EQ at Work Assessment

Emotional intelligence at work

How strong is your EQ when it counts?

A test built only on self-rating measures how you see yourself. The research is blunt about what that overlaps with: established personality traits, rated by the person with the strongest motive to be generous. This one is built differently. Three scenario sections with keyed or research-ranked answers test how you actually read emotions, steady yourself, and handle other people’s heat. One self-view section is scored separately and never as a skill. The report shows both streams, and the gap between them, which is the read no self-report test can give you.

Parts of this assessment have keyed answers, and it is still built for your development, not a grade. Answer with what you would actually do. The report gives you a clear picture of where you are and the two areas to work first.

Reading emotions

Scenario section, keyed answers. Sixteen situations. Name the emotion the circumstances point to.

Steadying yourself

Scenario section, ranked answers. Your own heat, dread, and deflation, and what you actually do with it.

Handling the moment

Scenario section, ranked answers. A teammate in tears, a heated meeting, hard news, an angry stakeholder.

How you see yourself

Self-view section, reported separately. Eighteen statements, so the report can show you the gap.

Your answers are used to generate your report and, in aggregated form, to improve the assessment over time. When you finish, your answers are sent to our server and stored under a random ID with no name and no email attached. That happens whether or not you enter an email or buy anything, and it is pseudonymous rather than anonymous. After 90 days that random ID is replaced, so your answers can no longer be linked back to any report. The answers themselves are deleted after 24 months. Your individual responses are never sold. If you buy a report built from your result, that result is held under a random token for 12 months and then deleted. You can ask us to delete it sooner at support@truestephr.com. The scenario sections are keyed to published appraisal and emotion regulation research. This is a development tool, not a hiring or selection instrument.

This assessment is general information for reflection and planning. It is not a validated selection test or legal advice. Confirm employment decisions against applicable law, company policy, and the facts of the situation.
