Dr. Karl Albrecht offers the following definition of Emotional Intelligence:

Emotional Intelligence is the ability to understand, manage, and express your emotions, and to maintain a positive state of mind while dealing with the challenges of your everyday life and your interactions with others.

 

"Change your thoughts and you change your world."

~ Norman Vincent Peale, pioneer of
positive psychology

 

For each of the questions on the list below, think carefully — and honestly — about how they might describe you (or the person you're rating, if not yourself). Click one of the numbered columns from 0 through 4, to show how consistently you or they believe you behave one way vs. the other.

Click 0 if you or they always or almost often engage in the Low-EI pattern, 1 for fairly often, 2 for an equal mixture of both low and high patterns, 3 for mostly the High-EI pattern, and 4 for always maintaining the High-EI pattern.

The net "EI" score will be the sum of all the individual scores. The highest possible score — all High-EI behaviors – would be 100 points. The lowest possible score — all Low-EI behaviors – would be zero. Items left unanswered will default to zero.

When you've selected all your ratings, click the "Get Your Score" button and scroll to the bottom of the page to see the net EI score.

Note: the comparison questions (gender, age, etc.) are only used for anonymous statistical analysis. We do not set cookies, or identify you or your computer in any way. The name field is just for your convenience in studying the report.
