About this test
Emotional intelligence is the ability to understand and manage your own emotions and those of others. Everyone has strengths in some areas more than others.
In this test, every answer is a good one: choose the one that sounds most like you to discover where you shine.
The five components of emotional intelligence
The concept was introduced by psychologists Peter Salovey and John Mayer in 1990 and popularized by Daniel Goleman in 1995. Goleman described five components: self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy and social skills.
Unlike some traits, emotional intelligence can be developed with practice. Knowing your strongest component helps you use it, and your bars show which ones you could work on.
