Emotional Intelligence Self-Assessment
Looks at how you notice, understand, and manage emotions in yourself and others, and how you use emotions to guide thinking and decisions.
What this assessment explores
Emotional intelligence isn't about being good with feelings in a vague sense – it's about specific skills: recognising what you and others are feeling, making sense of those emotions, and being able to work with them rather than against them. This assessment explores how those skills show up for you across five distinct areas. It's built on the BEIS-10, a clinically validated measure grounded in Salovey and Mayer's established framework of emotional intelligence.
See the original scaleWhat you can expect
There are 10 questions, and they'll ask you to reflect on how you tend to experience and work with emotions – your own and other people's.
The questions touch on things like:
- Recognising and identifying your own emotional states
- Reading and interpreting emotions in others
- Managing your own emotional responses
- Influencing how others feel in interactions
- Using emotions to support your thinking and problem-solving
Your responses give you a clearer picture of where your emotional intelligence is strongest – and where there might be room to develop further.
