One way to judge a person's emotional intelligence is to assess how they deal with a situation in which everything has gone wrong.  For instance, a person who blames other people and just gets angry and frustrated is not particularly emotionally aware or intelligent. However, a flexible person who is able to effectively adapt and cope to bad situations has more emotional maturity. If you're in an interview or other situation in which you're trying to assess a person's emotional intelligence, try getting them to discuss their work relationships. If they don't seem to get along with anyone or have a nice thing to say about anyone, they probably aren't as emotionally mature as you'd like.  For instance, someone might say, "I try to keep my work relationships professional, and truthfully, I prefer to work alone." This could indicate a lack of emotional intelligence. However, someone who says, "I enjoy working with all types of people, so I'm so happy that my workplace encourages cooperation," may have a bit more emotional maturity. This tactic might seem a little bizarre, but an emotionally intelligent person will take on this challenge with relish. Be sure to push the person to describe things you don't understand, and see how they respond. An emotionally intelligent person will try to rework what they're saying so you can understand, while a person who is less emotionally intelligent may start getting frustrated or agitated. This question helps you assess what values the person admires. In turn, you can at least see who they aspire to be, as we often admire people who we strive to be like. That tells you what level of emotional intelligence the person is working towards.
