Emotional Intelligence- EQ Assessment for Leaders
Are you emotionally intelligent?
Let’s try this assessment.
It’s gonna help you check your Emotional Intelligence.
Let’s see how it works in 3 steps.
1. So, first off, the assessment is split into these areas of emotional intelligence:
→ Self-awareness
→ Self-regulation
→ Social skills
→ Motivation
→ Empathy
2. Each area has 4 “statements”.
We just need to:
→ Read them
→ Reflect on them
→ And rate them
How?
By choosing one of these 5 options:
→ Not at all
→ Rarely
→ Sometimes
→ Often
→ Very Often
Let’s see now the statements for each area.
1. Self-awareness
→ I know what I’m good at and where I need to improve
→ I’m pretty good at recognizing how I feel in the moment
→ I often take time to think about my thoughts and feelings
→ I make sure to ask for feedback to know what I’m doing well and where I can do better
2. Self-regulation
→ When things get tough, I usually keep my cool
→ I handle stress pretty well and don’t let it get to me too much
→ I can really concentrate on something for a long time without getting distracted
→ I’m good at controlling my emotions, especially when I’m feeling anxious or upset
3. Social Skills
→ People often say I’m a good listener
→ I’m quick to connect with new people or colleagues
→ I enjoy working with others and organizing group stuff
→ I’m pretty good at dealing with conflicts and negotiations, whether at work or with friends
4. Motivation
→ I find real meaning and purpose in what I do
→ I’m super driven to achieve my goals, even when things get tough
→ I stay excited and focused on what I’m working on for the long haul
→ I’m good at bouncing back from setbacks and staying determined to succeed
5. Empathy
→ I’m sensitive to others’ feelings and try to be supportive
→ I can usually understand how others are feeling pretty well
→ I’m good at picking up on others’ emotions and responding appropriately
→ I’m pretty good at understanding others’ perspectives and where they’re coming from
3. Alright! Now you just need to give them a score.
How?
By associating each answer with its corresponding “value.”
Look at this:
→ Not at all (value: 1)
→ Rarely (value: 2)
→ Sometimes (value: 3)
→ Often (value: 4)
→ Very Often (value: 5)
This way, you can check:
→ Your Emotional Intelligence Score
→ The scores for each area
→ And, most importantly, figure out where you need to improve
