Let's see your emotional literacy, guys! Take the quiz here

My result:

You have no problem in accepting and using your emotions when appropriate, while imposing restraint on destructive impulses. You are comfortable with your natural responses where they serve their turn and know how to channel their useful physiological consequences to best effect.

My Result:

Your robust attempts to master your emotions are praiseworthy but frequently ill-judged and unsympathetic. You defend yourself from "unworthy" emotions by simulating appropriate responses, but you tend to give rent-free space in your head to people and things which were better considered, understood and consigned to the emotional data-bank for subsequent use. Try allowing emotions, even emotions which seem unworthy - anger, fear, frailty, depression, etc. - into harmless contexts such as when listening to music or watching films, explore them and acknowledge them. They are part of the armoury of wisdom.

hmm.. are we suppose to acknowledge anger?

I think it means you have to open up to emotions, even those you feel when you're watching movies or listening to music, so that it will build up your wisdom Smile
