The Test: http://web.tickle.com/tests/eiq/

Additional Information
This test doesn't give in depth information in the results but I think their four branches correlate with the traditional branches of EQ which I listed below. Their section on expression could possibly be a bit different, but is definetely closest to emotional facilitation of thought.

Perception (page 1/2): Emotional identification, perception and expression
Expression (page 2/3): Emotional facilitation of thought
Empathy (page 4): Emotional understanding
Emotional Mangement (page 5): Emotional management


Emotional identification, perception and expression
-The ability to perceive and identify emotions in faces, tone of voice, body language
-The capacity for self-awareness: being aware of your own feelings as they are occurring
-The capacity for emotional literacy. Being able to label specific feelings in yourself and others; being able to discuss emotions and communicate clearly and directly.

Emotional facilitation of thought
-The ability to incorporate feelings into analysis, reasoning, problem solving and decision making
-The potential of your feelings to guide you to what is important to think about

Emotional understanding
-The ability to solve emotional problems
-The ability to identify and understand the inter-relationships beween emotions, thoughts and behavior. For example, to see cause and effect relationships such as how thoughts can affect emotions or how emotions can affect thoughts, and how your emotions can lead to the behavior in yourself and others.
-The ability to understand the value of emotions to the survival of the species

Emotional management
-The ability to take responsibility for one's own emotions and happiness
-The ability to turn negative emotions into positive learning and growing opportunities
-The ability to help others identify and benefit from their emotions

Chris, your Emotional IQ is 116.

This number is the result of a formula based on how many questions you answered correctly on Tickle's Emotional IQ test. But your Emotional IQ score is much more than just a number: it's an indicator of success

Research has shown that people with high emotional intelligence scores — not necessarily those with the highest IQ scores — tend to be the most valued and productive employees and have the longest and happiest romantic relationships.

So, where are you most emotionally smart? Your test results show that your strongest suit is perception — your ability to pick up on what others are feeling.

Because of this, you are unusually good at reading people's verbal and non-verbal cues. You're especially aware of the subtleties of people's actions, and can feel out the vibe of a situation better than many. That gives you and edge many wish they had. People with high perception skills like yours, however, tend to rely on them to the exclusion of others. As a result, they sometimes have underdeveloped abilities in other realms of critical emotional intelligence like managing emotions, empathy, and being expressive.

So is 116 above average EQ?

[Vagabond]

Your Emotional IQ is 112.

[...]

So, where are you most emotionally smart? Your test results show that your strongest suit is empathy — your ability to see things from someone else's point of view.

Sounds right.

[purple13]

Your Emotional IQ is 135.

So, where are you most emotionally smart? Your test results show that your strongest suit is emotional management — how much you let your emotions affect the world around you.

This is not to say, however, that emotions never contribute to your decisions. At times the emotions you are having are appropriate guides for your actions. And with your keen sense of emotional management, you'll know when and where to base decisions upon them.

Research indicates that if people who are strong emotional managers can work to increase their overall emotional IQ score, they can prepare themselves to handle any interpersonal exchange with amazing skill — especially by learning to be empathetic of others and by being able to express what it is they are feeling or trying to say.

Michael, your greatest emotional strength is Empathy

Empathic people can see things from someone else's point of view.

[Odyssey]

127 - Empathy

Approx. 93rd percentile, supposedly.

~Odyssey

[nobarcode]

...your Emotional IQ is 105.
You scored 4 out of 10 on the perception scale.
You scored 3 out of 10 on the expression scale.
You scored a 3 out of 10 on the empathy scale.
You scored a 6 out of 10 the emotional management scale.

Ho-hum

[Jezebel]

129 ~ emotional management

probably not the most accurate test, but it's a start

[cjs55]

121 - Perception.

[Nindy]

111 - Perception

[nobarcode]

105. Empathy.

:huh:

[Almaviva]

117 Perception

This is a shockingly high test result. My real world EIQ is about 60. I'm good at reading people, but come across as cold and judgemental. Well, more to the extent than I am:)

[HairlessBluetick]

124. Perception.

[purple13]

127 - Empathy

Approx. 93rd percentile, supposedly.

~Odyssey

Where did you find the percentile info?

[Chaos Symphony]

Egh. I didn't like this test at all. There are too many variables, too many gradations which the test doesn't account for. How are you supposed to put absolute values on something which relies so heavily on subtleties? And what's with all the situation questions that seem to depend on possessing certain beliefs and traits in order to get the 'right' answer? This wouldn't faze me if this was something designed by a teenager on Quizilla, but what irks me here is that they have the audacity to ask for money at the end of it for something essentially worthless, with a sales pitch that promises you'll have your life miraculously improved.

(Tests certified by PhDs? PhDs in what? Sales and Marketing?!)

And isn't this hopelessly typical?


Your colleague, Jack, has overheard you and your co-workers making plans to go out after work. You debate inviting Jack, but know he is awkward in social situations. Ultimately, you decide to:

* Encourage him to come along -- maybe he'll loosen up with more practice
* Ignore him, because you can't have as good of a time if he comes along
* Unenthusiastically invite him and tell him that it might not be his type of thing
* Pretend you don't see him and keep your head down as you leave

Where's the "ask casually, without distorting the situation one way or the other, and /accept/ the f'ing answer" option?

In any case, at the end I wound up with a 125, strength in emotional management. There has to be some sort of irony here...

(Afterthought: I'm really not as wound up as I might sound here... It's just that some things trigger my cynical aspect in a big way, and I couldn't resist.)

[jittus rye]

perception 118, but hey I know all the right things to do, its actually doing them.

[SheepDog]

I stopped at the form that requires personal information. The button labeled "express yourself" should be labeled "give up your privacy"

So what does THAT say about my emotional IQ? :)

I think that's a flaw of most multiple choice tests when there's no right or wrong answer. I often find myself thinking that I'd do something that isn't even on the list. I even get that feeling on the mbti tests. But I doubt selecting "it depends" for every answer on a test is going to give me more accurate results. So I just suck it up and pretend that I have to choose one of the paths and pick the closest one to how I behave most of the time.

As for the situation with Jack, I'm more likely to BE Jack than one of the folks worrying about inviting him out. I'm probably not going to be too concerned about him loosening up because I'll probably be in the same boat. However, I take the question as more of an example of a broader issue rather than paying attention to the specifics - do you offer to include someone who may not be "fun" for the type of group you're in, but may still enjoy being included in the activities?

Now I got that song stuck in my head....

Happy Jack wasn't old, but he was a man
He lived in the sand at the Isle of Man
The kids would all sing, he would take the wrong key
So they rode on his head on their furry donkey

The kids couldn't hurt Jack
They tried and tried and tried
They dropped things on his back
And lied and lied and lied and lied and lied

But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy

But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy

The kids couldn't hurt Jack
They tried and tried and tried
They dropped things on his back
And lied and lied and lied and lied and lied

But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy

(I saw ya!)

Point taken. That sort of abstraction /is/ pretty much the only way to approach quizzes like this if you want to get a useful result. The part that triggered my ire over the test in general was the fairly obnoxious sales and propaganda pitch wrapped around it, along with the demand for a ten dollar fee in order to obtain any proper results. As far as I can tell, the test is not nearly good enough to warrant such a fee or any or the miracle promises that are attached to it. The lack of finer gradations or contexts in the nonverbal cue-reading section, the ambiguity in the comparison statements, and the occasionally blatant bias toward some behaviors in the situation questions make this test a rather weak, if at all useful, assessment of emotional skill. It can be entertaining, yes, but serious enough to be worth any money? You'd be better off buying a book.

And for the question about Jack, my own perspective on the issue differs slightly. In making decisions about my interactions with other people, my habit is to put myself in the place of the 'victim' of the situation... My intention in noting this one was to highlight the rather condescending nature of the only positive option in that set. Yes, many of us /are/ more likely to be Jack, and I know I've read many a complaint here about extroverts who can't accept that someone might /not/ feel like being bubbly and social... As Jack, I'd really appreciate being given a straightforward choice without the pity and wheedling. It's the typical extrovert bias that I commented on.

I agree with you there. I don't take my test results too seriously from this test, and wouln't pay for something I don't take seriously.

I can't relate to the situation with the given answers. The best I can do is make it more general to fit something I can relate to. But I do see the extrovert bias as well in the question as given. I think someone who truely had empathy and a high EIQ wouldn't feel the need to mold others to be more like them.

My last post was just giving my perspective on faulty online tests and how I deal with them, but don't take it the wrong way-- I don't really disagree with anything you've said.

[Nindy]

I personally find http://quiz.ivillage.co.uk/uk_work/tests/eqtest.htm this test to be more accurate. It doesn't categorize in sorts of EQ though, but the results are simply more correct, they dare to be honest about my low EQ :D I like my IQ better :o

[Tranzors]

Guys, I find it really strange that it's giving me all this positive things about me. It's like they're trying too hard to try to make me buy their 5 page shit. Because through reading the test results i've had, you'd think i'm a perfect person.

[CamINTPeron]

Your Emotional IQ is 126.

So, where are you most emotionally smart? Your test results show that your strongest suit is emotional management

That test was weird - I got the result 45% correct answers. I wasn't even aware that there was a "correct" way to act in any given social situation. Who defines what is correct?
Anyway, the site had an interesting but long-winded way of telling me that I am a loser. :D

On Tickle, I got 124 (perception). They didn't say if it was good or bad though, but since the other site said I was below average, I assume it was bad.

[Jezebel]

That test was weird - I got the result 45% correct answers. I wasn't even aware that there was a "correct" way to act in any given social situation. Who defines what is correct?

I agree. I think I got 70% correct or something like that, but this has more to do with what one values than whether or not they know the 'right' answer.

Example: Sure, I know my friend who I allowed to drive my new car will be less happy with me when I tell them if they don't stop driving recklessly that I'm going to take over, but do I care? NO! Cars are expensive, and if he wrecks my car I could be paying higher insurance long term. To me, being a good friend does not mean allowing others to use my stuff if they fuck it up, especially if it is expensive! And yet they said my answer for that question was wrong because I didn't allow my friend to continue driving. (I know, I checked)

[Witticism]

111 - Empathy.

[Killsteel]

124 - empathy

Yeah, that seems right. I always try to be empathetic....

[booyalab]

120 empathy too.

[glassmoon]

...strongest suit is emotional management

[Bluehaze]

Emotional IQ is 128

Your test results show that your strongest suit is empathy — your ability to see things from someone else's point of view.

[melancholeric]

Kinda predictable that the poll has expression at 0.
Anyway, retook the test and got 128, management.

[Johnny]

Asd, your Emotional IQ is 125 - perception.

:hug:

[jittus rye]

If I answer questions based on what I think the ideal answer is I get 137, but my score has changed to 115 - empathy as opposed to 117 - perception if I am telling the truth.

[lexiphanic]

Nate, your Emotional IQ is 129.

This number is the result of a formula based on how many questions you answered correctly on Tickle's Emotional IQ test. But your Emotional IQ score is much more than just a number: it's an indicator of success.

Research has shown that people with high emotional intelligence scores — not necessarily those with the highest IQ scores — tend to be the most valued and productive employees and have the longest and happiest romantic relationships.

So, where are you most emotionally smart? Your test results show that your strongest suit is empathy — your ability to see things from someone else's point of view.


Bla bla bla...

[athman]

I got 124 - emotional management.

I then did it with my two kids (8 & 10) trying to pick the 'wrong' answers. :devil: Their favourite was giving brownies to the colleague who did better in weight loss. :laser: Our score was 95 - expression.

[matthew0028]

120, empathy.

Wow, no emotionally expressive people here. I wonder why that could be... :whistle:

[coffeezombie]

Your Emotional IQ is 109. Your test results show that your strongest suit is empathy — your ability to see things from someone else's point of view.

Wow, that high? lol

[hugin]

Your Emotional IQ is 138. Your test results show that your strongest suit is empathy — your ability to see things from someone else's point of view.

(I see someone trying to sell me something)
