This brief self-report measure provides a quick check of perceived emotional awareness and emotion-regulation tendencies. The Emotional Intelligence Test is intended as an orienting screener rather than a diagnostic instrument and is most appropriate for self-reflection or introductory educational use.
The questionnaire includes 10 items and typically takes about 2 minutes to complete. Items ask respondents to rate statements related to recognizing and managing one’s own emotions and interpreting others’ emotional cues; results should be interpreted cautiously and in context. The Emotional Intelligence Test is commonly attributed to Goleman, D., and is best used as a supplemental tool alongside more comprehensive assessment when clinical decision-making is required.
