EQ test questions
How long does the EQ test take?
Most people finish the 100 questions in 10 to 20 minutes. Go with your first honest answer.
What is emotional intelligence?
It is the ability to recognize and manage your own emotions and to understand and respond to the emotions of others.
What results can I get?
Your result is one of five levels: foundational, emerging, developing, strong or advanced emotional intelligence, with a breakdown of the five areas.
Can emotional intelligence improve?
Yes. It is a set of skills rather than a fixed trait, and most people get better at it with attention and practice.
Is this a psychological assessment?
No. Thinkhint is a self-reflection test. It is not a clinical or workplace assessment.
Why take an emotional intelligence test?
Most people can think of a moment they wish they had handled differently: snapping at someone, missing that a friend was upset, or letting stress take over a conversation. Emotional intelligence is what shapes those moments, and it is hard to judge in yourself.
The test looks at five areas: self-awareness, emotional control, empathy, communication and adaptability. You may be strong in some and less so in others. Someone can read people well, for example, and still find it hard to calm down after an argument.
Use your result to see where to focus. The report is based only on your answers and is meant for self-reflection, not as a formal assessment.
