EQ Test: Determine Your Level of Emotional Development

Nowadays, the standard IQ test is becoming a thing of the past because no direct correlation has been found between life success and happiness and the intelligence quotient. Emotional intelligence has come to the forefront. It is the ability to manage your emotions that is most valued in the 21st century.

Emotional intelligence is a person's ability to recognize emotions, understand the intentions, motivations, and desires of others and oneself, as well as the ability to manage one's own and others' emotions to solve practical problems.

The concept of emotional (social) intelligence emerged as a response to the frequent inability of traditional intelligence tests to predict a person's success in career and life. An explanation was found in the fact that successful people are capable of effective interaction with others based on emotional connections and effective management of their own emotions, whereas the accepted notion of intelligence did not include these aspects, and intelligence tests (IQ) did not assess these abilities.

To determine the degree of a person's emotional development, the concept of the emotional quotient (EQ) was introduced (Emotional Quotient, analogous to Intelligence Quotient, IQ). The rise of emotional intelligence theory occurred in the 1980s and 1990s. In the early 21st century, the development of the emotional intelligence concept continued even more actively, and today the emotional quotient (EQ) is valued significantly higher than the intelligence quotient (IQ).

The opinion of the well-known science journalist Daniel Goleman (author of the popular science book Emotional Intelligence, in which he described the development of the emotional intelligence theory) regarding the importance of emotional development was discussed earlier in this article.

Now, to assess your EQ, we offer a short test. Naturally, this test, like others, provides only a very approximate and "average" answer to the question posed. In life, of course, things are much more complex. So, don't take it too seriously; its function is more entertaining and supportive. However, at the same time, the test result is a reason to reflect.
