The technique is designed to reveal the individual's ability to understand relationships represented in emotions and to manage his emotional sphere on the basis of decision-making. It consists of 30 statements and contains five scales:
- scale 1 - "Emotional awareness";
- scale 2 - "Management of one's emotions" (emotional withdrawal, emotional instability);
- scale 3 - "Self-motivation" (arbitrary control of one's emotions);
- scale 4 – "Empathy";
- scale 5 - "Recognition of other people's emotions" (the ability to influence the emotional state of others).
