CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
What does this questionnaire measure?
It assesses emotional creativity, or the ability to notice, combine, and reshape feelings in original ways. Items focus on flexibility, novelty, and how emotions are organized into personal patterns.
How long does it take and how many items are included?
Completion typically takes about 6 minutes. The questionnaire contains 30 statements.
How should responses be selected?
Choose the option that best reflects typical experiences rather than unusual events. Use the full range of response options and avoid spending excessive time on any single item.
Are there different versions, and does the version matter?
Several validated versions are available, including two based on the original component structure and one five-factor format. Scores should be interpreted within the chosen version and its scoring rules.
How should results be interpreted and used?
Results describe tendencies in how emotions are experienced and transformed; they are not a diagnosis. Interpretation is most useful when combined with other information and professional judgment when applicable.

Emotional Creativity Inventory (ECI) Test - Symptoms and Signs
This measure assesses individual differences in emotional creativity, or the tendency to experience, combine, and interpret emotions in novel and personally meaningful ways. The Emotional Creativity Inventory (ECI) is a self-report questionnaire designed to capture how a person approaches internal emotional experience beyond habitual or conventional patterns.
Developed by J. R. Averill, it includes 30 items and typically takes about 6 minutes to complete. Scores are intended to support clinical formulation or research by characterizing a respondent’s openness to nuanced emotional experience and perceived capacity to modify or elaborate emotional responses. The Emotional Creativity Inventory (ECI) is not a diagnostic tool and should be interpreted alongside other assessment data and relevant clinical context.
