Your EQ style
Reader
Picks up what others feel and what the room needs.
What you'll find out
Your EQ score and band
A 0 to 100 score that blends your self-report (70 percent) with your choices in eight situations (30 percent): Developing, Solid, Strong or Standout.
Four domains, eight facets
Self-awareness, self-management, social awareness and relationship management, each split in two so you see what drives the score.
Your EQ style
Reflector, Anchor, Reader or Connector, named after your strongest domain, or All-Round when the four move together.
How you act under pressure
Eight workplace situations, from a public correction to an angry customer, show whether your behavior matches your self-view.
How it works
Part 1
How you handle emotions
44 questions
Short statements about noticing, managing, reading and handling emotions at work. Some are phrased in reverse, so agreeing with everything does not inflate the result.
Part 2
Situations
8 questions
Realistic workplace moments with four options each. Choose what you would actually do; one option handles both the feeling and the task.
Then
Your report
Your score, style and four domains appear the moment you finish. The full report adds the facets, the situation analysis, a practice plan and a shareable card.
The four EQ domains
Emotional intelligence is usually described as four connected abilities. Your style is the one you lean on most; your growth area is the one that trails.
Self-awareness
Do I know what I feel, and how I come across? Style: Reflector.
Self-management
Can I stay composed, and recover when things go wrong? Style: Anchor.
Social awareness
Do I pick up what others feel, and what is going on in the room? Style: Reader.
Relationship management
Can I influence people, handle conflict and support colleagues? Style: Connector.

Built on the four-domain model of emotional intelligence
Most researchers describe emotional intelligence as a set of abilities in four areas: perceiving and understanding your own emotions, managing them, perceiving emotions in others, and handling relationships. This test uses that structure, with every statement framed for work.
Self-report tests of EQ have a known weakness: people with lower emotional intelligence tend to overrate themselves. That is why 30 percent of your score comes from situational judgement, where you choose what you would do in eight realistic workplace moments, and why the report shows the gap between the two when there is one.
Scores compare your answers with the scale, not with a norm group. Treat them as a mirror for development, not a verdict.
A self-assessment of emotional intelligence at work for reflection and development, not a validated psychometric test and not for hiring or promotion decisions.
Questions and answers
How long does the emotional intelligence test take?
About 9 to 10 minutes for 44 statements and 8 situations. Your progress is saved in your browser after every answer.
Is this EQ test free?
Yes. Your EQ score, band, style and four domain scores are free without signing up. The full report is free too, with a free account so you can keep it and track changes.
What is a good EQ score?
Scores run from 0 to 100. Below 50 is Developing, 50 to 64 Solid, 65 to 79 Strong, and 80 and above Standout. Most people land in Solid or Strong; the useful information is which domain trails, not the overall number.
How is this different from other emotional intelligence tests?
It is framed for work, it names an EQ style from your strongest domain, and 30 percent of the score comes from what you say you would do in real situations rather than from self-description alone. The report shows when those two disagree.
Can emotional intelligence be improved?
Yes, and more reliably than most traits. The practice plan in the full report gives one small, repeatable practice for each of your two lowest facets; two weeks of repetition in real situations changes more than any amount of reading.
What happens to my answers?
They stay in your browser while you take the test. They are only stored if you create an account and keep your result, and you can delete it at any time.
