Four IPIP-VIA-R self-reports · Full results free
Take the free social intelligence test: four IPIP-VIA-R self-reports, raw totals, reverse scoring, missing information and a full guide with examples.
4 questions · about 2 minutes · no signup
Rate how accurately each sentence describes you as you generally are now, from 1 Very inaccurate to 5 Very accurate, rather than your ideal image. English retains public-domain IPIP wording; Chinese is our trial translation. Sensing, knowing and guessing are self-reports, not proof that a judgment is correct. The middle response is neither inaccurate nor accurate, not missing information. Use the separate option if unable to judge or preferring not to answer; it is never zero or neutral. Make four selections for the full result; all four must be scored to display a raw total of 4–20. No conversation, other person’s emotions or private story is entered.

How do you describe your confidence in sensing others, responding in a new social setting and guessing reactions? This entry uses four public-domain IPIP-VIA-R Social/Personal/Emotional Intelligence items, our Chinese trial translation and the original two positive and two negative keys. Four valid ratings produce a raw total of 4–20 and a descriptive mean; any unscored answer keeps the personal score unavailable while all nine sections remain readable. The guide covers higher, lower, middle or mixed answers, examples and counterexamples, optional checks, sources and privacy. It assigns no five social roles and is no ability, IQ or EQ test. These are the same four items as the facet in our 96-item character-strengths form, offered separately for access without claiming a new construct or validated equivalence. Read everything without signup or another assessment.
One nine-section guide covers higher, lower, middle or mixed self-reports and insufficient information, with raw sums, reverse keys, examples and checks. It is not selected from five social roles. Public pages contain no personal answers or scores; read before deciding whether to answer.
Read four IPIP-VIA-R self-reports through raw sums, reverse keys, higher or lower readings, missing information and checking an inference.
This guide reads how accurately you describe yourself in four statements: sensing others’ feelings, handling yourself in a new social setting, knowing what to say to make people feel good, and guessing their reactions. English retains the four SOC/SIQ items in IPIP-VIA-R; Chinese uses our existing trial translation. Words such as good and know remain your self-description, not our verdict on ability. The four statements contribute to one continuous score rather than four kinds of person, and this edition has no five social roles. You may read everything before answering or finish here without supplying a real conversation.
Choose accuracy from 1 to 5. The two positive items keep their rating; the two negative items about a new social situation and guessing reactions use six minus the response. Only four valid ratings produce a raw total, ranging from 4 to 20. A descriptive mean divides the unrounded sum by four and shows two decimals; it never reconstructs the total from the engine’s one-decimal mean. For example, responses 4, 2, 3, 1 in presentation order become 4 + 4 + 3 + 5 = 16, with a mean of 4.00. Any NA prevents a personal total. Category sums are a scoring convention, not measurement precision.
Twelve can result from choosing three for every item, or one or five for every item, because two items reverse. Those patterns differ; twelve is no population average, optimal balance or ordinary social intelligence. Different item patterns can also share another total, so a total cannot identify a specific difficult situation. If one answer is unscored because you cannot judge, lack information or prefer not to answer, the attempt can still finish with the whole guide available. Its personal total and mean remain unavailable without estimating from three ratings. An unselected response is unfinished. You may remain unscored, clear progress or retake without disclosing anything private.
The social-intelligence facet in our 96-item character-strengths form contains these same four items, bilingual wording, keys and raw arithmetic. This focused entry makes them easier to access; it introduces no different psychological construct. Surrounding questions and the context of separate administration may affect responses, so matching arithmetic does not establish equivalence between administrations. Nor can the longer form’s one-decimal display substitute for this raw total. These self-descriptions are not extraversion, kindness, intimate care or emotional ability and cannot convert into IQ or EQ. The 21-item TSIS, VIA Institute survey and JobCannon’s five profiles use other material and methods. Numbers from those editions are not interchangeable or a hiring ranking.
English wording and positive or negative keys come from the four SOC, now SIQ, items in the official IPIP-VIA-R table. IPIP places its items, scales and inventories in the public domain for commercial and non-commercial use without contacting the author. That applies to IPIP material, not other social-intelligence instruments, brands or competitor content. German and UK statistics in the key table concern the original research conditions, not this Chinese trial translation, separate four-item presentation, NA rule or you individually. We have no representative local norms, individual accuracy estimate, optimal interval or meaningful-change threshold for this edition. Broad item wording resolves neither the construct debate nor questions about health, neurodivergence or observed ability.
All nine sections, the public guide, retakes and sharing are free without another assessment. On review, consider whether you pictured familiar companions, a new group or cross-language settings. Changing context can change answers; a single difference demonstrates neither improvement nor decline in ability. The page collects no conversation or third-party details and processes answers on this device. An explicitly enabled tab draft lasts at most twenty-four hours and clears on completion, exit-and-clear or retake; answering requires no saved draft. Sharing contains only the test name, public guide name and link, without answers, totals, means or rating counts. A later assessment is an optional different framework, not validation or completion of this score.
