Your seven components
Noticing and thinking about your own feelings
You notice your feelings when they are strong, but do not always stop to analyse them.
Expressing joy, affection and warmth
You tend to keep your happy feelings and affection to yourself. Others may find it harder to know when you are glad or that you care.
Letting others see sadness, fear and anger
Your sadness, fear and anger show clearly, in your face and in what you say. People around you usually know when something is wrong.
Letting feelings, not only logic, guide your choices
You listen to your heart when making important choices and believe emotions give direction to life.
Being lifted by other people's happiness
Other people's happiness lifts you at times, depending on your own mood.
Being affected when others suffer
Other people's suffering affects you, but you can usually stay composed.
Caring about people who are worse off
You feel strong concern and sympathy for others, including people who are worse off or who have made mistakes.
About this test
The test describes how you see yourself, often called trait emotional intelligence. It is not an ability test: it does not measure how accurately you read emotions, which requires tasks with right and wrong answers. Each scale has 9 or 10 statements, so treat small differences as approximate.
