Before you start
- There are no obviously right or wrong answers. Every option is something a reasonable adult might do; they differ in what they pay attention to.
- Answer as you would actually respond, not as you think you should. A flattering answer produces a useless report.
- This is educational and self-reflective. It is not a clinical or psychological instrument, it diagnoses nothing, and it is not validated for hiring or team selection.
Your answers save as you go, so you can close this and come back later.
Methodology, limitations and validation status
What it measures. Six facets of everyday emotional skill: emotional recognition, self-awareness, emotional regulation, empathy, social judgement and conflict response. It measures the choices you make in written scenarios, which is not the same as what you do under real emotional load.
Where the items come from. All 36 scenarios and their response options were written for MindScore. No items are taken from a published or proprietary emotional-intelligence inventory. Options are graded by partial credit rather than keyed right or wrong, and were written so that no option is an obviously poor choice.
How it is scored. Each option carries a credit between 0 and 1. A domain score is credit earned over credit available within that domain, expressed on a 0-100 scale. The overall score is the unweighted mean of the six domains, and fixed thresholds map it to one of four descriptive bands.
Validation status. Not independently validated. No norming sample exists, no item-level statistics have been collected, and no convergent validity against established measures has been established. Scores describe performance on these items only.
- Choosing a response in a written scenario is easier than producing it in the moment, so this measures judgement rather than behaviour.
- The credits reflect MindScore’s reasoning about what each response attends to. Reasonable people disagree about individual items, and cultural norms about directness and emotional expression vary widely.
- This is not a clinical instrument. It does not screen for alexithymia, autism, personality disorders or any other condition, and a low score is not evidence of any of them.
- It is not designed or validated for hiring, promotion or team selection.
