It is, or should be true that no one can know you better than you your self. Many claim to be totally in tune with their inner selves, and no body can judge that better than the person himself. The truth is, it takes a lot of patience, thought and peace to realize and know your inner self totally, and this does not come by chance but by practice alone. Men have the habit of lying to others that they are totally happy with who they are, in order to fit in with others. However it takes only one little mishap in their lives to prove them wrong and the ugly truth is then displayed for all to see.

Emotional Intelligence tests do help people realize the level of their relation with emotions. Tests are a good way to assess your self, since people really do not like being judged by other people. You wouldn't like a person telling you that you lack emotional intelligence, or that you lack anything for that matter. You'd immediately go on the defensive, assuming that letting your guard down in front of this person could spell trouble for you. On the other hand, we find it harder to listen to an unbiased testing system, so why not go for it?

We all strive to attain perfection in every area of our lives. But perfection is subjective to what you feel is right. Another person may call it wring and you may call it right. Our reactions to situations are only a result of what we have learned and accepted as 'right', from those around us that we have trusted through our lives, and thanks to our own reasoning powers.

We sometimes get biased about things around us, thanks to previous experiences, and this is an unhealthy state of mind definitely. We need to look at every situation without bias, for us to be able to judge it to perfection, and to react adequately. Emotional intelligence tests help us evaluate if we have these flaws or biases that need to be removed.

Teachers are today encouraged to administer emotional intelligence tests, to get to know their students better. It is only then that they can give due attention to the students on a personal and individual basis. After all, everyone is made differently and need different kind of approaches to solve the same problems.

Taking emotional intelligence tests is finally for our own good. When you know yourself better, you can deal with yourself better and you know what to avoid and what to go after. This can only mean a more successful and a more fruitful life.
