Relational Intelligence Test: What It Measures and How to Read Your Score


Relational intelligence is the ability to understand others, communicate effectively and build healthy, enriching relationships. It goes beyond simple sociability to encompass deeper skills of listening, assertive communication, conflict management and positive influence. This test explores those four essential dimensions to help you understand your relational strengths and the areas you can improve for more fulfilling relationships.

In the article that follows, I explore communication within the couple. If you recognise yourself in this theme, I designed a couple communication test that helps you take stock of your communication patterns as a couple. It comes with a guide to extend your reflection beyond the results. I also wrote two books on this subject, Saving Your Relationship: Communication, Crises, and Renewal and Understanding Your Attachment Style, if you would like to go further. Worth knowing: I also offer ScanMyLove, a tool that analyses couple conversations from a simple export, to better understand a relationship's dynamic.

What the test measures

  • The ability to truly listen to others with attention, empathy and without judgement.
  • The capacity to communicate clearly, respectfully and constructively.
  • The ability to handle disagreements and tensions constructively and calmly.
  • The capacity to inspire, motivate and positively influence the people around you.

How to read your score

The result reads as an intensity, not as a diagnosis:

  • Relational intelligence to develop: Your relational skills need substantial work. Relationships are probably a frequent source of difficulty.
  • Moderate relational intelligence: You have decent relational foundations, but several dimensions deserve strengthening.
  • Good relational intelligence: You have solid relational skills that allow you to create and maintain healthy relationships.
  • Excellent relational intelligence: Your relational skills are excellent. You are a pillar in your relationships and the people around you benefit from your social intelligence.
