Emotional intelligence and relationship tests
These assessments look at the emotional side of behaviour: how accurately you read feelings — your own and other people's — and the expectations you bring into close relationships.

What emotional intelligence tests measure
Emotional intelligence is usually described in four parts: noticing your own emotions, managing them, noticing other people's, and using that information to handle relationships well. Our assessment reports each of these separately, because people are rarely equally strong across all four.
It is a self-report measure of how you believe you handle emotion, which correlates with but is not identical to ability-based measures used in research settings.
What attachment style tests measure
Attachment theory describes the expectations you carry into close relationships — how comfortable you are depending on someone, and how much you worry about being let down. Adult attachment is normally described along two axes, anxiety and avoidance, which combine into the familiar secure, anxious, avoidant and fearful patterns.
Attachment style is not fixed. It shifts with experience, and particularly with relationships that consistently contradict old expectations.
Who these tests are for
People who keep hitting the same pattern in relationships, at work or at home, and want a clearer description of it. They are helpful preparation for a conversation with a partner or a therapist, and useful on their own if you simply want a structured look at how you handle emotion.
How results are calculated and interpreted
Both tests use a five-point agreement scale with reverse-keyed items. Scores are averaged per dimension and expressed as percentages. The emotional intelligence report gives you four separate dimension scores; the attachment report positions you on the anxiety and avoidance axes and names the resulting pattern.
Read a low score as a skill you have not practised, not a defect. Emotional skills are among the most trainable things these assessments measure.
Limitations
Neither test diagnoses anything. Self-report emotional intelligence measures are known to be influenced by general self-confidence, and attachment questionnaires reflect your current relationship context as much as your history. Treat both as a starting point for reflection, not as a settled fact about you.
Frequently asked questions
Can emotional intelligence be improved?
Yes. Unlike broad personality traits, the components of emotional intelligence respond well to deliberate practice — particularly naming emotions accurately and pausing before reacting.
Is an attachment style permanent?
No. Attachment patterns shift over time and differ between relationships. A result describes your current expectations, not a life sentence.
Are these tests used by employers?
Not these ones. They are educational self-assessments and are not validated or intended for recruitment or selection.
