator. The construct is often discussed in the literature associated with Peter Salovey and John D. Mayer.
