Emotional intelligence is a fairly new term, surrounded by a bit of confusion and debate about its definition. The three main ones being Ability based model, Mixed EI model, and Trait.
I found a test that supposedly measures EI, while it does not specify exactly which model it bases its question on, but after looking around a bit, it mentions Daniel Golemen, who is known for the Mixed EI model. The test takes about 10 minutes, and is half Likert scale, and half multiple choice.
While you cant get 100% of the results without paying for them, I sored a 123 out of 155, which was in the 90th percentile. The advice it gave me was as follows.
"according to your self-report answers, your emotional intelligence is satisfactory. People who score like you do feel that their ability to understand and deal with their own emotions and those of others is acceptable but could still use some improvement. Emotionally intelligent people have an easy time overcoming difficulties in their lives and they are generally able to control their moods. It's easy for them to motivate themselves to overcome obstacles and reach their goals. In addition, they find social interactions to be quite easy and fulfilling, for several reasons. They are comfortable allowing themselves to get close with others, and feel comfortable being vulnerable enough to establish intimacy. They also report having an easy time offering support to others; likely due to an empathetic nature and a clear mind when it comes to offering good advice. Perhaps by working on your problem areas, you can become more confident in dealing with your own emotions and those of others."
I found it odd that even though I was in the 90th percentile, it said my EI was only satisfactory. While most of the test was self report, which we all know can be quite flawed, there was an ability section as well, though I would debate that the answer choices were too simple for complex topics, and are hard to score quantitatively.
Overall a very interesting topic, that I will definitely be looking more closely into.

Great post! I took the test and enjoyed seeing the results!
