Emotional intelligence (EI) is the ability to monitor your and others’ feelings and to use this information to guide your thinking and actions. Extensive research shows that higher levels of EI are positively related to many important outcomes at work such as improved leadership and management skills. Source: Based on D. Goleman, Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ, (New York: Bantam, 1995).

If any of your scores are in the low or moderate ranges, you should do two things. First, you should fully understand the definition related to that score. It is very important that you develop an accurate assessment of your strengths and weaknesses. Self-understanding is the first step in self-improvement. The second step is to seek out resources that will help you to improve in this area. You will find many sources online. Among these resources are lengthier assessments which will help give a more accurate view of your position on these scales. If your scores are uniformly in the high range, this suggests you have strong EI skills. If so, you need to continue to work on developing these skills. You need to continue to manage your emotions every time difficulty arises. You need to develop and nurture every new interpersonal relationship. And, you need to be disciplined as each new task presents itself. So, high scores are not a reason to relax.
Remember your score on this self-assessment, while useful for self- understanding, should not be over-interpreted. First, every person is complex and it is impossible to fully capture your uniqueness in a short self-assessment. Second, you may well find your emotional intelligence may change over time, or you may come to understand what your EI actually is only later in life. Third, if you are seriously concerned about any of these results, you might want to talk to a professional counselor at your school or elsewhere.
