Your EQ is147 50 or less: Thanks for answering honestly. Now get yourself a shrink, quick! 51-70: When it comes to understanding human emotions, you'd have better luck understanding Chinese. 71-90: You've got more emotional intelligence than the average frat boy. Barely. 91-110: You're average. It's easy to predict how you'll react to things. But anyone could have guessed that. 111-130: You usually have it going on emotionally, but roadblocks tend to land you on your butt. 131-150: You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin. 150+: Two possibilities - you've either out "Dr. Phil-ed" Dr. Phil... or you're a dirty liar.

It's pretty clear what the 'emotionally intelligent' answer would be. And I do believe in those answers.

I don't believe in losers, and it's more likely to be winners who aren't grateful for being winners who get under my skin!
And I can't believe I got three points of Dr Phil-ville!
I usually think I'm only going to get 60-80 in these things, or somewhere below a 100.
But I'm sure my emotional intelligence has pushed me up a few Weschler notches, especially in Comprehension.
I don't know that it matters whether you get it cognitively or from your gut. It matters that you GET it, and even if you don't get it, I won't disrespect you.
Did read an article this morning about how emotional intelligence is a real gift. Surprisingly, people who are intelligent intelligent don't always have it.
My Baron-Cohen EQ is 29. This is the empathy quotient. That was in April 2003. I also got 29 in the SQ at that time, which means I have a balanced brain.
