A domain-specific emotional intelligence assessment

Interior Life Mapping

Five short domains for mapping the interior life of a leader, counsellor, or parent — from the mirror to the door.

The Mirror→ The Furnace→ The Ruins→ The Border→ The Door

Before you begin

Thirty-five statements across five domains, about ten minutes in all. Answer for how things actually are, not how you would like them to be.

  • Work quickly — your first instinct is more accurate than your considered one.
  • This instrument is a conversation starter, not a diagnostic. Scores open questions; they do not close them.
  • Items are adapted from validated psychological instruments, cited beneath each statement.

Domain by domain

How to read your score

1.0 – 2.4  Priority — formation work is needed here
2.5 – 3.4  Developing — present but inconsistent
3.5 – 4.2  Strength — operating well; maintain and deepen
4.3 – 5.0  Exceptional — a formation asset; ensure it serves others

Each domain score is the average of its seven responses, on a 1.0–5.0 scale. Reverse-worded items are scored inversely so that a higher number always reflects greater strength.

Scores open questions; they do not close them.

Your formation plan

Turn your map into a plan

Your coach reads your answers, finds the room that most needs your attention, and builds a personal plan: research-based emotional intelligence practices alongside the Reflection Questions and Soul Practices from Emotionally Whole. Then you can talk it through.

To write your plan, your answers, first name and messages are sent to an AI service. This site doesn’t store them, so print or save your plan as a PDF to keep it.
