WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment

Emotional Intelligence Test

emotional intelligence

This measure is designed to assess emotional intelligence, with an emphasis on how individuals perceive, understand, and manage emotions in themselves and others. The Emotional Intelligence Test is a brief self-report questionnaire intended for use in psychological and applied assessment contexts.

It contains 46 items and typically takes about 9 minutes to complete. Respondents rate statements reflecting emotion-related awareness and regulation, yielding scores that can support clinical formulation or guide discussion of interpersonal functioning and coping.

The Emotional Intelligence Test is commonly used as an adjunct to broader evaluation, and results should be interpreted in context of referral questions, response style, and other available clinical or organizational data. Salovey and Mayer are cited in the foundational literature on emotional intelligence.
