Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Test

This is not a casual internet quiz. It is a psychometric instrument designed to map your emotional landscape against the Five-Domain Model of Emotional Intelligence. In high-stakes professional environments, EQ (Emotional Quotient) often correlates more strongly with leadership performance than IQ. This tool breaks down your behavioral patterns into actionable data points.

We address the common flaw of self-reporting - Social Desirability Bias - by utilizing reverse-coded questioning and consistency checks. The analysis goes beyond a simple score; it identifies "Blind Spots" where your self-perception may diverge from reality. Accuracy requires brutal honesty. If you find yourself selecting "Strongly Agree" for every positive trait, your results will lack validity.

The calculation utilizes a Weighted Likert Scale with Reverse Coding correction. The raw score for each domain is calculated, then normalized against a standard deviation derived from general population samples.

Where w_i is the weight of the question (1.0 or 1.5 for core traits), and r is the user response (1-5). Reverse coding ensures that a user cannot simply click the right-most option to achieve a high score.
