Emotional intelligence at work

How do you respond when emotions run high at work?

A difficult email. A tense meeting. A colleague who is upset. Work through 48 workplace scenarios about reading emotions, staying steady under pressure, and responding to others. Then rate yourself in the same areas.

Choose what you would most likely do in each situation. Your report compares those responses with your self-rating and identifies two skills to focus on.

Reading emotions

Read 16 workplace situations and identify what each person is most likely to feel.

Steadying yourself

In 16 situations, choose how you would handle pressure, frustration, and disappointment.

Handling the moment

Consider how you would respond to difficult conversations and emotional reactions across 16 situations.

How you see yourself

Rate how accurately 18 statements describe you. Your report compares these ratings with your scenario results.

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 or email attached. This happens whether or not you enter an email or buy anything. The data is pseudonymous, not anonymous.

After 90 days, the random ID is replaced, so your answers can no longer be linked to a report. Your answers are deleted after 24 months. Your individual responses are never sold.

If you purchase a report based on your result, that result is stored under a random token for 12 months and then deleted. You can request earlier deletion 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.

Explore how you approach workplace decisions and where you can strengthen your skills. This assessment has not been validated for employment selection. Its results are not for hiring, promotion, or other employment decisions.
