What is your Emotional IQ?

Self Esteem: "troubled youths," what we once called juvenile delinquents, have very high self-esteem. Aspies, as a group, have very low self-esteem and are often the most caring. What does that say about self-esteem being related to anything?

What does your score mean?

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.

I'm emotionally ret*d...

It seems to be a different kind of caring from what I've seen, anyway. I'm starting to notice something interesting...I know Aspies are incredibly caring, selfless folks, generous to a fault... but I don't in the least bit feel it from my Aspie friends. Worst of all is from my partner...I know he cares, but I HAVE to assume and know it because he's pretty much emotionally screwed. He's never even said 'I love you', as basic as it is to simply say. 'You mean a lot to me' is as close as it's gotten

It's a more functional sort of caring I think, looking from the outside. We NTs find it extremely difficult to detect at all. The emotions are all off as is their control from what I've seen IRL.

That test actually processes all of that. Along with self-esteem it's looking at emotional management, how you deal with emotions overall and in certain circumstances. Self-punishment is first and foremost a lack of self-esteem, but a bit of an emotional dysfunction. How you deal with less-than-positive situations...not just self-esteem but again, emotional management.

I think I managed to get the figures I did in this test because I've knocked out a lot of the management issues I had. I used to get flustered, beat myself up a lot. My current job has been a nightmare and a learning experience; nowadays when there's a major disaster (eg: an advertiser in our publication wanting a change to their ad or a court battle WHILE IT'S ON THE PRESS, and the finger being pointed at me because I didn't think to make a phone call to let them know I'd sent them an email proof of their artwork) I've learned to be cool under fire, handle the situation, dissipate the anger and frustration, and save the emo moments for later.

It all starts from the inside...just learning to process and control things without hiding emotions completely; refining them into a more useful form for the benefit of yourself and ultimately others too

EIQ= 84
RDOS=147

They have no idea what my potential is. Maybe this is as good as I can possibly manage. Standard IQ tests don't make these crappy judgements.

i redid it and got 89, whooooo go me lol

Says I got 93.

I got an 81. I know from taking Psychological Assessment that this test is not a valid measure of "emotional intelligence." It's something to take for fun that might shed some light on the truth. However, it is not a scientific measurement of a trait.

Maybe if I had gotten a higher score I would say "Yeah. This test is incredibly valid and scientific."

Oddly enough, what this test calls "low emotional intelligence" can be reinforcing. There are things my friends find "endearing" about me that could account for my "low EQ." For instance, I have a friends from college who think it's hilarious that I freak out when I lose my keys. Freaking out over "little things" has actually made some people like me more! But then there's my boyfriend who gets woken up when I can't sleep because I throw a fit...

94- average EQ. These tests are designed by NTs for NTs. They measure self-esteem levels, not actual interpersonal skills. My self-esteem is pretty good, but I still have big communication problems. If the test had concentrated on how a person actually relates to others, I would have scored a lot lower.

I got an 87.

I got 89... but I really don't think that things like how often you like to think you're stupid actually relate to this...
