answering the questions? Let's calculate the score. For every A-answer, give
yourself five points. For every B-answer, four points. For every C-answer, three points. For every D-answer, two points. And for every E-answer, one point. Add up your points. And the higher your points are, the higher your level
of emotional maturity. If you got 41 to 50 points, you process an extremely high
level of emotional maturity. You have a remarkable ability
to sit with your pain and stay with the discomfort until you
can identify your emotions. When you have made mistakes, you own them and find ways
to rectify the situation. You always know how to put
yourself in someone else's shoes and show empathy. If you scored 31 to 40 points, you have a high level
of emotional maturity. In most situations, you
validate your emotions and resist the urge to
ignore or get rid of them. Most of the time, you take responsibility for what you've done wrong
and try to make up for it. Seeing from other people's points of view is often easy for you. If you scored 21 to 30 points, you have a moderate level
of emotional maturity. You find yourself being able
to control your emotions in some situations. Furthermore, you find
that you sometimes relate and understand people who have different perspectives than you, but at other times, you
may struggle in doing so. If you scored 11 to 20 points, you struggle to make
sense of your feelings and find them too
overwhelming to deal with. You may find it difficult to admit to your mistakes or apologize for them. You also tend to think
from your own perspective and may have difficulty seeing
another person's perspective. And if you scored one to 10 points, you struggle to regulate your emotions. You may lack emotional and social skills and have trouble relating to
other people's experiences. You dislike compromise and
always wanna have your own way. So, what's your level
of emotional maturity? Let us know in the comments below. Remember, emotional maturity
is always an ongoing process. It isn't a situation where
one reaches a certain level of self-understanding once and then remains static throughout life. Not everyone can display
emotional maturity in all situations. The most important thing
is to be self-aware and strive to improve every time. Did this video provide some insight? If so, don't forget to leave a like and share with a friend. As usual, all references are
