About

Soft skills, often termed interpersonal skills or EQ (Emotional Intelligence), are the non-technical attributes that determine how effectively you interact with others. Unlike hard skills (which are measurable abilities like coding or accounting), soft skills are subjective and context-dependent. This assessment quantifies these abstract traits into concrete metrics using a standardized Likert Scale model.

Accuracy in self-assessment is critical. The Dunning-Kruger effect suggests that individuals with lower competence often overestimate their ability, while high-performers may underestimate it. This tool mitigates bias by aggregating multiple behavioral indicators across five orthogonal dimensions. A score below 40% indicates a critical development area, while scores above 80% suggest mastery.

Formulas

The assessment utilizes a weighted normalization algorithm to convert Likert scale responses (1-5) into a percentage index per category.

{

S_cat = n∑i=1 (r_i − 1)n × (max − 1) × 100

Where r_i is the user response (1 to 5), n is the number of questions in the category, and max is the scale maximum (5). This maps the integer range [n, 5n] to the continuous interval [0, 100].

The Radar Chart coordinates are calculated using polar-to-cartesian transformation:

{

x = c_x + R ⋅ cos(θ)y = c_y + R ⋅ sin(θ)

Where θ represents the angular offset for each category axis.

Frequently Asked Questions

Soft skills are nuanced. A binary scale fails to capture the frequency and intensity of behaviors. The 5-point scale allows for variance, distinguishing between "Occasional" behavior and "Consistent" habit formulation.

A low Adaptability score typically indicates a preference for routine and established structures. In professional settings, this may manifest as resistance to new software, process changes, or restructuring. It suggests a need to practice "cognitive flexibility" exercises.

Absolutely. Unlike IQ, which is relatively static, Soft Skills (EQ) are highly plastic. With deliberate practice - such as active listening drills or conflict simulation - scores can improve significantly within 3-6 months.

Yes. Modern organizations value "Informal Leadership" - the ability to influence peers, take initiative, and mentor juniors without formal authority. These traits are often predictors of future promotion.
