Emotional Intelligence Test

A quick self-assessment, not a clinical instrument. This is a 24-question self-check across the four EQ dimensions popularized by Daniel Goleman. It's a starting point for self-reflection, not a substitute for validated workplace or clinical measures like the MSCEIT or EQ-i 2.0 — those involve trained administrators and population-normed scoring. Takes about 5 minutes.
