WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Emotion Use Test

emotional intelligence

This brief self-report measure assesses perceived ability to apply emotions deliberately in support of goal-directed behavior. Emotion Use focuses on how individuals monitor, regulate, and channel emotional experiences to guide decisions and actions.

The questionnaire contains 20 items and typically requires about 4 minutes to complete. Results are intended to support clinical or psychoeducational discussions of emotion regulation and functional use of affect, and should be interpreted in context with other assessment data and relevant history.

Emotion Use is not a diagnostic instrument; it provides an estimate of strengths and potential areas for intervention related to using emotions effectively in everyday functioning.
