WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Emotional Intelligence Test

emotional intelligence

This brief self-report measure assesses perceived abilities related to emotional awareness, understanding others’ emotions, and emotion regulation. The Emotional Intelligence Test is designed for rapid screening in settings where a quick estimate of emotion-related functioning is needed.

The instrument includes 8 items and typically requires about 2 minutes to complete. Items ask respondents to rate statements about recognizing emotions in oneself and others and managing emotional responses; scores are generally interpreted as an index of perceived emotional competencies. The Emotional Intelligence Test is commonly used in psychological and organizational contexts, and its conceptual framing is consistent with work by Peter Salovey and John D. Mayer.
