Sabira Aldiyeva - cringy? Sorry mate but you don't need to adapt and be a socially capable person to succeed. Being and individual working on your own creative path will get a lot further in life than becoming like the rest of the socialising sheep with high EQ. Spend more time becoming a creative individual Freak than listening to this basic person.
X ho You said high EQ is holding people back. An high EQ can be pretty usefull in life. Being able to understand each other well can have many possitive things. You can work well with co-workers, which makes your work much easier. You can make others feel better by being able to acknowledge and talk about their problems. You can meet interesting people with their opinions and storys. And you can meet people who can help you get further in life. Im not a social person myself, but in my point of view a high EQ is pretty usefull
12/20... but honestly the test was really stupid... the emotions didnt look genuine at all, they all were clearly faking it and exaggerating the expressions, and didnt even look serious about it. Half the time they just looked amused at their own faces they pulled.
I wonder how would you even measure and record someone's EQ? Is there like a "humility" test you can take? Crap, just by asking that question I probably lost like 90 EQ points.
No worries about taking a humility test, just remember you always need to be learning. If one adopts critical thinking and the scientific method as the paramount way to evaluate EVERYTHING they come across, then one will remember they don't know everything and actively need to learn and analyze more. This way, you consistently ask for feedback from people you know on various issues, and analyze for the good bits that match existing data. Just remember to ask them to lay out their arguments in full and back up where their ideas come from, so you don't miss a detail in the full analysis. I know it's difficult to do, but we all need to do it; especially in the information age.
Dravin Grey laci green is not knowledgeable, she's just stupid. She's a third wave feminist who doesn't use any logic or sources the back up the things she says
Mr ZaGaZ I don't think you can honestly say LaciGreen isn't knowledgeable about some things, she may be petty and closeminded on certain topics but it's not fair to discredit her entirely, a lot of people don't agree with Sargon either, it doesn't mean he isn't intelligent and knowledgeable
"Anyone can improve upon it"... Really? Well, I just need to make sure that I have those five categories... 1. Self-Awareness, not really... 2. Self-Regulation... yeah.. nah. 3. Social Skills... Really? I mean, REALLY really? I am on UA-cam at 3 in the morning, commenting on a video... Does anyone think I have a life beyond this screen? If your answer is yes, then you are sadly mistaken. 4.Motivation... I sleep until 3 or 4 in the afternoon, and even when I do get up, I just stay in my bed on my laptop all day. I am about the least motivated person on the planet. 5. Empathy. I actually have Asperger's Syndrome, which for those who don't know, Aspeger's actually prevents me from feeling empathy... so... nope, I don't have that either... So, Laci... can I improve on my EQ, or am I doomed to be emotionally dumb for the rest of my life?
If you cant "feel" empathy, try observing and picking it up using objective cues then act/respond accordingly as society dictates as acceptable. I'm just pulling this outta my ass so it could be wrong etc but its worth the try. Kinda like learning and blending into a new culture :0
Pretty much, what I did was I just stopped feeling for a LONG time. I becaume closed and distant from everyone else. It worked for me, and no one bothered me.
I also have Asperger's Syndrome. It doesn't mean that you are an emotionless psychopath, it just means that you think differently then most. Like Laci said if work on it you can have a high Emotion Intelligence. Then world domination will be a breeze for us.
Asperger's doesn't prevent you from feeling empathy. It may make it harder in some situations, but can you really say you never understand how anyone is feeling at all? Just because, for example, you can't tell if someone is upset, doesn't mean you can't understand smiles and laughter or horrific sobbing. All of these categories can be improved upon. Asperger's can make it harder, but it's not impossible. You just seem to not want to. I was the same way for quite a while, with the same excuse. You're selling yourself short, man.
19/20. The hard part was keeping myself from overthinking, because I knew they were just modeling for a quiz. My biggest EQ weakness is motivation. I'm the kind of guy who gets knocked down, and then says, "Fuck it." (I'm working on changing that about myself, though.)
that test sucked! The actors were terrible at portraying emotions. For a lot of those I have never seen someone make those expressions when feeling that emotion. And no I'm not just miffed about my result, I got a 16/20, because I learned what they were expecting. Who the hell makes a "I'm holding my breath while scrunching my face together," face when in pain?! Most people open their mouths or clench their teeth. And who puts a finger to their eye when their embarrassed? Most put a hand to their face to hide their embarrassment, not a "fake tear" gesture with their finger.
Your Score: 16/20 Nice work. You seem naturally well-attuned to others' emotions--a vital skill for forming compassionate connections. You scored above average but still have room for growth
To all of those people who are saying like 'those actors suck' or 'test isn't accurate': maybe if you'd give up your narcissism you would get a better score.
This actually made my day better, I failed one of my finals because I've been having a hard time understanding the concepts and I questioned my intelligence but after watching this video and I am about to take the quiz now, I believe my EQ is rather high. I truly care about people and their feelings and try to help them. Always have, always will.
For any kind of relationship there's a sort of formula to this: 1. (Duration): The time you spend with the person. 2. (Closeness): The more you are physically close to a person affects the psychologic closeness after an amount of time. This can also just be the same room like for example the kitchen or the bus you're sitting in. 3. (Frequency) Obviously that's the frequency of the meetings which even don't have to be planned together with the other person. It can also just be the amount of seeing each other and realizing that she/he's there. 4. (Intensity) That's how good you are in satisfying the needs of the other person with verbal and nonverbal behaviors.
One of the problems is that almost of all these traits are viewed negatively in the US. They are down played at best when not being actively vilified in the media. They are seen as 'weak' traits. Sadly also seen as 'feminine' traits which are almost always viewed negatively in the US as well.
So traits ARE inherently weak. Evolution destroys those with weak traits. Those with weak traits, i.e. those who break down to cry whenever faced with a tough situation, cannot function properly in society and cannot contribute strong leadership to it, so they should be abused until they work off these bad traits.
zsupersaiyan Evolution only destroys traits that result in death before one can breed. Society however has evolved to protect it's weakest members. A society that allows it's own population to thin is doomed to failure. Not everyone is meant to be a leader. Case and point being that most people living protected assembly line jobs is the basis for industrialized society. Simple jobs where personality is moot and the challenges people are required to face are minimal. Evolution cannot breed out these traits because they have no effect on anything.
***** Societies don't actually protect their weakest members. They protect members with no resources- yes- they protect members when they are pregnant, and they protect members from fighting each other by having rules... however it is against their interest to have members that are inherently weak. That's why ants banish members of their colonies that catch a disease. That's why wolves bully their omega wolf. That's why most animal mothers kill any offspring they sense is weak. That's why bullying even happens, when someone is too weak to contribute to the tribe positively, that member just gets killed. And yes, not everyone is suited for leadership. That's an alpha position. You can be an epsilon and do bland work if you want. But I'm sure you'd rather raise your child to be alpha and teach him to keep a cool face when a situation gets hard to inspire all around him, like a true alpha-leader should.
I took an EQ/EI classes in high school. I had just gone through a pretty deep depression at the time and my anxiety disorder was at it's very worst and the class alone made me feel understood and validated.
I got 12/20 but surely facial expressions, as well as other behaviours, are largely unique to the individual and the more you know someone, the better you will understand them?
I know all da feels lol "Your Score: 20/20 Congratulations--a perfect score! You've got a truly exceptional ability to read other people and understand what they're feeling. It's a great skill to have in a friend (and a poker player). If you want to deepen your ability to form compassionate connections with others, keep an eye out for our forthcoming empathy training tool, designed to boost your emotional intelligence even higher."
1. Self Awareness- Everyone has bad days from time to time, that's life. A lot of people are to self-absorbed to notice the emotions of others anyway. 2. Self Regulation- Just work on it people, we can only control our-self. 3. Social Skills- Some people are more of an introvert and some people are more of an extrovert. There is nothing wrong with that. 4. Motivation - What you want determines what you need to do, if don't want anything you don't need to do anything. I think people usually do what they do based on what they want anyway. 5. Empathy - It's hard to empathize with someone you can't relate to and you won't be able to relate to everyone since everyone is different one way or another. Different people have different up upbringings, thoughts, prescriptions, priorities, opinions and experiences. Nobody is stupid. People just have different straights and weaknesses.
14/20 due to over thinking which is a constant problem to me. I think too much about how to react, whats going on, the outcome of said reaction, etc that I usually end up acting incorrectly or not at all. Add in being aloof and I end up getting in a lot of trouble with people mainly blood family. I'm simply not an emotionally expressive woman and that probably won't change. Still the test is too basic to get any worthwhile information that most probably already know.
Same here. I'm always nervous talking to people (even to my family) and overly cautious to how people will react to what I say or to the expression I give so people always misunderstand me. In middleschool I would concentrate so hard on how people would view me that one person came up to me and asked why I always looked mad and hearing that kinda shocked me since I was never mad in the first place.
11/20 ...most of them were faking the emotion, a couple were over exaggerated to the point that it was obvious what answer they wanted.... I guess I got to get better at what emotion someone is trying to show when they are pretending....
17/20 That second embarrassment one really threw me off. I've never seen embarrassment expressed that way. Also, the expressions should be A LOT more subtle than they were. Most of them were exaggerated, some to the point where you'd probably never encounter them in real life.
EQ is everquest obviously tbh test is kind of pathetic, to be accurate we should have to choose among all choices not just 4, and the faces shouldnt' be so damned exaggerated.
14/20 Here's the problem I have though: Took ages to do this, not because I'm bad at it, but because I necessarily don't think that people communicate like that, and even if they do - it will take you like 5 minutes to understand what they're saying/feeling to understand something that occurs in less than 5 seconds or such, just no time for that.. The way I managed to have such a "relatively" high score is like staring at the picture and mirroring/mimicking the expression and trying to imagine in what situation I'd do that The other problem I have is the following: There are a lot of those that are "situational" based - like - how can Interest be an emotion ?? - it's usually a state of mind.. Pride - also - it's a State-of-mind, you can't just be proud for no reason, there just has to be one.. Though it's wise to be proud for no reason, cause then no-one can take it from you away - still - can't be just proud for no reason, lol.. :P The even funnier thing is the following: Last time I tested my EIQ was 28/100 - it's like - veeeeeeery low.. IDK, but think that there's much more to EQ than it is to facial-expression reading or things like that, the drastic result difference probably shows Still - glad that I'm not a disaster at this though :)
I got 18/20 first try. I've found that for some reason I'm gifted with being able to read people's emotions fairly well. (Much) More often than not, I can also usually tell when someone is lying. That being said, I have to agree with your "situational" conclusion. There was one, that I believe was "anger", but If I saw someone making that face, my assumption would be "strong focus while struggling with large stress". There's obviously no option for that, so I got it wrong.
I took the test and got 17 out of 20 it's surprisingly hard and that's equally surprising because you make most of them each day and don't even realize!!!
That EQ thing is a bit off. Some of the traits like empathy and self awareness are traits introverts have while great social skills and being very motivated are extrovert traits. You can't be both. Also great leaders and successful people tend to be a bit sociopathic in nature, caring more about themselves and less about those around them. Meanwhile I find the host strangely attractive.
I don't understand why introverts/extroverts have entered the equation - why are they relevant to the emotional intelligence of a person? And exactly how many people are entirely an introvert or extrovert? Also, I'd be cautious about generalizations if I were you they tend to lead me down rocky roads.
introverts vs extroverts. bringing in personality types? yeah, I guess that is a related topic. but you should probably be aware that personality traits are not ultimatums. you most certainly can be both and most people fall somewhere between the spectrum. I think you will find that even you have behaviors that fall both introverted and extroverted. the other things about personality traits is that they are preferences and can be learned. someone who prefers to be introverted but masters the ability to be extroverted in situations as needed, genius.
16/20 But my problem doesn't generally center around reading emotional ques.Mine generally is a matter of impulse control.If things start getting very stressful for me then what little filter I have just is gone.All this anger comes out all at once (never gets to trading blows though), I'm sorry about it afterwards but by then the damage is done.Work on it constantly but can't seem to be able to shake it.
This was a very big topic at my previous employment. Mr. Diekemper and my father together teach a communications class breaking down what communication is, and why it fails. We covered a subject known as the Ladder of Inference, and teach people to have conversations in the moment, that are essentially "hey, we're at an impasse, let's discuss why that is, and try to resolve it." It's also really cool because it's open to the employee's friends and family too.
I got 15/20. I already I was better than average, but couldn't be sure. Even if the website said I was horrible, I know that I'm pretty good at knowing what someone is feeling.
I totally agree with you the most intelligent girls in my class have NO empathy and who laugh at others suffering , make fun of people crying and people with disabilities , like me .
What I don't understand, is I know someone who sleeps with married men. They don't care about the man's wife at home. Although they say they are empathetic, how can they be?
well.....they can be lying....one of those evil "geniuses" that she speaks of....even though any evil person is kind of an idiot for only being able to figure out how to get away with bad things instead of being able to play it out in their head before hand and consider how to prevent bad things in the first place
Test wasn't long enough, it only measured part of emotional intelligence and the emotions are fake. Some of the facial expressions shown i have never seen in my life and I wouldn't have guessed some of the emotions if not for the multiple choice so I got 18/20.
Yes I agree. Beyond that one has to remember that emotions are also conveyed through tone of voice, choice of words, movement and composure, etc, while this test only tested your ability to read faces. This test is insufficient imo.
I scored a 20%! I'm actually quite proud of myself, I expected much worse... I had to guess on over half the questions, and some of my guesses were correct! I really am quite pleased!
I don't think that quiz is a very accurate way of determining EQ. The only category was guessing facial expressions. I can totally see that being PART of an EQ quiz. But not all of it!
The test assumes that those features are what reflect how you feel independent of the rest of the face, which is why the actors looked like they were only told to pull those expressions (tongue looks more crazy than desiring... and that asian bloke looks like he's getting kicked up the ass when he's supposed to be * instantly * angry)... It would be interesting to see how effective it is if you had them watch film clips that would elicit those feelings, take pictures of their naturally feeling faces and then see if the test scores for the EQ test are proportionally the same for the real pictures.
There really should been a qn in there that asked you is this expression 1) Self Pity 2) Humility 3) Lack of confidence OR 4) Low self esteem Or self despair/insecure 5) Apathy Or another question which asks you 1) Zealous 2) Arrogance 3) Headstrong 4) Determined 5) Over-zealous or (this one is for shits and giggles).....5) *Humble zealotry*???? OK we're starting to get technical here....LOL 1) Indifference 2) Aloofness 3) Snobbishness 4) Aristocratic 5) Sophisticated Come on man I'm not boasting here but those expressions in the test were a little too easy to make out.
Got 'em all... OK, I'm lying but I got most (18). I'd also like to add that context matters a lot for some of these things; there's such a thing as "resting bitch face" & some people that like to pretend they're happy, then end up killing themselves the next day. The most determining factor of your emotional quotient is how you relate to people & being genuinely concerned or interested in them. From this practice, you'll be called a "great conversationalist", even when you don't really say anything, because allowing people to be themselves, & openly emotional, is like two intellects having a brilliant conversation. P.S. I hope League of Legends - or other competitive online games - don't count, because I can become a total douche in those (I'm aware of it, so I am actively relaxed now). It's hard to remember that some people playing are just young kids, not good at that game, etc. & my first instinct is to think they're stupid. To all the people I treated this way in games; I'm sorry, I love you. Please don't uninstall the game like I suggested >.
i came here expecting to receive the news that i'm the lamest person ever, but it turned out that i'm fine! And then she said social skills is the ability to communicate effectively, what you want and what you need, the bad thing is that i have tried everything possible to deliver my thoughts, and although people understood them they insisted to do the opposite thing and intentionally they keep judging, and they tended to retain their doubts and suspicions unjustly! And then she said empathy is considered the most important thing in the career success, and that people want to understand others and how they feel about things, this helps the person to provide excellent service or to understand what people around them need to do and be their best! And yet another bad thing here, which is i have observed that when people get provided with a good service or care they usually get spoiled and attempt to take advantage of it in a malicious and selfish way and seek what are not their rights!
13/20 but the quiz is clearly bunk because their faces aren't genuine; you can tell they are faked by actors. Though fortunately it does seem to act as a similar experiment. Those who immediately notice the emotions are unauthentic are better at recognizing true emotions whereas those who score well and do not realise the emotions are fake are better recognizing acted emotions. This would have very broad results but could be reformed into another test displaying both real and faked emotions and asking you to choose which are genuine.
I know she is reading off of note cards written by someone else or a team, but many disagree with this. The idea of EQ or EI is fairly new and i wish discovery wouldn't falsely educate masses of people. Personality types have a lot to do with self awareness and empathy and motivation, and many of these things don't all come as a bundle. So it's not very fair to people as a whole to label someone as emotionally smart, it just simply doesn't exist, and is vanity to think of yourself as emotionally more educated than someone else. And why
I consider myself as a very emotional intelligent person, especially around my friends. I have seen some behaviors that shows some weakness in their emotions and this just confirm how strong emotionally I am and how wonderful it is. In my point of view, it´s not possible to construct and follow a great carreer for yourself without working on your EQ; In my case, for instance I always try to improve on my weak points and try too undertand what should I do to improve them? Talking alone, focusing on your own misundertandings, and even asking for people, can helps you a lot into became an emotional intelligent person.
20/20 for those over exaggerated actors. I use to study psychology when I was 12-15. Well, nearing 18 now and I believe it's quite easy to read people.
18/20 ...>.>. Not surprising. I was raised by psychopathic/sociopathic parents that spoke nothing, but non sense. Had to learn how to read people based on body language alone. OR, that test was just really simple for a noobie poker player. lol
I can tell I have a good EQ ..but I lose track of my self awareness and how much it shows to other people because I have depression and it makes relationships nerve wracking and difficult on my side. Does anyone else feel like this? And have you conquered it?
pythonmajestic I have found out that depression has a lot to do with expectations i.e. the way things should be, including myself. And you can get there by analysing the Description you make of things. Saying NO to these description, eventually gets you to a point of nothingness and connection with inner self. I practice meditation regularly. It helps a lot. Good luck. You are not alone. Respectfully.
i have been in very deep depression under lets say from 8-23 i took medication under maby 10 years and i thougth it was gone several time and stop take the medication but it took from 1 month to 6 month and it was back... i been free from medication and i think i found a way out of the depressions hand on me. by doing this simple steps!. 1. i found a small amount of group that having other problem like i did (not depression) and they had a plan how to conquer there thing. 2. ask your self: what am i feeling sad/bad for? if you find the answer go to next part. now you understand why you are depressed. ask your self is it worth it to hold on too this sad/bad thing ? isent it time to let that be in the past and see what else i will find happening in the world? if you finding step 2 hard too do by your self? why not telling a friend/familymember/cousin or who ever to have them to ask this questions and you do the answer? 3. when you are finding the answers you have to go over to action and say to your self: yes i have been scared for life BUT now it is time for me to move along (but you will always remember it) and see what is coming next (be curius it will be very important to succed other wise you will ceep walking around in the depressing thougths) for me i see this like a sort of meditation and if you feel this isent helping you there is professional about meditation (i am not i just did this steps and i came clean) you can always feel free to contact me about this steps or if you feel you need a helping hand or something was a little bit blurr. you have my faith in you to succed, and wishes you good luck, and a happy life :)
16 out of 20. when the last one came up with love, its kinda weird how i got it. i kinda felt that energy from the expression and my instinct was telling me love but my brain was saying otherwise
Emotional Intelligence is one of those things that simply takes learning from social interactions and experience. More experience with people means more EQ.
I have all of them, although I do have trouble with empathy I will admit. Not sure why... I do feel sorry for people, but I have a hard time showing that I care. And you know... sometimes I actually just don't care. I am very self aware and have good self regulation. So the reason why I don't have as much empathy is because I want these other people to be self aware and be in charge of their own emotions like I am. I rarely bother people with my problems because a lot of the time I feel like they think the same way I do and want me to just get over it. For the record I usually do get over things... It's rare I don't.
Empathy is great for solving problems. For example, in toys r us a parent walks in and starts yapping about a toy she can't find. Instead of getting stressed out as the parent is try figuring out to alleviate her world by calming your alert systems and solving the problem knowing that she is a human just like you with many issues. At the end the parents themselves will thank you.
NutritiouslyHigh Do research on how different societies see beauty and societies throughout time before attempting to talk about shit you don't know....because more than not....you will encounter someone who studies human behavior for a living or has a simple critical thinking process. Take your ass out of your ass.
NutritiouslyHigh-_- individual preferences is guided by culture. Nice to see you becoming a beligerent monster because I was to you ;) A+ for raising above right? slave to your emotions. Don't be controlled by the stimuli you experience. it was to say that your head was an ass...that there was nothing there... :/ you'll grab for anthing to get revenge on my namecalling wontcha?
those haven't anything to do with empathy or emotional intelligence, they're just based on microexpresions, although they help you know what a person feels, it doesn't mean you understand them. and that,to understand is the real empathy.
I'm okay emotionally, I some times wrongly assume someones mad at me, bu5t that's because I was abused by an emotional nut. Also, I don't like to say sorry much, because I was forced to say sorry for things other people did or for just defending myself, so I say "You know how I feel about you", "I love you more than anything", "It won't happen again" or something to that effect. Other than those two hiccups I think I'm okay emotionally, I saved a few lives, loved people, have always wanted to live and die for something.
I know, right? same here. I managed a 13/20, though that's mostly because I've been practicing for years on having functioning social skills. Plus, I feel like the exaggerated facial expressions threw me off.
The faces shown are of what I think are people that would be really animated, expressing their emotions toward others without fear of embarrassment. Another words their expressions appear to be more amplified than what you'd observe in reality.
EQ...Basically knowing how to get what you want out of others. Of course being smart is important, but if you don't know how to motivate and/or convey your message, you're probably not reaching your true potential. It's knowing how to hustle the world.
I got 7/20. This doesn't surprise me. I usually have to verbally engage someone to find out what they are feeling. Usually asking a question like "What are you thinking" or "Are you okay". I also had a really hard time expressing my emotions as a child/young adult, though I am fine at expressing them now. Maybe that is true of everyone before the brain is fully developed.
+pete30simon Those actors in the photos seemed to be too aware of the fact that they were acting. It would have been much better if they actually managed to make themselves feel those emotions for real, so that they ACTUALLY felt happy/angry/surprised etc.
I believe that everything in life has to have a middle ground... whether professional or personal, but of course people always have a more active side. In my case, I consider myself an emotionally intelligent person because I have more characteristics on the emotional side (EQ), such as motivation, empathy, self-regulation, among others... than on the rational side (IQ). I tend to use emotion much more than reason in my life in general, which helps me a lot most of the time but on certain occasions ends up getting in my way, so I think we should have a balance because in any area of life we are in constant use and learning of intelligence, whether emotional or rational.
I missed the first question, then I realized 'Oh, their acting/emoting these emotions/facial expressions.' Feeling what someone's emotions are go beyond reading facial expressions.
I got 20/20, but... I'm a therapist. It's sort of my job to be good at this. BTW, the blond guy in that test is forcing the faces, his emotions don't feel genuine at all; even if it's clear what facial expression he's trying to make.
That test is ridiculous. The faces they make in it are completely inaccurate to what someone might actually use to express emotions. For example one has someone with a finger under their eye to express shame. What kind of face is that? Nobody does that! Yeah. I missed most of the questions with him in it. Most of the other questions I got correct.
Theodoяe Kяap not exactly. Sociopaths tend to have good emotional intelligence, but what makes a person a sociopath is not their ability to manipulate others, is their lack of remorse, or conscience.
17/20... hate these EQ tests, they do these weirdly exaggerated faces. I find that the ones with a more subtle, nuanced face and responding by selecting a course of action to take in a certain situation instead of just identifying an emotion are more accurate, ofc that could be because I score higher on that.
Yay I scored : 15/20 Not bad. Your score means you're better than the average at reading expressions. And research suggests that people can improve their emotion recognition skills with practice. So keep an eye out for our forthcoming empathy training tool, designed to boost your emotional intelligence. Sign up for our e-newsletter for updates on it.
I kept telling people EQ is more important than IQ during my SATs but they just laughed at me, then I started screaming and pooped my pants.
why are you everywhere? -_-
I KEEP SEEING YOU BINKIE.
I agree 100%
Im soooo EQ that one time I stepped on some fat bitches toe and said "sorry"
All I need is social skills and empathy and I'm good to go
Nayram - they're lying to you.. high EQ will only hold you back.
X ho Thats pretty edgy and cringy,...
Sabira Aldiyeva - cringy? Sorry mate but you don't need to adapt and be a socially capable person to succeed. Being and individual working on your own creative path will get a lot further in life than becoming like the rest of the socialising sheep with high EQ. Spend more time becoming a creative individual Freak than listening to this basic person.
X ho You said high EQ is holding people back. An high EQ can be pretty usefull in life. Being able to understand each other well can have many possitive things. You can work well with co-workers, which makes your work much easier. You can make others feel better by being able to acknowledge and talk about their problems. You can meet interesting people with their opinions and storys. And you can meet people who can help you get further in life. Im not a social person myself, but in my point of view a high EQ is pretty usefull
12/20... but honestly the test was really stupid... the emotions didnt look genuine at all, they all were clearly faking it and exaggerating the expressions, and didnt even look serious about it. Half the time they just looked amused at their own faces they pulled.
I wonder how would you even measure and record someone's EQ? Is there like a "humility" test you can take?
Crap, just by asking that question I probably lost like 90 EQ points.
***** Hahahaa!! Horse of a different color...
to be honest i dont think you can even really measure iq... the human mind is very complex and difficult to measure in any kind of way
No worries about taking a humility test, just remember you always need to be learning. If one adopts critical thinking and the scientific method as the paramount way to evaluate EVERYTHING they come across, then one will remember they don't know everything and actively need to learn and analyze more. This way, you consistently ask for feedback from people you know on various issues, and analyze for the good bits that match existing data. Just remember to ask them to lay out their arguments in full and back up where their ideas come from, so you don't miss a detail in the full analysis. I know it's difficult to do, but we all need to do it; especially in the information age.
Thank god Laci is not on dnews anymore
Barry Michel she is so ugly... and her voice ewwww
rude af lol
I strongly disagree. I truly enjoy her and her knowledge.
We all have a right to feel how we wish about things though. :)
Dravin Grey laci green is not knowledgeable, she's just stupid. She's a third wave feminist who doesn't use any logic or sources the back up the things she says
Mr ZaGaZ I don't think you can honestly say LaciGreen isn't knowledgeable about some things, she may be petty and closeminded on certain topics but it's not fair to discredit her entirely, a lot of people don't agree with Sargon either, it doesn't mean he isn't intelligent and knowledgeable
"Anyone can improve upon it"... Really? Well, I just need to make sure that I have those five categories...
1. Self-Awareness, not really...
2. Self-Regulation... yeah.. nah.
3. Social Skills... Really? I mean, REALLY really? I am on UA-cam at 3 in the morning, commenting on a video... Does anyone think I have a life beyond this screen? If your answer is yes, then you are sadly mistaken.
4.Motivation... I sleep until 3 or 4 in the afternoon, and even when I do get up, I just stay in my bed on my laptop all day. I am about the least motivated person on the planet.
5. Empathy. I actually have Asperger's Syndrome, which for those who don't know, Aspeger's actually prevents me from feeling empathy... so... nope, I don't have that either... So, Laci... can I improve on my EQ, or am I doomed to be emotionally dumb for the rest of my life?
If you cant "feel" empathy, try observing and picking it up using objective cues then act/respond accordingly as society dictates as acceptable. I'm just pulling this outta my ass so it could be wrong etc but its worth the try. Kinda like learning and blending into a new culture :0
Pretty much, what I did was I just stopped feeling for a LONG time. I becaume closed and distant from everyone else. It worked for me, and no one bothered me.
I said for a long time.. Not so much any more. But there are still things I can't feel. Sadness and anger are two that I find really hard to express.
I also have Asperger's Syndrome. It doesn't mean that you are an emotionless psychopath, it just means that you think differently then most. Like Laci said if work on it you can have a high Emotion Intelligence.
Then world domination will be a breeze for us.
Asperger's doesn't prevent you from feeling empathy. It may make it harder in some situations, but can you really say you never understand how anyone is feeling at all? Just because, for example, you can't tell if someone is upset, doesn't mean you can't understand smiles and laughter or horrific sobbing.
All of these categories can be improved upon. Asperger's can make it harder, but it's not impossible. You just seem to not want to. I was the same way for quite a while, with the same excuse. You're selling yourself short, man.
"You get knocked down...then you get up again...because they're never going to keep you down"
I see what you did there Laci. 90's flashback. FTW.
19/20. The hard part was keeping myself from overthinking, because I knew they were just modeling for a quiz.
My biggest EQ weakness is motivation. I'm the kind of guy who gets knocked down, and then says, "Fuck it." (I'm working on changing that about myself, though.)
that test sucked! The actors were terrible at portraying emotions. For a lot of those I have never seen someone make those expressions when feeling that emotion. And no I'm not just miffed about my result, I got a 16/20, because I learned what they were expecting. Who the hell makes a "I'm holding my breath while scrunching my face together," face when in pain?! Most people open their mouths or clench their teeth. And who puts a finger to their eye when their embarrassed? Most put a hand to their face to hide their embarrassment, not a "fake tear" gesture with their finger.
Yeah the test is pretty inaccurate and made up
Your Score: 16/20
Nice work. You seem naturally well-attuned to others' emotions--a vital skill for forming compassionate connections. You scored above average but still have room for growth
To all of those people who are saying like 'those actors suck' or 'test isn't accurate': maybe if you'd give up your narcissism you would get a better score.
This actually made my day better, I failed one of my finals because I've been having a hard time understanding the concepts and I questioned my intelligence but after watching this video and I am about to take the quiz now, I believe my EQ is rather high. I truly care about people and their feelings and try to help them. Always have, always will.
I scored 12, but the people in those pics were obliviously acting so I wouldn't take that quiz too seriously.
For any kind of relationship there's a sort of formula to this:
1. (Duration): The time you spend with the person.
2. (Closeness): The more you are physically close to a person affects the psychologic closeness after an amount of time. This can also just be the same room like for example the kitchen or the bus you're sitting in.
3. (Frequency) Obviously that's the frequency of the meetings which even don't have to be planned together with the other person. It can also just be the amount of seeing each other and realizing that she/he's there.
4. (Intensity) That's how good you are in satisfying the needs of the other person with verbal and nonverbal behaviors.
One of the problems is that almost of all these traits are viewed negatively in the US. They are down played at best when not being actively vilified in the media. They are seen as 'weak' traits. Sadly also seen as 'feminine' traits which are almost always viewed negatively in the US as well.
So traits ARE inherently weak. Evolution destroys those with weak traits. Those with weak traits, i.e. those who break down to cry whenever faced with a tough situation, cannot function properly in society and cannot contribute strong leadership to it, so they should be abused until they work off these bad traits.
zsupersaiyan 1/10.
zsupersaiyan Evolution only destroys traits that result in death before one can breed. Society however has evolved to protect it's weakest members. A society that allows it's own population to thin is doomed to failure.
Not everyone is meant to be a leader. Case and point being that most people living protected assembly line jobs is the basis for industrialized society. Simple jobs where personality is moot and the challenges people are required to face are minimal.
Evolution cannot breed out these traits because they have no effect on anything.
*****
Societies don't actually protect their weakest members. They protect members with no resources- yes- they protect members when they are pregnant, and they protect members from fighting each other by having rules... however it is against their interest to have members that are inherently weak. That's why ants banish members of their colonies that catch a disease. That's why wolves bully their omega wolf. That's why most animal mothers kill any offspring they sense is weak. That's why bullying even happens, when someone is too weak to contribute to the tribe positively, that member just gets killed. And yes, not everyone is suited for leadership. That's an alpha position. You can be an epsilon and do bland work if you want. But I'm sure you'd rather raise your child to be alpha and teach him to keep a cool face when a situation gets hard to inspire all around him, like a true alpha-leader should.

I took an EQ/EI classes in high school. I had just gone through a pretty deep depression at the time and my anxiety disorder was at it's very worst and the class alone made me feel understood and validated.
In the quiz provided, I felt as if the actors were not genuinely feeling the emotion which made their expressions seem fake.
I got 12/20 but surely facial expressions, as well as other behaviours, are largely unique to the individual and the more you know someone, the better you will understand them?
19/20
...what's the difference between shame and embarrassment?
I know all da feels lol
"Your Score: 20/20
Congratulations--a perfect score! You've got a truly exceptional ability to read other people and understand what they're feeling. It's a great skill to have in a friend (and a poker player). If you want to deepen your ability to form compassionate connections with others, keep an eye out for our forthcoming empathy training tool, designed to boost your emotional intelligence even higher."
13/20 As a person who finds himself a very socially awkward person, not too bad
1. Self Awareness- Everyone has bad days from time to time, that's life. A lot of people are to self-absorbed to notice the emotions of others anyway.
2. Self Regulation- Just work on it people, we can only control our-self.
3. Social Skills- Some people are more of an introvert and some people are more of an extrovert. There is nothing wrong with that.
4. Motivation - What you want determines what you need to do, if don't want anything you don't need to do anything. I think people usually do what they do based on what they want anyway.
5. Empathy - It's hard to empathize with someone you can't relate to and you won't be able to relate to everyone since everyone is different one way or another. Different people have different up upbringings, thoughts, prescriptions, priorities, opinions and experiences.
Nobody is stupid. People just have different straights and weaknesses.
14/20 due to over thinking which is a constant problem to me. I think too much about how to react, whats going on, the outcome of said reaction, etc that I usually end up acting incorrectly or not at all. Add in being aloof and I end up getting in a lot of trouble with people mainly blood family. I'm simply not an emotionally expressive woman and that probably won't change.
Still the test is too basic to get any worthwhile information that most probably already know.
Same here. I'm always nervous talking to people (even to my family) and overly cautious to how people will react to what I say or to the expression I give so people always misunderstand me. In middleschool I would concentrate so hard on how people would view me that one person came up to me and asked why I always looked mad and hearing that kinda shocked me since I was never mad in the first place.
I need to make sure that my comment is regulated, stable and motivating, for me to sound emotionally intelligent!! :)
11/20 ...most of them were faking the emotion, a couple were over exaggerated to the point that it was obvious what answer they wanted.... I guess I got to get better at what emotion someone is trying to show when they are pretending....
17/20
That second embarrassment one really threw me off. I've never seen embarrassment expressed that way.
Also, the expressions should be A LOT more subtle than they were. Most of them were exaggerated, some to the point where you'd probably never encounter them in real life.
EQ is everquest obviously
tbh test is kind of pathetic, to be accurate we should have to choose among all choices not just 4, and the faces shouldnt' be so damned exaggerated.
14/20
Here's the problem I have though:
Took ages to do this, not because I'm bad at it, but because I necessarily don't think that people communicate like that, and even if they do - it will take you like 5 minutes to understand what they're saying/feeling to understand something that occurs in less than 5 seconds or such, just no time for that..
The way I managed to have such a "relatively" high score is like staring at the picture and mirroring/mimicking the expression and trying to imagine in what situation I'd do that
The other problem I have is the following: There are a lot of those that are "situational" based - like - how can Interest be an emotion ?? - it's usually a state of mind.. Pride - also - it's a State-of-mind, you can't just be proud for no reason, there just has to be one.. Though it's wise to be proud for no reason, cause then no-one can take it from you away - still - can't be just proud for no reason, lol.. :P
The even funnier thing is the following: Last time I tested my EIQ was 28/100 - it's like - veeeeeeery low..
IDK, but think that there's much more to EQ than it is to facial-expression reading or things like that, the drastic result difference probably shows
Still - glad that I'm not a disaster at this though :)
I got 18/20 first try. I've found that for some reason I'm gifted with being able to read people's emotions fairly well. (Much) More often than not, I can also usually tell when someone is lying. That being said, I have to agree with your "situational" conclusion. There was one, that I believe was "anger", but If I saw someone making that face, my assumption would be "strong focus while struggling with large stress". There's obviously no option for that, so I got it wrong.
1:42 Is that an intentional reference to Tubthimbing by Chumbawumba?
I was wondering the same thing! xD
I have the emotional intelligence to be pretty sure that the answer's yes
Most likely
Out of everything to see in a biblical boy's health class, I did not expect Laci Green
Luoa?
I got 16/20, some were very ambiguous and could perfectly be more than one option.
I took the test and got 17 out of 20 it's surprisingly hard and that's equally surprising because you make most of them each day and don't even realize!!!
That EQ thing is a bit off. Some of the traits like empathy and self awareness are traits introverts have while great social skills and being very motivated are extrovert traits. You can't be both. Also great leaders and successful people tend to be a bit sociopathic in nature, caring more about themselves and less about those around them. Meanwhile I find the host strangely attractive.
IDK why that's strange I do too.
I don't understand why introverts/extroverts have entered the equation - why are they relevant to the emotional intelligence of a person? And exactly how many people are entirely an introvert or extrovert? Also, I'd be cautious about generalizations if I were you they tend to lead me down rocky roads.
introverts vs extroverts. bringing in personality types? yeah, I guess that is a related topic. but you should probably be aware that personality traits are not ultimatums. you most certainly can be both and most people fall somewhere between the spectrum. I think you will find that even you have behaviors that fall both introverted and extroverted. the other things about personality traits is that they are preferences and can be learned. someone who prefers to be introverted but masters the ability to be extroverted in situations as needed, genius.
16/20 But my problem doesn't generally center around reading emotional ques.Mine generally is a matter of impulse control.If things start getting very stressful for me then what little filter I have just is gone.All this anger comes out all at once (never gets to trading blows though), I'm sorry about it afterwards but by then the damage is done.Work on it constantly but can't seem to be able to shake it.
that test cant be real i got 18/20 but im bad with people and usually say the wrong thing i've been looking for a job for over a year now wtf?
This was a very big topic at my previous employment. Mr. Diekemper and my father together teach a communications class breaking down what communication is, and why it fails. We covered a subject known as the Ladder of Inference, and teach people to have conversations in the moment, that are essentially "hey, we're at an impasse, let's discuss why that is, and try to resolve it." It's also really cool because it's open to the employee's friends and family too.
I have like no personality. I act depending on who I'm with
I got 15/20. I already I was better than average, but couldn't be sure. Even if the website said I was horrible, I know that I'm pretty good at knowing what someone is feeling.
Lets be honest, most of the people who are successful in business have no empathy.
You are right.
A lot of them tend to be sociopaths.
I totally agree with you the most intelligent girls in my class have NO empathy and who laugh at others suffering , make fun of people crying and people with disabilities , like me .
13/20, some of those could have easily been two out of the four.
Same score here and I agree
16/20, and a couple of those were ones that I knew better, but managed to talk myself into the wrong answer.
same here,lol
12/20. This test tests your ability to recognise facial expressions. Of the 5 categories listed, this only fits in with empathy.
What I don't understand, is I know someone who sleeps with married men. They don't care about the man's wife at home. Although they say they are empathetic, how can they be?
well.....they can be lying....one of those evil "geniuses" that she speaks of....even though any evil person is kind of an idiot for only being able to figure out how to get away with bad things instead of being able to play it out in their head before hand and consider how to prevent bad things in the first place
She's actually a reasonable person now, so no need to dislike the video lads.
I got an 11, so that makes me an emotional genius right?
1. self awareness 2. self regulation 3. social skills 4.motivation 5. empathy
Test wasn't long enough, it only measured part of emotional intelligence and the emotions are fake. Some of the facial expressions shown i have never seen in my life and I wouldn't have guessed some of the emotions if not for the multiple choice so I got 18/20.
I also got 18/20
Yes I agree. Beyond that one has to remember that emotions are also conveyed through tone of voice, choice of words, movement and composure, etc, while this test only tested your ability to read faces. This test is insufficient imo.
Asadron Fake faces too.
I scored a 20%!
I'm actually quite proud of myself, I expected much worse...
I had to guess on over half the questions, and some of my guesses were correct!
I really am quite pleased!
I don't think that quiz is a very accurate way of determining EQ. The only category was guessing facial expressions. I can totally see that being PART of an EQ quiz. But not all of it!
Dnews is a genuine UA-cam channel and I really appreciate a lot of the topics you do videos on. I love your guys videos thank you!
The test assumes that those features are what reflect how you feel independent of the rest of the face, which is why the actors looked like they were only told to pull those expressions (tongue looks more crazy than desiring... and that asian bloke looks like he's getting kicked up the ass when he's supposed to be * instantly * angry)... It would be interesting to see how effective it is if you had them watch film clips that would elicit those feelings, take pictures of their naturally feeling faces and then see if the test scores for the EQ test are proportionally the same for the real pictures.
In short. The test was bs.
and, I wanted to explain why...?
There really should been a qn in there that asked you is this expression
1) Self Pity
2) Humility
3) Lack of confidence OR
4) Low self esteem Or self despair/insecure
5) Apathy
Or another question which asks you
1) Zealous
2) Arrogance
3) Headstrong
4) Determined
5) Over-zealous
or (this one is for shits and giggles).....5) *Humble zealotry*????
OK we're starting to get technical here....LOL
1) Indifference
2) Aloofness
3) Snobbishness
4) Aristocratic
5) Sophisticated
Come on man I'm not boasting here but those expressions in the test were a little too easy to make out.
That test sucks, they're all fake emotions and they're bad at acting them
Got 'em all... OK, I'm lying but I got most (18). I'd also like to add that context matters a lot for some of these things; there's such a thing as "resting bitch face" & some people that like to pretend they're happy, then end up killing themselves the next day. The most determining factor of your emotional quotient is how you relate to people & being genuinely concerned or interested in them. From this practice, you'll be called a "great conversationalist", even when you don't really say anything, because allowing people to be themselves, & openly emotional, is like two intellects having a brilliant conversation.
P.S. I hope League of Legends - or other competitive online games - don't count, because I can become a total douche in those (I'm aware of it, so I am actively relaxed now). It's hard to remember that some people playing are just young kids, not good at that game, etc. & my first instinct is to think they're stupid. To all the people I treated this way in games; I'm sorry, I love you. Please don't uninstall the game like I suggested >.
Lol dat P.S.
I do that same exact thing except with HoN instead of LoL. hahahaha
I never understood how they could measure your EQ by guessing people's facial expressions.
I got 12, which is average.
I am 12 as well lol
I got 14/20
And I thought I was good at this.
But sadly as it turned out I was average.
KHALED ALFARIS Too be honest, some of them look a little forced, which that itself can deceive you from the correct answer.
I got 13
Humility is fundamental. Many people below seem to overlook this, and in fact do the exact opposite
laci green is one less reason to tune into this channel
Nah. This channel is awesome.
love Dnews but Laci is the one person on the team that I can't watch
This is a very important subject. The basic principle here is: work very hard, shut your mouth or move on. And don't let the suckers grind you down.
8/20
Everything went better than expected. :)
got 3
i came here expecting to receive the news that i'm the lamest person ever, but it turned out that i'm fine! And then she said social skills is the ability to communicate effectively, what you want and what you need, the bad thing is that i have tried everything possible to deliver my thoughts, and although people understood them they insisted to do the opposite thing and intentionally they keep judging, and they tended to retain their doubts and suspicions unjustly! And then she said empathy is considered the most important thing in the career success, and that people want to understand others and how they feel about things, this helps the person to provide excellent service or to understand what people around them need to do and be their best! And yet another bad thing here, which is i have observed that when people get provided with a good service or care they usually get spoiled and attempt to take advantage of it in a malicious and selfish way and seek what are not their rights!
13/20 but the quiz is clearly bunk because their faces aren't genuine; you can tell they are faked by actors. Though fortunately it does seem to act as a similar experiment. Those who immediately notice the emotions are unauthentic are better at recognizing true emotions whereas those who score well and do not realise the emotions are fake are better recognizing acted emotions. This would have very broad results but could be reformed into another test displaying both real and faked emotions and asking you to choose which are genuine.
I know she is reading off of note cards written by someone else or a team, but many disagree with this. The idea of EQ or EI is fairly new and i wish discovery wouldn't falsely educate masses of people. Personality types have a lot to do with self awareness and empathy and motivation, and many of these things don't all come as a bundle. So it's not very fair to people as a whole to label someone as emotionally smart, it just simply doesn't exist, and is vanity to think of yourself as emotionally more educated than someone else. And why
I think i have a low EQ; I still cry over a good piece of pie :/
I consider myself as a very emotional intelligent person, especially around my friends. I have seen some behaviors that shows some weakness in their emotions and this just confirm how strong emotionally I am and how wonderful it is. In my point of view, it´s not possible to construct and follow a great carreer for yourself without working on your EQ; In my case, for instance I always try to improve on my weak points and try too undertand what should I do to improve them? Talking alone, focusing on your own misundertandings, and even asking for people, can helps you a lot into became an emotional intelligent person.
I got a -1. I think I broke the scale....
20/20 for those over exaggerated actors. I use to study psychology when I was 12-15. Well, nearing 18 now and I believe it's quite easy to read people.
18/20 ...>.>. Not surprising. I was raised by psychopathic/sociopathic parents that spoke nothing, but non sense. Had to learn how to read people based on body language alone. OR, that test was just really simple for a noobie poker player. lol
Oh good, looks like my kids might be blessed with high EQs.
I get knocked down! but I get up again!"
hilarious. Made my day.
I can tell I have a good EQ ..but I lose track of my self awareness and how much it shows to other people because I have depression and it makes relationships nerve wracking and difficult on my side. Does anyone else feel like this? And have you conquered it?
I have had the exact same circumstance and I did conquer it.
Kiko H Congrats on conquering it.. how did you do it?
pythonmajestic I have found out that depression has a lot to do with expectations i.e. the way things should be, including myself. And you can get there by analysing the Description you make of things. Saying NO to these description, eventually gets you to a point of nothingness and connection with inner self. I practice meditation regularly. It helps a lot. Good luck. You are not alone. Respectfully.
i have been in very deep depression under lets say from 8-23 i took medication under maby 10 years and i thougth it was gone several time and stop take the medication but it took from 1 month to 6 month and it was back... i been free from medication and i think i found a way out of the depressions hand on me. by doing this simple steps!.
1. i found a small amount of group that having other problem like i did (not depression) and they had a plan how to conquer there thing.
2. ask your self: what am i feeling sad/bad for? if you find the answer go to next part. now you understand why you are depressed. ask your self is it worth it to hold on too this sad/bad thing ? isent it time to let that be in the past and see what else i will find happening in the world?
if you finding step 2 hard too do by your self? why not telling a friend/familymember/cousin or who ever to have them to ask this questions and you do the answer?
3. when you are finding the answers you have to go over to action and say to your self: yes i have been scared for life BUT now it is time for me to move along (but you will always remember it) and see what is coming next (be curius it will be very important to succed other wise you will ceep walking around in the depressing thougths)
for me i see this like a sort of meditation and if you feel this isent helping you there is professional about meditation (i am not i just did this steps and i came clean)
you can always feel free to contact me about this steps or if you feel you need a helping hand or something was a little bit blurr.
you have my faith in you to succed, and wishes you good luck, and a happy life :)
Thank you a bunch for the response, I will try meditating
I took the emotional Intelligence test and im not sure if im bad at it or the people in the test are just bad at displaying those emotions..
lol so i got 9, most of those questions are arguable. pretty stupid quiz lmao!
16 out of 20. when the last one came up with love, its kinda weird how i got it. i kinda felt that energy from the expression and my instinct was telling me love but my brain was saying otherwise
Emotional Intelligence is one of those things that simply takes learning from social interactions and experience. More experience with people means more EQ.
Facts
I have all of them, although I do have trouble with empathy I will admit. Not sure why... I do feel sorry for people, but I have a hard time showing that I care. And you know... sometimes I actually just don't care. I am very self aware and have good self regulation. So the reason why I don't have as much empathy is because I want these other people to be self aware and be in charge of their own emotions like I am. I rarely bother people with my problems because a lot of the time I feel like they think the same way I do and want me to just get over it. For the record I usually do get over things... It's rare I don't.
16/20
This test was wrong 4 times :)
Empathy is great for solving problems. For example, in toys r us a parent walks in and starts yapping about a toy she can't find. Instead of getting stressed out as the parent is try figuring out to alleviate her world by calming your alert systems and solving the problem knowing that she is a human just like you with many issues. At the end the parents themselves will thank you.
She's beautiful. Just saying.
+Keston R hell no she looks like a little troll or something
+Legio207 You are both brainwashed by your cultures to what is beautiful. Good job...just stamp "product" over your foreheads and go wash it off.
+unstoppableify Because everyone from the same culture finds the exact same people 'beautiful.' Okay.
NutritiouslyHigh Do research on how different societies see beauty and societies throughout time before attempting to talk about shit you don't know....because more than not....you will encounter someone who studies human behavior for a living or has a simple critical thinking process. Take your ass out of your ass.
NutritiouslyHigh-_- individual preferences is guided by culture. Nice to see you becoming a beligerent monster because I was to you ;) A+ for raising above right? slave to your emotions. Don't be controlled by the stimuli you experience. it was to say that your head was an ass...that there was nothing there... :/ you'll grab for anthing to get revenge on my namecalling wontcha?
those haven't anything to do with empathy or emotional intelligence, they're just based on microexpresions, although they help you know what a person feels, it doesn't mean you understand them. and that,to understand is the real empathy.
My EQ is -50 or something like that... ^^
You can't put a number around EQ
..or can you...need to rethink that response!
I'm okay emotionally, I some times wrongly assume someones mad at me, bu5t that's because I was abused by an emotional nut.
Also, I don't like to say sorry much, because I was forced to say sorry for things other people did or for just defending myself, so I say "You know how I feel about you", "I love you more than anything", "It won't happen again" or something to that effect.
Other than those two hiccups I think I'm okay emotionally, I saved a few lives, loved people, have always wanted to live and die for something.
I scored 4/20, which is pretty darned good considering I have Asperger's Syndrome!
I know, right? same here. I managed a 13/20, though that's mostly because I've been practicing for years on having functioning social skills. Plus, I feel like the exaggerated facial expressions threw me off.
Same m8
The faces shown are of what I think are people that would be really animated, expressing their emotions toward others without fear of embarrassment. Another words their expressions appear to be more amplified than what you'd observe in reality.
Chumbawumba.... or however you spell it....
EQ...Basically knowing how to get what you want out of others. Of course being smart is important, but if you don't know how to motivate and/or convey your message, you're probably not reaching your true potential. It's knowing how to hustle the world.
if you want to increase your EQ, stop spying on people and dehumanizing them
what do you mean?
THIS EXPLAINS SO MUCH ABOUT WHAT HAS RECENTLY BEEN GOING ON IN MY LIFE.
i got 20/20 btw.
16/20
I had trouble with the flirting questions.. .-.
I checked my Emotional Intelligence and it's...Over 9,000!
Proud that I understood that song reference xD
I got 7/20. This doesn't surprise me. I usually have to verbally engage someone to find out what they are feeling. Usually asking a question like "What are you thinking" or "Are you okay". I also had a really hard time expressing my emotions as a child/young adult, though I am fine at expressing them now. Maybe that is true of everyone before the brain is fully developed.
Get better actors for the test :D
that's what I'm saying....
+pete30simon
Those actors in the photos seemed to be too aware of the fact that they were acting.
It would have been much better if they actually managed to make themselves feel those emotions for real, so that they ACTUALLY felt happy/angry/surprised etc.
I believe that everything in life has to have a middle ground... whether professional or personal, but of course people always have a more active side. In my case, I consider myself an emotionally intelligent person because I have more characteristics on the emotional side (EQ), such as motivation, empathy, self-regulation, among others... than on the rational side (IQ). I tend to use emotion much more than reason in my life in general, which helps me a lot most of the time but on certain occasions ends up getting in my way, so I think we should have a balance because in any area of life we are in constant use and learning of intelligence, whether emotional or rational.
The faces are overtly exaggerated.
I missed the first question, then I realized 'Oh, their acting/emoting these emotions/facial expressions.' Feeling what someone's emotions are go beyond reading facial expressions.
I got 20/20, but... I'm a therapist. It's sort of my job to be good at this.
BTW, the blond guy in that test is forcing the faces, his emotions don't feel genuine at all; even if it's clear what facial expression he's trying to make.
That test is ridiculous. The faces they make in it are completely inaccurate to what someone might actually use to express emotions.
For example one has someone with a finger under their eye to express shame. What kind of face is that? Nobody does that!
Yeah. I missed most of the questions with him in it. Most of the other questions I got correct.
Wow sociopath
Theodoяe Kяap what? do you know what a sociopath is?
Mario Sergio A highly emotionally intelligent person that uses others for his or her benefit.
Theodoяe Kяap not exactly. Sociopaths tend to have good emotional intelligence, but what makes a person a sociopath is not their ability to manipulate others, is their lack of remorse, or conscience.
After reading the comments, I don't feel bad that I got 12/20.
Half the faces I never even seen anyone do in real life.
This is why i love Dnews. Always seems to upload a video on something we've just been talking about.
17/20... hate these EQ tests, they do these weirdly exaggerated faces. I find that the ones with a more subtle, nuanced face and responding by selecting a course of action to take in a certain situation instead of just identifying an emotion are more accurate, ofc that could be because I score higher on that.
Agreed. I had to turn away and look back several times.
Yay I scored : 15/20
Not bad. Your score means you're better than the average at reading expressions. And research suggests that people can improve their emotion recognition skills with practice.
