Emotional Intelligence Test

Emotional Intelligence Quotient Test

EQ, the social equivalent of IQ, is complex, in no small part because it depends on some pretty slippery variables — including your innate compatibility, or lack thereof, with the people who happen to be your co-workers. But if you want to get a rough idea of how your EQ stacks up, this quiz will help.

Answering the following 25 questions will allow you to rate your social skills and self-awareness. As honestly as you can, estimate how you rate in the eyes of peers, bosses, and subordinates on each of the following traits.

I usually stay composed, positive, and unflappable even in trying moments.
I can think clearly and stay focused on the task at hand under pressure.
I’m organized and careful in my work.
I regularly seek out fresh ideas from a wide variety of sources.
I’m good at generating new ideas.
I can smoothly handle multiple demands and changing priorities.
I’m results-oriented, with a strong drive to meet my objectives.
I like to set challenging goals and take calculated risks to reach them.
I’m always trying to learn how to improve my performance, including asking advice from people younger than I am.

I actively seek out opportunities to further the overall goals of the organization and enlist others to help me.
I pursue goals beyond what’s required or expected of me in my current job.
Obstacles and setbacks may delay me a little, but they don’t stop me.
Cutting through red tape and bending outdated rules are sometimes necessary.
I seek fresh perspectives, even if that means trying something totally new.
My impulses or distressing emotions don’t often get the best of me at work.
I can change tactics quickly when circumstances change.
Pursuing new information is my best bet for cutting down on uncertainty and finding ways to do things better.
