Don't bother with this test. The score that you are given when you finish is not your complete score. It only represents how well you did on the personal questions given at the beginning of the test. To get your full score, you have to pay. I tried to take this thread down, but it appeared that there was no way to do it. I didn't put up any warning originally, because people were not responding to this thread. However, it is now necessary to warn you.

Maybe I should think of changing my "X" to a "T." :huh:

Sheesh, that was a mini marathon & the hug questions keep throwing me :suspicious:

"According to your self-report answers, your emotional intelligence is very poor. People who score like you do feel that they have trouble dealing with their own emotions and those of others. They struggle to overcome difficulties in their lives and they are unable to control their moods. It’s hard for them to understand how best to motivate themselves and reach their goals. In addition, they find social interactions quite difficult, for several reasons. They may have trouble allowing themselves to get close with others, finding it difficult to be vulnerable enough to establish intimacy. They also report having trouble offering support to others, likely due to the fact that they do not understand where others are coming from or they lack ideas about how best to help. Perhaps by working on your problem areas, you can become more confident in dealing with your own emotions and those of others."

EQ disgusts me because it's such a horrible perversion of an idea that looked like it might actually be true. The EQ stuff now is totally different from what the research showed, but because of the new stuff no research has really been put into the original idea.

I've taken this test before (and scored higher, 96 if I remember right). Even by the standards of EQ tests, I think this one is really bad in a lot of ways.

I find this to be a better test. I scored 70 something on the Queendom test and most of it is bullcrap anyway. I got 98 for this.

104... about the same.

These tests are not made for us INTJs!

You are in the middle of a heated argument with your spouse. Although you normally love this person, you are so furious that you are about to say something very nasty, something that you know will hurt him. The best way to deal with this kind of situation is to:

Proclaim that you refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person and walk away - love it, nothing wrong with that right? :rolleyes:

According to your self-report answers, your emotional intelligence is good. People who score like you do feel that they have little trouble understanding and dealing with their own emotions and those of others. They generally are able to overcome difficulties in their lives and they are able to control their moods in all but the most trying of times. It’s easy for them to motivate themselves to overcome obstacles and reach their goals. In addition, they find social interactions to be quite easy and fulfilling, for several reasons. They are comfortable allowing themselves to get close with others, and feel comfortable being vulnerable enough to establish intimacy. They also report having an easy time offering support to others; this is likely due to an empathetic nature and a clear mind when it comes to offering good advice.

[Erika Redmark]

I did a little better on the psychtests one–87. It's funny, I thought I was doing pretty well on both of them while I was taking them.

On the second one, my EIQ was 119.

I just took the test & got an 80/10
my emotional connections were classified as "somewhat poor"; although it looks as though I only *just* missed the "very" variety...

I think that there are multiple areas of inteligence, and i recently took an EIQ test. I scored 67 points, on the same scale as normal IQ. I'm pretty sure thats retard standards. I know INTJs are not into emotions, but I was looking for any thoughts you had on the subject, and even to see how other INTJs do.

take the test if you want, its a little lengthy.




Note: The test requires you to pay for the full results, the free summary only gives you partial results from the personal questions at the beginning of the test.

[themuzicman]

102 or 58... they said I was just below average?

[SultanOfSuede]

True story: My last company, we all had to take the EQ. I got a 57 using the same scale as IQ. Other scores were similarly abysmal (we were all software developers). The consultant who gave the test said we were the lowest scoring company he had ever encountered. We did worse than construction workers and we didn't even holler at hot women driving by our office.

Then I realized, EQ uses extroversion as its measure of human happiness and emotional well-being. It's a conspiracy.

[DDL]

I scored a 74. I agree with Sultan; almost all of the questions were based upon the view that extroversion is the optimal personality trait.

[llBradll]

Wouldn't it have a negative bias against people who understand but don't care?

[SultanOfSuede]

I got axed to coffee by the life coach/consultant after the test. Nice guy. He asked me WTF was wrong with me in a nice way and then recommended various readings and some tai chi.

So, I got an audio book from his bibliography, one about how to deal with negative feelings towards other people. In essence, it was a New Agey creative imaginative exercise wherein you mentally lined up all the people who had ever done you harm. Then, you visualized making their heads explode. Then, you were supposed to forgive them.

Interestingly, I got this:

[Tyrant Soup]

[Synamon]

109 / 73 percentile / below average
That's what I got as well. These tests favour extroversion in the self analysis part which will result in lower scores for introverts.

If this is scaled to match the IQ bell curve then why are numbers above 100 "below average"? Since when is 73 percentile "below average"?

[DarkfireSG]

What sultan said about extraversion and the test got me thinking.. I would agree right away, but it looks like some I's did well enough too. perhaps there is a middle ground?

I like that. EQ=67, IQ=124.

Yeah, I would say that discredits any credability the test may have had anyway. 73 percentile could not be bellow avarage. but perhaps 73% is the actual record of people who have taken the test, and "bellow avarage" is where they expected the score to fall; also, could be that the type of people who elected to take the test made that number biased.

[lechugita]

I wonder what the average is for INTJs? I scored a 79, which I think is maybe higher than average for INTJs. I am okay at comforting people but my approach is never touchy feely. but very direct and unbiased (therapist-like, not personally involved).

forgive them for making such a mess of the room upon said head explosion? fair enough...

[jndiii]

There's a bit of that. I think most of my (surprisingly high - I didn't expect such) score comes from all the items where it was asking how upset various things made me feel. There is very little in life that can upset me. If I'm visibly upset, something is extremely wrong. A friend once told me that the only time he had ever seen me "phased" was when my mom died.

Yeah, I'm not understanding that, either.

[Freedom Geek]

If there's such a thing as emotional intelligence then I should also be able to say I have logical charisma...
Besides that I agree that many measures of EQ are silly and often just value a certain personality.

I expected to score higher than this. There are one or two other portions where the description is a bit harsh but the bolded bit is the only one I would seriously contest.

Not necessarily. I scored a 92, and I'm relatively extroverted (ENFPs are the moderately introverted extroverts). However, I grew up in an abusive home, and I struggle with my feelings. I will sometimes have feelings that I can't control, and it's quite terrifying, really. I have to really process everything to a great degree, and think my way out of those feelings, and it sucks. My emotional intelligence is below average, not because I can't read other people's emotions, but because I struggle with my own emotions so much.

Just below average, I'd have thought lower really, then again I'm improving with reading people's emotions!

[Sxq]

I scored 72.
Not surprised at all.

Yes, I have problems interacting with people sometimes, I CANNOT talk about my own feelings and am uncomfortable talking about those of others.

However I do get along well with others, and don't have trouble with my own emotions as much as it suggests.

Apparently this test was posted before and when I dug up the old thread (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.*) I found this:

Looks like the Snapshot Report that everyone has been posting doesn't contain the full results of the test. I have added a note to the first post of the thread so people are aware of that before they spend the time doing the test.

According to your self-report answers, your emotional intelligence is excellent. People who score like you do feel that they have almost no trouble understanding and dealing with their own emotions and those of others. They have an easy time overcoming difficulties in their lives and they are able to control their moods. It’s easy for them to motivate themselves to overcome obstacles and reach their goals. In addition, they find social interactions to be quite easy and fulfilling, for several reasons.

[vampyroteuthis]

129, although I am with the others who expressed reservations with online testing in general and this one in particular.

I think I scored high because in my daily life I am relatively calm and unfazed, but I have no idea why that means I'm emotionally 'healthy', whatever that means. Maybe it would be more fun/edifying/'healthy' to be wildly happy, even if it meant experiencing deep lows.

It took me a long time to get to a satisfactory level. I also grew up in an emotionally abusive home with a mentally ill parent. I'm glad I was able to learn from my past and continue to imrpove for my future. I have no social skills whatsoever...it takes alot out of me! I am always nervous about meeting new people and allowing myself to be my goofy self (so I come off very conservative and uptight to some).

The description has inaccurate threshhold descriptions. You're 2 points from being average by their system, I would consider you on the borderline. XQ is derived from the average, and apparently the average person can score 110.

To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.


The report also says:

Strengths

· Excellent emotional IQ level
· High overall self-reported emotional intelligence
· Good self-reported emotional insight into self
· High comfort with expressing emotions
· High amount of goal orientation and motivation
· High opinion of own emotional intelligence
· Very little difficulty with emotional integration
· Possesses good insight into the emotions of others

Potential strengths

· Adequate objective emotional intelligence
· Adequate ability to recognize emotions in others

Areas of concern

· Poor ability to deal with own emotions and those of others Considering I get angry once in a blue moon... ok :stare:

"While life is seldom black or white, there are certainly good and bad ways to handle emotional situations. On this test, you appeared to struggle when it came to finding appropriate solutions to problems. You may have trouble making decisions about how to resolve issues in your life or when helping others do so. Conversely, you may not realize when something needs to be done; you might let things go instead of taking action. Being able to make decisions about how to deal with emotional situations is essential for many different aspects of life: having successful relationships, dealing with co-workers and handling life's obstacles, among others. Your ability to nurture others, resolve conflicts, and offer insightful advice is probably quite poor because of your struggles in this area."

LMAO @ the big font.

I must of screwed up somewhere or created rationale that is not effective to the average emotional being.


Addtional:

You scored fairly well on this assessment, indicating that both your self-report and ability scores were quite good. You appear to usually be able to accurately recognize the emotions of others, [B]manage your own feelings and know how best to approach others in an empathetic manner. I appear to know, but don't do? Moreover, you accurately perceive your abilities in this area. This is key to improving your abilities even more, as knowing your strengths and your problem areas can help you know which areas you need to concentrate on.
