What does your score mean?
General EIQ
Includes overall (your score = 74), behavioral aspect (80) and knowledge aspect scores (66)
There's some bad news and some good news. The bad news is that your Emotional IQ is quite 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.
At least part of the reason for your poor performance on this test is that you don't have the knowledge necessary for the full development of your emotional intellect. There are, in fact, actual priniciples of emotionally "smart" behavior that you can learn and apply to your day-to-day life. And the good news is that it's never too late to start learning, whether you scored low or high.. Make some effort and it will most certainly pay off in the long run.
Emotional insight into self (you scored 85)
Your score on Emotional Insight was relatively low. People with such a score are generally out of touch with their own emotions, and sometimes fail to recognize or identify their true feelings (they feel them at the physiological level but cannot verbalize it or conceptualize them). They may have problems pinpointing the underlying reasons for their own actions, which could potentially lead to miscommunication in interactions with others. They may also lack the ability to make themselves feel better when upset, angry or sad. In addition, people with this profile tend to have a low self-esteem, occasionally lack self-control in certain highly charged situations and experience difficulties bouncing back from life's setbacks. While there may be an advantage to rational detachment from their own emotions - that it softens the pain (at least for the moment) - it also has a serious disadvantage; they may not be able to enjoy positive feelings.
Goal orientation and motivation (you scored 97)
You had an average score on Motivation and Goal-orientation. People with such a score generally possess an adequate amount of intrinsic motivation and self-discipline to work towards goals - but they could certainly benefit from more. They may sometimes get overwhelmed when faced with obstacles or lose their incentive easily. This may be a result of a need for external reinforcement (like praise, frequent encouragement) and irregular internal motivation (personal satisfaction over reaching goals), which makes it more challenging to stick things out in the long-term. They may also experience the occasional difficulty delaying gratification or sometimes choose the easier route to reaching a goal. Individuals with this profile may do well enough to succeed up to a certain extent, but have the potential to achieve even more if they find ways to increase their drive.
Ability to express emotions (you scored 86)
You had a fairly low score on Emotional Expression. People with such a score have difficulty handling strong emotions, both in themselves and in others. They generally don't feel comfortable expressing their feelings, and are unsure how to communicate those feelings to others even when they wish to. Individuals who are unable to express emotions are often overwhelmed when faced with emotional situations, like other people who are distraught or upset. In fact, this lack of comfort can even include an avoidance of expressing positive feelings and interacting with anyone exhibiting any strong emotional reaction, good or bad. This often results in repression of feelings and pent up emotions that can lead to anger, sadness and emotional distance from others. People with this profile generally don't ask for support, and attempt to ignore or rationalize away their emotions. They often feel like they need to protect their integrity or ego by hiding what they consider "irrational" emotions. They tend to put on a poker face (perhaps as a type of defense mechanism), but they may not realize that others can't tell what they are feeling. While they may actually be very sensitive, they could come across as cold and uninvolved.
Social insight and empathy (you scored 79)
You had a low score on Social Insight and Empathy. People with such a profile typically have difficulty recognizing the emotions of others and thus cannot respond adequately. They have difficulties understanding the underlying motives behind people's actions, which may hinder their social interactions - they respond to the face value of behavior and are likely to misread and react to the "wrong" interpretation of the situation. They find it difficult to put themselves into someone else's shoes and see the situation from another person's perspective. This tendency can make them a bit narrow-minded and set in their ways. When other people behave in a way that is very different from their own, they just don't get it. These people should not be assigned to function as negotiators without extensive training. They are not generally empathetic or "in tune" with how others are feeling, lack social insight and may have some trouble making meaningful human connections. For individuals of this nature, it can seem that other people's reactions come out of the blue - they cannot anticipate what's coming and are therefore forced to react on the spot.
