Measure your emotional intelligence across self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, and social skill.
Emotional intelligence (EQ) refers to the ability to recognise, understand, manage, and effectively use emotions — both your own and those of others. Unlike IQ, EQ is highly learnable and changeable throughout life. Research by psychologists Daniel Goleman and others has found that EQ predicts success in relationships, leadership, and wellbeing more reliably than IQ in many contexts. This test assesses four core dimensions: self-awareness, emotional regulation, empathy, and social effectiveness.
This test is designed for entertainment and self-reflection purposes. Results are not clinically validated and should not be used as a substitute for professional assessment.

This free screening takes about 4 min and includes 12 questions. Results are instant and stay on your device unless you choose to share them. It is an informal tool for self-reflection — not a diagnosis, licence, or medical report.
Score bands used on this page: Developing EQ (0–18): Your emotional intelligence appears to be in a developing stage. This is common and fully changeable with practice. Moderate EQ (19–30): You have a moderate level of emotional intelligence with clear strengths and areas to develop. Good EQ (31–40): You have a solid level of emotional intelligence. You generally manage emotions well and connect effectively with others. High EQ (41–48): You score highly on emotional intelligence — self-aware, empathetic, regulated, and socially effective.
Read the matched band and any insights or recommendations on the results screen first. If a score suggests a concern (mood, attention, sleep, or safety), talk with a GP or qualified clinician — bring a screenshot of your results as a conversation starter.
For skill-style quizzes (memory, focus, reasoning), pair this questionnaire with the interactive brain games on this site: reaction time, digit span, Stroop, and the Full Brain Test give timed practice that questionnaires cannot.
Retake after meaningful change — better sleep, a new routine, or therapy — not every day. Frequent retests mostly measure mood-of-the-moment noise.

Self-report tools can under- or over-estimate symptoms depending on insight, culture, and stress that day. They are best as a structured checklist, not a verdict.
If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, contact local emergency services or a crisis line immediately — do not wait on a quiz score.
