I've just taken an EQ (emotional intelligence) test as I assumed I would fair really badly due to the aspergers and wanted to know where I was with it. But this was my result:

Code:

Your score indicates that you have an above average EQ.

Remember you responses need to have been as honest as possible. If you feel that your score does not reflect you, please retake the test and answer each question in the way that best represents the way you typically feel.

People that typically score in this range are able to recognise and understand their feelings as well as being able to express them in an appropriate manner. They are comfortable with who they are. They are not afraid to show love, empathy and compassion for other people. They are comfortable with intimacy and comfortable about giving of themselves to other people.

They are also very good communicators. They are very in tune with themselves and those around them. In most circumstances they know how to say the right thing at the right moment. They are good friends and partners. They are able to show anger in appropriate ways and are not afraid to stand up for what they believe. They are not afraid to cry if they are hurt. They are not afraid to admit that they are wrong, or embarrassed to say they are sorry.

They are typically happy, well-rounded people. They easily accept challenges and are able to stay motivated and focused in the face of setbacks. They are able to set and achieve goals for themselves. They are positive and optimistic about themselves, the others around them, and their future.

Remember that emotional intelligence never stops growing. Because people are always evolving, EQ is something that needs to be nurtured. If it isn't your emotional intelligence will disappear. Continue to utilise the emotional intelligence that you have and continue to identify and work on areas that need work. If you do this, your EQ will continue to flourish!

We wish you the best of luck.

I'm assuming that a computer generated quiz could be distorted or not take Aspergers / Autism into account so I don't know. Here is the test for anyone else.

There's a thread on here with a different EQ test. I scored in the ret*d range as did most aspies. You can search for it at the top.

People who typically score in this range are usually able to recognise and understand their feelings and to express them in an appropriate manner. They are fairly comfortable with who they are. In most circumstances they are not afraid to show love, empathy and compassion for other people. In general, they are comfortable with intimacy, and giving of themselves to other people.

They are pretty good communicators. They are fairly in tune with themselves and those around them. They generally know how to say the right thing at the right moment. They are good friends and partners. They are normally able to show anger in appropriate ways. More often than not, they are able to stand up for themselves when necessary, but also are not afraid to cry if they are hurt. They are able to admit when they are wrong and take steps to correct their mistakes. They are rarely unable to say they are sorry.

They are generally happy, well-rounded people. They accept challenges. They can stay motivated and focused in the face of setbacks. They are able to set goals for themselves and often achieve them. They are positive and optimistic about themselves, others around them, and their future.

However, just because people with an average EQ have a pretty good grasp on their emotions they still have plenty of room for emotional growth. They can continue to be introspective. They can continue to communicate with the people around them and continue to work on their goals. They can utilise what they have and continue to identify areas within themselves that need work.

Remember that a person's emotional intelligence never stops growing. Because we are always evolving as people, EQ is something that must be nurtured. If it isn’t cultivated, emotional intelligence will disappear.

We wish you the best of luck with your future EQ.

Actually I have a low EQ, between 60-80.
Perhaps more in the 60s these days.

This quiz was too short.
Many of the answer were things I could never communicate even if I wanted to.
Many of the situations are situations I've rarely or never been in.

Try this very long EQ test:

I got 64. I wonder if that test may be more useful than IQ tests/academic success for predicting success in the real world.

I first took the Queendom test before I knew of my Aspie tendencies... I was quite surprised by the results. To find out you are pretty much emotionally ret*d when you think you are "normal" is a bit uncomfortable. Now it completely makes sense!

Subscale IQ score = 66
Subscale percentile = 1

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.

didn't bother posting the rest of it because it was bollocks. I don't have low self esteem, and I don't particularly want a higher EQ.

I didn't want to alienate anyone with that test, I'm sure that it is pretty normal to come out with a bad score if you have aspergers. For people who came out like me, what is your diagnosis if official? I'm not diagnosed officially yet but it may point me in the right direction or give me some idea as to what I have.
