What is an emotional intelligence test?
An emotional intelligence (EQ) test looks at how well you notice, understand and manage emotions — your own and other people’s. There are no wrong answers; it simply maps your current emotional skills and where they can grow.
Where will you land?
EQ is a skill you can build at any age, so this is a starting line, not a ceiling. Answer all 40 questions honestly to see your current level.

About the Emotional Intelligence Test
An emotional intelligence (EQ) test measures how well you recognise, understand and manage emotions, both your own and other people's. The concept was popularised by psychologist Daniel Goleman and is commonly broken into self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy and social skills.
How it works
The 40 questions present everyday situations, such as receiving criticism, calming a friend or handling a tense meeting, and ask how you would typically respond. Your answers place you in one of four EQ levels: High, Above average, Developing or Growing. When you finish, you get a written report explaining your result, the strengths often paired with it and practical next steps.
