About this test
The test is built on the 10P Emotional Literacy System, which divides emotional literacy into two halves. Literacy is reading emotion: Self-Awareness and Social Awareness. Intelligence is responding: choosing the right tool through Self-Management and Relationship Management. Most tests measure only the second half. This one scores both.
The final step maps your coping mechanisms, drawing on the Theory of Emotional Illiteracy-Based Criminality, which holds that destructive behaviors, from retail therapy to crime, are coping mechanisms for unprocessed pain.
Levels: Sleeping Giant (0–44), Awakening (45–64), Rising Leader (65–81), Legacy Level (82–100). This is an educational self-reflection tool, not a validated psychometric instrument or a diagnosis.
