How emotionally intelligent

are you?

How emotionally intelligent are you?

The way in which we communicate in the modern workplace is constantly changing. And as organizations have evolved to support hybrid/remote working, there’s never been a greater emphasis on managers like you developing a much sought-after skill – emotional intelligence (EI).


EI is the ability to recognize, understand and control your emotions – and their impact on others – as well as being attuned to the emotions of other people. Those with high EI are typically more adaptable, self-confident, great listeners, and enablers of collaboration.


Now more than ever, leaders are looking for people with exceptional interpersonal skills and the ability to communicate above and below. In fact, the demand for emotional skills will grow by 26 percent by 2030.*


Your genetics, upbringing and environment all play a role in your level of EI. But this isn’t a skill that you need to be born with. Fortunately, EI is something that can be developed.


Our Emotional Intelligence self-test is a set of 15 statements designed to help you understand how emotionally intelligent you are. You’ll also be pointed toward the resources that will help you to become more emotionally intelligent.


Take the test.
