Governance, Boundaries & Ethical Use
This is a 68-item self-report inventory covering 7 facets, 9-10 items each. It measures self-reported emotional style and habits, not objectively tested emotional-intelligence ability (there are no right or wrong answers, unlike ability-based EI tests). Results reflect how you currently see yourself, not an objective or clinical evaluation.

Facet scores reflect this test's own item pool only — they are not compared against a published clinical or population norm; no such norm has been entered for this instrument.
