Emotional intelligence is the capacity to notice feelings, use them well, and respond with skill in daily life. This questionnaire estimates your current pattern across self awareness, self regulation, motivation and utilization, and social awareness and management.

You rate 33 short statements from strongly disagree to strongly agree, then you receive a total score and a clear profile that shows where strengths cluster. A quick emotional intelligence self report questionnaire helps you compare today with future check ins.

Results arrive as a single number with an easy band and a facet breakdown, so you can see both your overall level and which areas likely drive it. A short example in the next section shows how the scoring works in practice.

If you select mostly agree you might land near the typical range and see one or two facets stand out. If you often select strongly disagree you will probably sit lower and the next steps will focus on simple habits you can try this week.

Self report can shift with stress, sleep, and context, so treat a single pass as a snapshot and repeat later for a more stable picture. For the clearest comparisons use the same setting and pace each time and think about the past few months.

This tool provides informational estimates and does not substitute professional advice. Results do not constitute a clinical diagnosis.

Technical Details:

The Schutte Self‑Report Emotional Intelligence Test (SSEIT) gathers 33 ordinal ratings on a five‑point scale. The quantities observed are item responses about emotional perception, regulation, use, and social understanding. The index reported is a total score that summarizes these responses for a single time point.

The computation transforms three reverse‑worded items and then sums all items. Reverse items are recoded so higher always means more of the construct. The total spans 33 to 165. A band label communicates where the score sits relative to typical adult ranges, and facet subscores organize items into four skill clusters for a quick strengths‑and‑gaps view.

Facet labels use percentage of each facet’s maximum to classify low, typical, or high. Comparisons are most meaningful within a person across time; between‑person gaps near the band edges should be read with care. The interface also reports an average item score for simple tracking.

Symbol Meaning Unit/Datatype Source
S Total SSEIT score points Derived
si Item response for item i integer 1 to 5 Input
si′ Recoded item response points Derived
R Reverse‑scored item indices set Constant
n Number of items integer 33 Constant
Threshold band Lower bound Upper bound Interpretation Action cue
Low 33 110 Below typical range Practice basic noticing and naming
Normal 111 137 Within typical range Consolidate strengths and train one facet
High 138 165 Above average Maintain consistency under pressure

Facet subscores group items as implemented: Self‑Awareness (6 items; max 30), Self‑Regulation (4 items; max 20), Motivation & Utilization (11 items; max 55), Social Awareness & Management (12 items; max 60). Each facet is labeled low, typical, or high using ≤33%, ≤66%, or >66% of its maximum.

Networking & storage behavior. Processing is client‑only and answers are not uploaded. A chart script may load with the page; your selections are encoded in the address as a compact r value so shared links can reveal responses.

Privacy & compliance. No data is transmitted or stored server‑side. Treat shared links as sensitive if they include your answers.

Step‑by‑Step Guide:

Emotional intelligence scoring with practical next steps.

  1. Read each statement and think about the past few months.
  2. Select a rating from 1 to 5 that best fits you.
  3. Watch the progress bar reach 100 percent.
  4. Review your total, band, and facet bars.
  5. Scan the highlights and next steps and note one action.
  6. Optionally export answers or copy the link with the encoded state.

Example: If your total reads 132 and Motivation & Utilization is highest, schedule creative work after energizing activities this week.

You now have a clear reading and one concrete move to try.

FAQ:

Is my data stored?

No. Scoring is performed locally and answers are not uploaded. If you share the link, the encoded state may reveal your selections.

Protect shared URLs if they include your responses.
How accurate is the result?

It reflects your self report at one point in time. The banding uses fixed thresholds and a typical adult average near the middle of the normal range.

Repeat at similar times to improve stability.
What do the facets mean?

They aggregate items into self awareness, self regulation, motivation and use, and social awareness and management to show skill clusters.

Labels use percentage of each facet’s maximum.
Can I use it offline?

Yes after the page loads. The scoring runs locally. If a chart library fails to load, the numeric results still apply.

Reload with a connection if the gauge is missing.
Can I export or share results?

You can copy answers as CSV or export DOCX, and you may share a link containing the encoded selections for later review.

Shared links include your chosen responses.
What does a borderline result mean?

Scores near 110 or 137 can feel ambiguous. Look to facet bars and highlights and track changes across repeated runs before acting.

Use multiple readings over time.
How is the total computed?

Three items are reverse scored, then all 33 are summed. The total ranges from 33 to 165 and is mapped to low, normal, or high.

Reverse items are 5, 28, and 33.
Does licensing or sign‑up apply?

No sign‑up is required and no server is contacted during scoring. Check the host project for any licensing details.

Functionality is self contained.

Troubleshooting:

  • No results after answering all items — ensure all 33 statements are rated.
  • Gauge missing — reload once; the numeric score still appears.
  • Link does not restore answers — the r value must be 33 characters of 1–5 or -.
  • Unexpected band — check for many 1s or 2s and reverse items at 5 acting as 1.
  • Facet bars look uneven — some facets have more items and higher maxima.
  • CSV opens garbled — select UTF‑8 when importing into a spreadsheet.
  • DOCX fails — try again after the summary renders fully.
  • Progress stuck — pick the first unanswered item in the list to advance.

Advanced Tips:

  • Repeat at the same time of day to minimize mood noise.
  • Scan highlights for a signature item you can apply immediately.
  • Use the average item score as a simple weekly trend.
  • Focus training on one facet for two weeks, then rotate.
  • Compare self versus social totals to balance your practice.
  • Treat outlier runs as experiments and look for repeatable shifts.

Outcomes summarize self report and should guide reflection, not replace support.
