Emotional Attraction
Assessment
You may have heard of IQ, or Intelligence Quotient. There is also an EQ, or
Emotional Quotient, sometimes referred to as Emotional Intelligence. If you look
it up on the Internet, you will find many different definitions and theories about it.
Though we will not attempt to measure your EQ, we provide an idea of what it is.
The editorial review of the book Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman on
www.Amazon.com says, “He defines emotional intelligence in terms of self-
awareness, altruism, personal motivation, empathy, and the ability to love and be
loved by friends, partners, and family members.” In short, it has two areas of
importance: understanding yourself, your feelings, your goals, your behaviors, and
the like understanding others, especially their feelings
From that premise, we ask questions to help you evaluate your emotional
attractiveness.
Use the ten-point scale below to rate where you believe you are in the emotional
area asked about. Score each question based on what you feel emotional
attractiveness is as perceived by your spouse.
