I got a 73 on that. It's about what I expected. I'm not confident at all--that's my problem.

119... o.O; But being rational and empathic is something I've had to learn...meh :/

This test basically scores your self-confidence, ability to express, filter and control emotions, and how in control of yourself you are in general. To understand others, you must first understand yourself. If you THINK you understand others but you can't come to terms with yourself, chances are you don't REALLY understand them after all...

Note, emotional intelligence is actually VERY important...for many jobs in society (face it, society is here for good and you either have to jump on board or be left behind) you need a high EQ yet perhaps not a high IQ. You could be dumb as a post but know how to work the crowds. Either way, whichever is your strength, there will be multiple paths for you in life so eh.

Empathy is not sympathy. Sympathy is the ability to feel pity etc for someone or something - feeling the same thing as someone else where you're not necessarily affected at all. Empathy is the ability to read, understand, interpret and correctly react to someone else's emotions or feelings at any given time. Sense when someone is pissed off at you even if they say absolutely nothing that would give it away.

But hey - like IQ, you can most definitely work on and raise your EQ

Quote:

There's some bad news and some good news. The bad news is that your Emotional IQ is relatively low. In a practical sense, this means that you are not reaching your full potential. Low EIQ has a negative impact on all aspects of life such as relationships, your emotional health and level of motivation. As a result of your behavior, others may view you as being critical, inexpressive, inhibited, detached, cold, or even condescending. Your difficulties relating to others and dealing successfully with your own emotions may have a negative impact on your health; people with lower EIQs are prone to anxiety, depression, excessive guilt, aggressiveness, low self-concept, and stress-related problems. Chances are that you also have difficulty bouncing back from life's problems. Now for the good news: by learning and practicing new skills and more effective ways of dealing with people, you can significantly improve your EIQ. The benefits will be numerous, including stronger relationships, a more successful career and better health. Most of all, you will be an all-around happier person.

That's fascinating. What hypotheses do you think we should form from this data? I don't imagine the trend holds for NTs. I see them all over the EQ spectrum.

I came in at a 114.

Wonder how much is maturity (as in "done it so long it's automatic") and how much is pure burnout!

And how valid these tests are for anything at all. :wink:

I like the meyers-briggs test and tests like it. I took a very interesting one similar to it though I don't remember what its called, but it divides people into 4 categories and each has a color. I did this in a group where we split up and went with people of the same color, and it was amazing the similarities between the people in my group.

Agreed. The MBTI is much more useful. My EQ is 99 and my MBTI is iNTP. What's yours?

I am an INTJ. My aspie ex is an INTP. Seem to be mainly INTJ and INTP with a few ISTJ thrown in among most aspies, from what I have seen on the various forums. IT seems to go without saying that many aspies have an interest in such tests.

88 for me. Probably a good thing I'm studying engineering rather than couselling
