The Schutte Self Report Emotional Intelligence Test (SSEIT) is a 33 item self-report measure of emotional intelligence developed by Schutte et al. (1998). The SREIS has been designed to map onto the Salovey and Mayer (1990) model of EI. Items of the test relate to the three aspects of EI: (1) appraisal and expression of emotion (2) regulation of emotion (3) utilisation of emotion

CREIO Statement Many tests that promise to measure emotional intelligence have appeared in recent years.  Some of these tests seem promising, but many have not been empirically evaluated.  As a service to our visitors, we have reviewed many of these tests and selected those for which there is a substantial body of research (at least five published journal articles or book chapters that provide empirical data based on the test).  However, inclusion of a test on this web site does not constitute an endorsement of that test by CREIO.
