Start TestIn psychology, “emotional intelligence” has a more specific meaning than in everyday speech. In a 1990 paper, researchers Peter Salovey and John Mayer described it as a set of skills: noticing and expressing emotions, in yourself and in others; regulating those emotions; and using your feelings to plan and act.
Over time, research split into two lines (Mayer, Salovey and Caruso, 2008). One treats emotional intelligence as a mental ability. The other, called trait emotional intelligence, is about how you see your own emotions and abilities (Petrides and Furnham, 2001). The two are also measured in different ways: the first uses tasks with right and wrong answers, like a reasoning test, and the second uses questionnaires in which people describe themselves (Hasan and colleagues, 2023).
The quizzes on this site are neither. They are 8 short self-reflection quizzes, 4 questions each, on everyday emotional themes. Like trait emotional intelligence questionnaires, they ask you to describe yourself, but they are not versions of those questionnaires: we set the result ranges ourselves, and the quizzes have not been scientifically validated. They do not measure your emotional intelligence, they do not diagnose anything, and they are not a substitute for talking with a professional.
Use your result as a starting point for thinking about yourself, not as a measurement.
