Measure your social intelligence — your ability to read, understand, and navigate social situations.
Social intelligence (SQ) is the ability to understand and manage social relationships effectively. First identified by psychologist Edward Thorndike in 1920, social intelligence is distinct from IQ and EQ, focusing on the practical skill of navigating complex social dynamics. High social IQ individuals read social situations accurately, know how to make others feel valued, handle conflict gracefully, and build trust naturally. This test assesses social perception, social memory, social adaptation, and relationship management.
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: Low Social IQ (0–18): You may find social situations challenging to read or navigate. This is common and fully improvable with practice. Average Social IQ (19–30): Your social intelligence is in the average range. You navigate most situations competently with occasional blind spots. High Social IQ (31–40): You have a high social intelligence. You read people and situations well and navigate social dynamics with skill. Very High Social IQ (41–48): You have exceptional social intelligence. You read people, rooms, and dynamics with remarkable accuracy.
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.
