8 or more As:You are scoring very highly indeed in emotional intelligence and this may expla
in your ability to continue
functioning fairly well even in the grip of strong emotions. Your superior control over your
emotions means that even
when angry you are often able to remain fairly civil, while lower scorers resort to rudeness
and aggression. Your
understanding of the emotion others invoke in you ,and your ability to control these feeling
s, explains why you may
be able to get on with a much wider variety of people than lower scorers, and this skill of
co-
operation will explain your greater likelihood of career and relationship success in life.
6 or 7 As: above average for emotional intelligence and this may explain your superior abili
ty(compared to lower scorers)
to understand quickly what others are feelings. One possible problem you may encounte is tha
t your skills in handling
your own and others emotions leads you to focus too much on getting on with others, and to n
eglect other ingredients,
to success in life, like hard work and having good ideas. One of the reasons others may turn
to you for advice is your
ability to act wisely in human relations.
Between 3 and 5 As; Average for social intelligence, and this means your understanding of yo
ur own current emotional
state might not be quite as insightful as higher scorers. Certain goals, perhaps like financ
ial success, take priority in
your life over getting on with others, and yet no matter how many of these goals you attain,
you remain relatively
unhappy. This means you may not yet have understood what emotions in your life are really im
portant to you, or
what causes them. Your happy. May be linked to your chronic need for praise siblings or your
partner. Only when
you understand what you really need can your EQ score go up.
Between 0 and 2 As: very low in emotional intelligence and this is probably explained by you
r inability to divert
attention from concern with your own emotions to being more sensitive to how others are feel
ing. You may feel there
is too much emphasis on politeness as you like to break social rules and are not afraid of a
lienating others to get what
you want. The more emotionally intelligent way is to get others to enjoy giving you what you
want. You are perhaps
too impatient with others to be in control of your emotional state, and only when you gain m
ore emotional control
will the impulsive, temperamental side of your nature improve.
