What is your Emotional IQ?

Post Reply New Topic

i got 80, but it's a boring test.

102.


What does your score mean?
Your Emotional IQ is in the average range. Essentially, you're able to recognize and deal with your own emotions and those of others in a reasonably effective manner. This is likely evident in your ability to relate to others, express your needs, and maintain a satisfactory level of emotional health. Since your score is in the mid-range, however, you are not taking full advantage of your potential. By learning and practicing new skills and more effective ways of dealing with people, you could increase your EIQ. After all, we can always improve our communication, ways of relating to others and resilience. The benefits will be numerous, including stronger relationships, a more successful career and better emotional health. Most of all, you will be an all-around happier person.

75

I got 75

I think there's some better tests out there though

I scored 86, but I don't even know how to answer some of those questions.

This quiz seems to mainly measure self-esteem, more than anything else. I wish people would stop confusing the two.

I got 88. I know these tests are bogus, but I think the description it gave sums me up nicely.

108-average

84

I got 79, but it didn´t seem like a very reliable test.

on the last eq test i did i scored 2.
couldnt get this one to load so i gave up.

EQ measures irritate me. Few seem to operationalize that variable properly... they tend to either test for self-esteem, or test for how psychologically fragile one assumes people to be. Both are missing the mark.

You can have a high self-esteem, but no emotional intelligence. There are many confident geeks out there who have little or no grasp of the emotions of others... and frankly couldn't care less about the emotions of others in the first place.

You can assume others are so fragile that they're an emotional breakdown looking for a place to happen, but this does not mean you have emotional intelligence. In fact, a lot of people are not that fragile, and treating them as if they are comes across as demeaning and insulting.

Even operationalizing EQ as the ability to motivate others doesn't work. For example, few would argue that a drill sergeant is not highly capable of motivating military recruits... but does this mean he is sensitive to their emotional needs? Hardly.

I find the test to be fairly good actually. They are indirect questions as a peep-hole into the inner person. It's much harder to ask proper, direct questions like in an IQ test (the Tickle one very nicely asks the testee to figure a2 + b2 = c2 and apply it, for example) because it's the human mind we're working with.

The reflection of how you see yourself DIRECTLY affects how you interact with others, unfortunately. That's why the questions are directed inward first and foremost - your world is within your body and mind to start with, then branches out to the outside world.

I suppose you could say it's quite a whimsical, metaphorical sort of test...but the results at the end pretty much hit the mark for a lot of people. Despite the fact that it's three blanket answers...lol.

But I suppose if someone got 80-something on an IQ test, they could argue that the test was rubbish because it didn't allow them to take advantage of their true intelligence It's all relative.

At the very least the test lets you know the areas of weakness, and what needs to be worked on Because I reckon everyone's able to at least refine their emotional and intellectual IQ, even if it's not to any remarkable extent. Humans are designed to evolve and adapt and mature, after all...ESPECIALLY in the mind.

Self-esteem can affect it, certainly. However, the correlation is hardly absolute... there are too many people out there with a high self-esteem and little to no empathy for self-esteem to serve as a completely accurate predictor.

Iunno if those out there with a high sense of self-worth and little sense of anyone else's worth can be defined as having high self-esteem, but more self-confidence and arrogance. They're far stronger in that it puts ones importance far beyond everyone else's I think self-esteem has a lot more empathy involved.
