Emotional IQ

My IQ report really kind of echoed what I already felt about myself...it is below if anyone is curious. The test is prefaced by a description comparing it to an actual IQ test that is based more on intelligence as it relates to puzzles and questions that are of a more right/wrong nature...what I find interesting is that with a test like this...I can answer however I want and doctor it up to be as favorable as possible and nobody would be the wiser...so while this can be a useful tool I wouldn't be too likely to use it as an evaluation of someone where a lot is at stake.

According to your self-report answers, your emotional intelligence is average. People who score like you do feel that their ability to understand and deal with their own emotions and those of others is acceptable but could still use some improvement. Emotionally intelligent people have an easy time overcoming difficulties in their lives and they are generally able to control their moods. It’s easy for them to motivate themselves to overcome obstacles and reach their goals. In addition, they find social interactions to be quite easy and fulfilling, for several reasons. They are comfortable allowing themselves to get close with others, and feel comfortable being vulnerable enough to establish intimacy. They also report having an easy time offering support to others; likely due to an empathetic nature and a clear mind when it comes to offering good advice. Perhaps by working on your problem areas, you can become more confident in dealing with your own emotions and those of others.
