Emotional IQ Test Measures Your Emotional Intelligence

Emotional IQ test measures your capability, capacity or deftness to understand, evaluate and manage emotions. Like intelligence, the emotional intelligence (EI) is also an abstract term but there is more weight in the arguments of proponents of the EI than the experts of classic IQ tests.

Psychologists, like Mayer differentiate EI from emotional knowledge. Some of them believe that EQ measure your cognitive abilities as the classic IQ tests do. Some others from the same group think that emotional IQ test measures a combination of your perceived abilities and traits.

The term of EI was used first time by Thorndike in 1920. He intended to use it to understand and manage emotions of other people. Then Gardener’s theory of Multiple Intelligence identified eight intelligences.

Psychologists like Gardner believe that traditional types of intelligence have failed to fully explain phenomenon of your cognitive abilities. Goleman, Pane, Carl Lans etc followed the same line of argument and developed the concept of emotional IQ test further.

The term of EI was first scientifically used by Beasley. Slaovey and Mayer described it in details to prove that EI is a real type of intelligence.
