What is your emotional IQ (EQ)?

[GT Pro]

A test can be found here.

For some reason or another I got only 62 (bottom 1%), which is interesting given my validated mental IQ puts me in the top 1% (compensation much?)

It must be said that this test appears a little overly-subjective; it appears that the happier, more extroverted and more touchy-feely you are the higher you will rate (which is prone to mislead and inevitably raises queries as to whether or not, or to what degree, humans are meant to be happy, outgoing and to allow emotions to influence them).

I didn't bother with the EQ test... a few years ago I had my IQ tested at 152. I believe that was in the 99th percentile as well.

Facebook app? I thinks not. I already know I'm a narcissistic, passive aggressive, egotistical schizoid with serious issues on commitment and responsibility. But the joy of that little cocktail is the belief it's a good thing 👍

My EQ is 122, I've never been IQ tested but I've always been at the top so far in my educational career (currently doing a BA).

.....
If people had emotions, after doing those 106 questions, they would have lost any feeling.
A mind numbing experience.
I dread to think of the mind that compiled this assessment.

I invented the word "boast".

I got about 30% in to that, got to the part with the people and choosing what emotions they feel. I quit there, too long and I really don't think I like where it's going. I get penalized on it for not being touchy feely, and for not bawling my eyes out every time something bad happens. It seems really biased towards those people who get all hysterical all the time, freaking out and screaming when something good happens, and bawlimg when anything bad happens. The other thing is, why is being emotionally neutral to people you don't know a bad thing?

Emotions are mental backdoors/exploits/hax!

Say for instance I'm hungry, I make mention of one of the ingredients of a girls dinner being quite fattening, and bingo, I've just haxxorzed myself a free sandwich!

76%
With another test.
That test: 98

 

[Lain]

I scored 79.

The usefulness of that test is questionable though.

116 apparently.

I know how to use people's emotions to my advantage... Most of the time. And do. Because I'm an ass.
