What EQ tests can — and cannot — tell you

Emotional intelligence is the fastest-growing request we see — and the most frequently mis-bought. The first fork is whether you want ability EI (a maximal-performance test) or trait EI (a self-report of typical behaviour).

They predict different things, fake differently, and suit different uses. Naming which one you need is the whole game.
