WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Emotional Intelligence Level (LEI) Test - Symptoms and Signs

emotional intelligence

This self-report measure is designed to screen perceived emotional awareness and emotion-related skills in daily functioning. Emotional Intelligence Level (LEI) offers a brief snapshot of how an individual identifies, reflects on, and applies information about emotions in themselves and others.

The measure includes 50 items and typically takes about 10 minutes to complete. Item content emphasizes recognizing and labeling emotions, considering links between emotional responses and situational triggers, and using emotion-related information to guide problem solving and interpersonal behavior (Salovey & Mayer).

Results from Emotional Intelligence Level (LEI) are generally used to support clinical formulation, treatment planning, and psychoeducation by highlighting potential strengths and areas for further assessment. Scores should be interpreted in context and are not intended to serve as a stand-alone diagnostic indicator.
