There is more to life than just academic, sport or artistic talent. Making the right decisions is a major life skill that determines whether you become a success or a failure. Do you act first then think about it later or do you never think at all and just let the winds of life blow you where they will? Test your emotional intelligence level.
From the following questions, choose one option.
There is no wrong or right answer but some answers show higher emotional intelligence.
Also ask a friend to do the quiz on your behalf and ask them to tick the answer that they believe would be your most likely reaction.

SCORE YOURSELF
Mostly As
Your emotional intelligence is pretty high as you think most things through before you react. Your emotional reactions are guided by your brain.
You are guided by what is inside you, not by what other people do.
But at the same time you consider others when you are making a decision. Even though some bad things may happen in your life, you will always be a winner.
Mostly Bs & Cs
You act on your feelings. You most probably never really listen to what people who do not agree with you say.
You need to start thinking about all angles of the problem before you decide on a solution.
You are likely to be quite malicious and be bent on revenge whenever someone offends you.
You may lose some great opportunities because of your emotional reactions.
Mostly Ds
To a certain extent you think before you act, but you tend to look at one side of the argument.
Learn to look at things from different angles.
When you look back at your decision later most probably you will wish you had done things differently.
Mostly Es
You think that you are avoiding trouble by not making decisions.
You do not want to be forced into a corner and you find it hard to give a straight answer.
You do not want to take responsibility for the outcome.
But by not making a decision you are making a choice; to let other people control your life.
What’s next?
As I said earlier, there are no wrong and right answers for this quiz, but if your friend’s answers are totally different from yours ask yourself, are you being honest?
Then now you must ask yourself if you like the image of you that the answers revealed.
If you do not, then you can look at the qualities that you would like to possess and work on getting them.
