Social Intelligence Test

For anyone reflecting on communication, relationships, or recurring misunderstandings, the social intelligence test offers a focused look at how interpersonal situations are interpreted and managed. It suits people who want language for everyday strengths and friction points, helping them reflect on recurring interaction patterns and on what the two displayed dimensions may reveal. Viewed as an interpersonal skills assessment, it can make those patterns easier to discuss in real conversations.

What the Questionnaire Measures

Interpersonal functioning is the focus: the questions ask about anticipating reactions, interpreting motives, adapting to situations, and communicating effectively. They also touch on difficulty understanding other people's choices, unexpected irritation, and meaning conveyed through words, gestures, and facial expression cues. These details are examples of verbal and nonverbal information about other people's internal states. Emotional cue interpretation belongs to social awareness rather than a direct recognition task.

The displayed dimensions are:

• Social Skills (0-10) reflects competence in interpersonal interactions and in addressing social tasks developed through communication. Low 0-4, Moderate 5-7, and High 8-10 are the result bands.
• Social Awareness (0-10) reflects sensitivity and empathy toward verbal and nonverbal cues, including other people's internal states. Low 0-3, Moderate 4-7, and High 8-10 are the result bands.

Together these scores describe patterns in social understanding and interaction that can guide reflection.

Methodology and Evidence Base

Each statement uses a seven-point agreement scale from strong agreement through an uncertain midpoint to strong disagreement. Items address reading others, reactions, relationships, and conversational adjustment, so answer for your usual experience rather than an unusually good or bad day. As a self-report social skills questionnaire, it asks respondents to judge their typical interpersonal experience.

The published Tromsø Social Intelligence Scale is a self-report instrument for interpreting social information and managing interaction. The online questionnaire is conceptually consistent with that scale, but it is not established as an adaptation of its items or as sharing its psychometric properties. An English version has also been studied psychometrically.

Results are presented through the two displayed dimensions and their ranges; the questionnaire does not specify how individual answers map to points, so no per-answer formula should be inferred.

Self-perception, current context, memory, and candour can shape answers, so results are a snapshot of perceived interpersonal functioning rather than a clinical conclusion or complete assessment.
