According to your self-report answers, your emotional intelligence is very poor. People who score like you do feel that they have trouble dealing with their own emotions and those of others. They struggle to overcome difficulties in their lives and they are unable to control their moods. It's hard for them to understand how best to motivate themselves and reach their goals. In addition, they find social interactions quite difficult, for several reasons. They may have trouble allowing themselves to get close with others, finding it difficult to be vulnerable enough to establish intimacy. They also report having trouble offering support to others, likely due to the fact that they do not understand where others are coming from or they lack ideas about how best to help. Perhaps by working on your problem areas, you can become more confident in dealing with your own emotions and those of others.

Well... I'd like to say I'm surprised by this result but I'm not. This test can go f**k itself because I've been working on my "problem areas" in vain for years.

And to think, as I was doing it I thought I was killing it.

Guess not.

My EQ is similarly challenged. (4th percentile)

But this is hardly surprising. I have a very narrow emotional range. But unlike the narrative summary, I don't think it presents a significant impediment in my life. My friends don't expect large emotional responses from me, and my colleagues seem to perceive me as, "cool under pressure."

Having grown up and matured (somewhat) with this brain, I seem to have developed coping skills to navigate around this deficit.

Here are my results...but I'm still wondering if this is a good test to rely on. It's on the internet after all. I'm going to see what I score on a different emotional intelligence test

How Did You Score?
Your results indicate a high score on emotional intelligence.

What Does Your Score Mean?
People who score high on emotional intelligence tend to be skilled at interpreting, understanding, and acting upon emotions. They are adept at dealing with social or emotional conflicts, expressing their feelings, and dealing with emotional situations.

It's important to remember that no matter how good your score is, there is always room to improve your emotional intelligence. Consider areas where you are not as strong and think of ways that you can learn and grow. Take stock of your strong points and find ways to continue to develop and apply these skills.

I don't think that "About.com" test is very accurate; it seems very superficial and the questions are way too subjective.
Something is wrong if I'm in the lowest 2% on one test and higher than average on another.
The text results for the first test were also much more like me than the following text:
