WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire–Adolescent Short Form (TEIQue-ASF) Test

emotional intelligence

The measure is designed to assess self-perceived emotional functioning in adolescents using the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire–Adolescent Short Form (TEIQue-ASF). It provides a brief, standardized self-report profile of typical emotion-related dispositions relevant to everyday coping and interpersonal functioning.

The instrument includes 30 items and typically takes about 6 minutes to complete. Items ask respondents to rate how well statements describe their usual emotional reactions and behaviors, supporting use in school-based assessment and clinical or counseling contexts when screening or describing emotion-related traits.

Developed by K. V. Petrides, the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire–Adolescent Short Form (TEIQue-ASF) is intended for trait-level measurement rather than performance-based evaluation, and results should be interpreted alongside other clinical information and, when indicated, additional assessment.
