HOW THIS TEST WORKS
How Am I Emotionally Mature? works
How version core-v1 is scored, and what it can and cannot tell you.
How it is scored
"Emotional maturity" is not a medical term. It is a common name for how well people handle feelings, mistakes, and hard moments. This test is based on several areas of research: how people manage their emotions (Gross, 1998), how they bounce back from setbacks (Connor and Davidson, 2003), and how they can wait for something better later instead of something now (Mischel, Shoda, and Rodriguez, 1989).
This test looks at five areas: owning your actions, staying steady, talking it out, bouncing back, and patience and perspective. Each area has eight sentences. Half describe the skill and half describe the opposite, so you cannot get a high score just by agreeing with everything. Each answer gives 0 to 4 points.
Each area score runs from 0 to 100, and a higher score means stronger skills. Your overall score is the average of the five areas. Scores are read as Low (0 to 33), Medium (34 to 66), or High (67 to 100). These levels show how you answered. They do not compare you with other people.
PersonalitySite.com wrote all of these questions and descriptions. They are not copied from any other test.
What it cannot tell you
This test is for learning about yourself. It is not a diagnosis. It should never be used to call someone "immature" or to make work, hiring, or legal decisions about anyone.
People tend to rate themselves kindly, and your answers can change with stress, sleep, and what is going on in your life.
This version has not yet been tested with a large group of people, so we do not yet know how accurate it is.
