WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Emotional Awareness Test

emotional intelligence awareness

This self-report measure assesses an individual’s capacity to recognize, label, and reflect on emotional experiences in everyday contexts. The Emotional Awareness Test is intended to characterize how a person notices and interprets affective cues in self and others, which may inform clinical formulation and treatment planning.

The instrument includes 84 items and typically takes about 16 minutes to complete. Respondents rate statements describing emotional reactions and related coping tendencies; results are generally interpreted as an index of emotional awareness rather than as a diagnostic determination.

The Emotional Awareness Test is attributed to Salovey and Lane and may be used in clinical, counseling, or research settings as a screening tool to guide further assessment and discussion.
