About this test
EQ is the smart most jobs and relationships actually need. 24 honest questions across four areas — knowing yourself, managing yourself, reading the room, handling people — and you find out which one's your superpower.
Methodology
24 self-report items, 6 per Goleman EQ domain (Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, Relationship Management), balanced between forward- and reverse-keyed. Each answer on a 5-point Likert scale contributes –2 to +2 to the target domain. The domain with the highest total determines the result archetype.

FAQ + disclaimer
What are the 4 EQ domains?
Daniel Goleman's model splits emotional intelligence into Self-Awareness (knowing your own emotions), Self-Management (regulating them), Social Awareness (reading others, empathy) and Relationship Management (handling interactions). This test gives one archetype based on your strongest domain.
How is this test scored?
Each of the 24 items loads on one of the four EQ domains. Forward-keyed items add positive points; reverse-keyed items subtract. The domain with the highest total becomes your dominant domain and your result archetype.
Is this clinical?
No. This is a self-report EQ indicator for reflection and entertainment, not a clinical or diagnostic instrument. Validated instruments like the MSCEIT or EQ-i 2.0 are administered by professionals.
