What this test measures
Correct and incorrect answers indicate knowledge of the concepts in this practice. They do not establish a trait profile, diagnosis or job fit.
- Describe what you observed before deciding what another person meant. A short reply can have many explanations.
- Name a feeling as precisely as you can. 'Disappointed' and 'overwhelmed' point to different experiences even when both feel unpleasant.
- An open question leaves room for correction. It is often more informative than telling someone what they must be feeling.
| Category | Questions in bank | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Social | 7 | Reading a room, handling conflict, and choosing the move that reopens a stuck interaction. |
| Empathy | 7 | Identifying what another person feels, including mixed and masked states. |
| Self-awareness | 8 | Naming your own state, blends such as shame or jealousy, and which mood helps which task. |
| Impulse control | 8 | The pause between the feeling and the reply. Delay, flooding, and repair. |
A worked example
A teammate replies 'OK' to a detailed message. How could you check your interpretation?
- Observation: the reply contains one short word.
- Interpretation: 'They are annoyed with me.' That is possible, but not established.
- Ask: 'Does this plan work for you, or is there something we should adjust?' Let the answer provide more information.
