EQ Test

I scored a 123 but this test somewhat bothered me. It asks a lot about your own personality, not just what you understand and can comprehend. It seemed to be trying to measure two traits at once. Yes I may act a little bottled up and shy myself, but I am perfectly capable of understanding others. The test seemed to throw a wrench into its validity with that. Anyone who has taken a real EQ test have any comparisons between their outcomes and if this test seems as valid?

there is no set test for emotion, as it is too vast to take in just one test

[Jakalwarrior]

You can test a persons ability to accurately percieve and understand the emotions of others though. You can also test their ability to judge what responses a person in a specific emotional state would give to certain stimuli. That is what I was expecting from an EQ test but that only made up about 50% of the test. The rest was about how well you deal with your own emotions and whether or not your responses go along with what is culturally percieved as "healthy" or "normal".

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. 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.

That part of the test was particularly annoying.

89. Doesn't surprise me.

I don't think it matters how you score on any EQ test. If you're getting the results you want out of life, that's what matters. ... I took this one out of curiosity, because I've never taken one and didn't know how they worked. I had a hard time staying interested, though. Kinda boring.

[Brilliance]

I got 89 on this test..

I'm a pretty private person so some of the questions don't apply well.

[ssrprotege]

I took it before, and I got 67.

I got 93 (I think I've taken this test before, though, and I think my score was lower). Does anyone else think stuff like this would benefit from subscores? Like when you take IQ test or IQ test-style tests, they'll sometimes tell you that you were particularly good on certain things, average on others, and so on (like if you have really good verbal skills but not as good math skills). Somehow I doubt that the ability to make people like you and the ability to motivate yourself are governed by the same skill.

Heh, heh. I consider myself to be a pretty good judge of people, and to do pretty well getting along with folks, making peace, etc.

I scored a 79.

Perhaps this gives insight into why, when my view of myself is put to the test, it often turns out to be incorrect... :p

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.

I got 86, ouch. But it mixes together many things that it shouldn't.

[TheLastMohican]

Ah, such fond memories of this test. A few months ago I took it and scored 94. I then took it a second time, with all the same answers, except placed at the extremes of the number scales. That time I scored 153.

[ElstonGunn]

That test assumes too much.

That being said, I got an 86. But I gave sarcastic for a little while towards the middle.

[Seppuku Savant]

I got bored when they started asking questions about that picture. Thus, didn't finish.

Edit: 81

Got curious...so I took it...

Subscale IQ score = 101
Subscale percentile = 53

According to your self-report answers, your emotional intelligence is slightly below average. People who score like you do feel that their ability to understand and deal with their own emotions and those of others is just barely acceptable. Emotionally intelligent people have an easy time overcoming difficulties in their lives and they are generally 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. 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; likely due to an empathetic nature and a solid ability to offer advice. Perhaps by working on your problem areas, you can become more confident in dealing with your own emotions and those of others.
