Sharing about my EQ

---

I will be sharing to you my second EQ Test (Emotional Quotient Test) or better known as the Emotional Intelligence Test since I have doubts about the credibility and validity of the questions presented by the first website from which where I took my first EQ test.

After sometime looking for another website EQ tester I ended up with the website:

http://psychology.about.com/library/quiz/bl_eq_quiz.htm

In the website was a thorough explanation about the Emotional Intelligence ability of a person:

  

"Emotional intelligence (EI) refers to the ability to perceive, control, and evaluate emotions. Some researchers suggest that emotional intelligence can be learned and strengthened, while other claim it is an inborn characteristic. A number of testing instruments have been developed to measure emotional intelligence, although the content and approach of each test varies. The following quiz presents a mix of self-report and situational questions related to various aspects of emotional intelligence."

Underneath that explanation was a question:

What is your emotional intelligence quotient? Take the quiz to learn more.

I was presented with this first question. It was already noticeable that the questions where all about certain situation, scenarios and dilemmas and a group of choices was presented as of to how would I respond to the different cases presented by the quiz. Of course there is no correct or wrong answer in here, but answering truthfully and honestly will really help.

After answering all the questions I was then ready to view my results.

The IE test results for me were:

In my EQ Test I scored above average, as interpreted by the site people with above average EQ scores tend to be very good at interpreting, understanding, and acting upon emotions. The site also quoted that above average scorers are also good at dealing with social and emotional conflicts, doesn’t have a hard time expressing their feelings, and are able to deal with emotional situations.

Though the interpretation of the results wasn’t a perfect fit, there were areas in myself that was indeed dead-on accurate as presented by the results of the site. Answering all the questions honestly basing from what you really would do does greatly to clearly know yourself more.
