There are online tests available that will determine a level of emotional intelligence based on your answers to various questions. The tests are usually multiple-choice; they ask what your reactions would be in hypothetical situations.
For instance, do you respond to an argument by confronting the other person, shutting down, or apologizing ? When you make an important decision, do you procrastinate , let someone else decide, or go with your gut? These are examples of the types of questions you'll find on EQ tests.
