Recognizing an emotion in the moment is different from describing oneself as emotionally perceptive. Performance tasks observe what a person can do under defined conditions; self-report measures record the habits, confidence, and tendencies that the person believes are typical. Both can be informative, but they do not make the same claim.

The Schutte Self-Report Emotional Intelligence Test (SSEIT), also called the Assessing Emotions Scale, uses 33 agreement statements drawn from an early model of emotional intelligence. The statements cover noticing emotion, using mood to support thought and persistence, regulating one's own emotions, and responding to other people's emotional signals.

The total can summarizeThe total cannot establish
How strongly the respondent endorses the original 33 statementsObjective emotional skill in a live situation
A repeatable self-description for reflection or researchA diagnosis, crisis status, or treatment need
Change in self-ratings when administration stays comparableA fair ranking for hiring, admission, eligibility, or fitness

Culture, language, mood, self-awareness, social expectations, and the setting imagined while answering can all affect a self-report total. Different studies have also proposed different factor structures for this measure. The original 33-item total is therefore a more defensible result than presenting one disputed set of subscales as settled.

Higher totals represent stronger endorsement of the keyed emotional-intelligence statements. They are not universal grades such as poor, average, or excellent, because this assessment declares no cutoff bands.

How to Use This Tool:

Complete the full 33-item response set for your usual pattern, then verify the reverse-keyed items before interpreting the total.

  1. Start the assessment and rate each statement from Strongly disagree to Strongly agree.
  2. Finish all 33 items. Use the progress controls to find any missing response if the result does not appear.
  3. Read the SSEIT total on the 33 to 165 scale. Do not add a cutoff label that the result does not provide.
  4. Check Items 5, 28, and 33 in the answer review if the total seems unexpected. These three statements are reverse-keyed, so stronger agreement contributes fewer points.

Interpreting Results:

A higher total means stronger self-reported endorsement of the emotional-intelligence construct represented by the original scale. It does not prove how accurately the respondent reads emotions, how effectively they behave under pressure, or how others experience their emotional skills.

There are no universal cutoff bands in this assessment. Compare repeat scores only when language, instructions, setting, and purpose remain similar, and review the item responses before assigning meaning to a small change in the total.

Technical Details:

SSEIT uses five agreement ratings. Thirty items are keyed directly from 1 to 5. Items 5, 28, and 33 are negatively phrased and reverse-keyed so that every contribution points toward stronger endorsement of the overall construct.

Formula and Transformation Core

The total sums all 33 keyed responses. Direct items keep the selected rating; reverse items use the complementary value on the five-point scale.

SSSEIT = ∑i=133 ki , ki = { rifor direct items 6−rifor items 5, 28, and 33

Here, r is the raw agreement rating and k is its keyed score. For example, Strongly agree is 5 points on a direct item but 1 point on Item 5, 28, or 33. All items must be answered; the valid integer total is 33 to 165 and requires no rounding.

ResponseDirect itemReverse item
Strongly disagree15
Disagree24
Neither disagree nor agree33
Agree42
Strongly agree51

The original total has no severity bands, thresholds, or settled subscore categories. Its score-position chart shows location on the 33 to 165 scale and does not create a category.

Limitations and Privacy:

Self-report can reflect insight and usual habits, but it can also reflect self-presentation, temporary mood, cultural expectations, or an idealized self-image. The SSEIT total should not be used for diagnosis, treatment selection, crisis assessment, or high-stakes individual decisions.
