What the test asks, for example Putting feelings into words Whether, when someone asks how you are, you find it hard to find the right word.

Whether, when anger rises, you can tell in the moment that it's anger. Anger Whether, in the heat of annoyance, you respond right away and think afterward. Whether, when someone sharply corrects you in front of other people, you keep your calm. Mood Whether, when the day starts with an annoyance, it colors everything until evening. Whether, after a frustrating day, you get back to a calm tone when you come home. Anxiety Whether, when everything hits at once first thing in the morning, you lose your calm. Whether, when anxiety rises, you go for a walk or breathe, and it eases off. Failure Whether, after a rejection that hits you, it takes you a long time to get going again. Whether a rejection on a project you care about doesn't discourage you for long. Perseverance Whether, after a while on the same project, your initial enthusiasm has faded. Whether, when a project gets bogged down, you keep at it without letting go. Hope Whether you start a project already thinking it has little chance of succeeding. Whether, even in a difficult period, you find something in your day that's going well. Listening Whether, when someone confides a problem to you, you jump straight to advice without listening to the end. Whether you listen to someone tell their problem all the way through, without judging or interrupting. Empathy Whether the fact that someone close isn't doing well escapes you as long as they don't say so plainly. Whether, when an acquaintance is going through a bereavement, their grief stirs you. Dialogue Whether, in a group discussion, you find it hard to get your idea across the first time. Whether you bring others around to your view through your arguments, without forcing them. Conflict Whether, when an argument breaks out at the table, the situation overwhelms you and you struggle to calm it. Whether, when a meal with friends turns sour, you say something that lets the pressure drop. Identity Whether, when someone close describes the way you act, it surprises you because it doesn't match the image you have of yourself. Whether you can say, when asked, what you're good at and where you get stuck. Readiness to change Whether what you have just described matters in how you function day to day. Whether you want to get better at working with this way of functioning.
