Reviewed by Gildas Garrec, CBT practitioner
Good morning,
This test looks at what a parent notices about their child's emotional skills: recognizing what they and others feel, expressing it in a way that gets through, putting themselves in someone else's shoes, and drawing on their emotions when things get complicated. The report shows where each of these four skills stands today.
What you receive — a report written from your answers: what stands out, what sustains it, and where to start. This week, this month, later on.
How it is built — each axis is analyzed on its own, then cross-read with the others, through clinical reading frameworks. Your detailed answers are attached as an appendix. See an example report
The test runs over 63 questions and takes about 10 min, for a price of $3.60.
We'd also suggest reading the book Adolescence in Crisis, to take this reflection further. It's included in the price and downloadable.

QUICK ANSWER
My child's emotional intelligence — a 63-question self-assessment, about 10 min. This test looks at what a parent notices about their child's emotional skills: recognizing emotions, expressing them, putting themselves in someone else's shoes, making use of them. Once finished, you receive a detailed PDF report ($3.60): an interpretation of its 5 dimensions, a radar chart, up to 14 clinical reading frameworks and a personalized action plan. It is designed to help you know yourself better.
This test covers emotions, anger, calming down, empathy, listening, friendship, difficulties, perseverance and readiness to change. What the test asks, for example Emotions If, after a difficult day, your child finds the word — fear, sadness, anger — without you having to suggest it. If, when someone at home is sad or worried, your child does not notice it until they are told. Anger If, when angry with their brother, your child raises their voice without resorting to hitting or name-calling. If, when feelings run high, your child has no way of calming back down. Calming down If, when upset, your child puts it into words rather than slamming the door or storming off to their room. If, after an upset, your child only calms down if someone comes and sits down next to them. Empathy If your child stops in the middle of a joke when they see the other person's face fall. If, when a classmate falls and cries in the playground, your child keeps their distance. Listening If your child asks their friend whether they want advice or just someone to listen. If, at the table, your child interrupts and goes straight on to talk about their own day. Friendship If, at a day camp, your child quickly makes friends with children of a different age or background. If your child lets friendships drift apart until they fade out, for want of a message or a call. Difficulties If, when stuck on homework, your child comes to find you or sends a message to a friend. If, as soon as a test is announced, your child starts crying or freezes in front of their notebook. Perseverance If, when something they are building doesn't work out, your child starts again a different way. If your child gives up an activity at the very first session that takes some effort. Readiness to change If what you have just described weighs on your life as a parent. If you want to take action to better support your child in this area.
About this test
▼
Dimensions assessed
- ●Your view of the way your child understands and manages their own emotions and those of others- How you explain the way your child understands and manages their own emotions and those of others, before the test tells you anything. This section does not measure any difficulty or produce a level: it simply records your initial view.
- ●Recognizing emotions- How well your child reads emotions, their own as well as other people's. The report places this dimension first: how finely emotions are picked up shapes part of what follows.
- ●Expression and regulation- What happens between feeling something and acting on it. This dimension assesses the resources your child has at that precise point, on their own or with an adult's support.
- ●Empathy and relationships- How your child takes others into account in their relationships. The report looks here at adjusting to the other person, which is distinct from sensitivity: noticing and taking into account do not always go together.
- ●Navigating difficult situations- What your child does with a situation that won't give way, and what the episode leaves in their self-image. The report reads these two effects together, because each feeds the other.
- ●Your readiness to support- Your readiness as a parent to explore this area. It is considered separately, because a child learns a great deal about emotional life from the way the people around them talk about it.
Reference frameworks and authors
- Goleman D. — Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ (Goleman D., 1995)

Emotional intelligence develops progressively — it is not fixed at birth and evolves throughout childhood. A low score does not mean your child lacks empathy or has a deficit: it describes a developmental stage, an area to explore together. This test identifies observable behaviors — it does not replace professional advice if you have concerns about your child's emotional development.
Why take this test?

This test looks at what a parent notices about their child's emotional skills: recognizing what they and others feel, expressing it in a way that gets through, putting themselves in someone else's shoes, and drawing on their emotions when things get complicated. The report shows where each of these four skills stands today.
The questionnaire explores 5 areas: Your view of the way your child understands and manages their own emotions and those of others, Recognizing emotions, Expression and regulation, Empathy and relationships, Navigating difficult situations. Your answers support reflection, not a diagnosis. A separate module explores readiness to change; it is not another trait of the model presented.
