Abstract

This paper provides an in-depth look at the evaluation of gender bias through emotional intelligence tests. It begins by presenting a set of emotional intelligence evaluation containing multiple questions designed to evaluate an individual's performance in the area of emotional intelligence. These questions were answered from the male and female perspectives to explore differences in emotional intelligence performance across gender perspectives. The results of the evaluation showed that the male perspective scored 136 points and was categorized as "high EQ", while the female perspective scored 96 points and was rated as "average EQ". These results reveal a different approach to EQ issues between the two perspectives and suggest a possible gender bias. By analyzing these scores, the purpose of this paper is to provide insight into the impact of gender in EQ evaluation and to explore ways to reduce gender bias in the design and interpretation of EQ evaluation.

1. Introduction

Emotional Intelligence (EQ) refers to an individual's ability to understand, use, express and manage emotions. Traditionally, EQ has been recognized as a key factor in personal success and social competence. However, in recent years, with the increased focus on gender equality, how to avoid gender bias in EQ evaluation has become an important topic. This interaction focuses on evaluating and improving gender bias in EQ evaluation with a view to providing a more comprehensive and objective evaluation of EQ.

Reference answer and scoring evaluation: When scoring, please follow the marking criteria, first calculate the score of each part, and finally add up the scores of several parts, and the one you get will be your final score.

For questions 1 to 9, 6 points are awarded for each A, 3 points for a B, and 0 points for a C.

For questions 10 to 16, each answer to an A is worth 5 points, each answer to a B is worth 2 points, and each answer to a C is worth 0 points.

For questions 17 to 25, each answer to an A is worth 5 points, each answer to a B is worth 2 points, and each answer to a C is worth 0 points.

For questions 26 to 29, each "yes" answer is worth 0 points, and each "no" answer is worth 5 points. For questions 30 to 33, the scores from left to right are 1 points, 2 points, 3 points, 4 points, and 5 points.

After the evaluation if your score is below 90, it means that your EQ is low, you often can't control yourself and you are highly susceptible to your emotions. Often times, you are easily struck with anger, fire and temper, which is a very dangerous sign - your career may be ruined by your irritability The best solution for this is to be able to give a good explanation for something bad Keep your head cool and make yourself cheerful As Franklin said: " Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain but it takes character and self-control to be understanding and forgiving. "

If your score is 90 to 129, it means that your EQ is average, for one thing, you may behave differently at different times, which is related to your awareness, you are more EQ-conscious than the former, but this kind of awareness is not often, so you need to pay more attention to it and be reminded of it from time to time.

If your score is 130 to 149, it means that your EQ is high, you are a happy person, not easy to fear and worry, you are passionate about your work and dare to take responsibility, you are righteous and upright, sympathetic and caring, which is your strength and you should try to keep it.

If you have an EQ score of 150 or above, you're an EQ master, and your emotional intelligence is not only a hindrance to your career, it's an important prerequisite for your career success.

3. EQ evaluation of the GPT from a Male Perspective

Based on the above EQ evaluation criteria, the GPT from a male perspective analyzes himself as follows：

Total score: 136

A GPT4 score of 136 from the male perspective indicates that the EQ from this perspective is rated as "high", indicating that being a happy person who is not easily affected by fear or worry, who is passionate about his work, and who has a sense of justice and empathy are strengths that are worth maintaining. This suggests that responses from the male perspective demonstrate higher levels of self-awareness, emotional management, and social skills in terms of emotional intelligence. Specifically, the responses reflect the following characteristics:

Emotional control and stress management: In tests, the male perspective usually demonstrates

greater emotional control and ability to cope with stress. For example, it is usually able to remain relatively calm and positive in the face of challenges, conflicts or mistakes at work.

Social Interaction: In socially related topics, responses from the male perspective tended to show a direct and decisive style of communication. This may reflect directness and candor in dealing with interpersonal relationships.

Career attitudes and decision-making: In questions related to career and decision-making, the

male perspective's answers usually show a higher level of enthusiasm and responsibility, as well as decisiveness and confidence in the decision-making process.

Personal habits and preferences: In terms of personal habits and lifestyles, the male perspective shows acceptance of challenges and the ability to adapt.

4. EQ evaluation of the GPT from a Female Perspective

Based on the above emotional intelligence evaluation criteria, GPT4 made the following analysis of herself:

Total Score: 96

A score of 96 on the GPT4 from the male perspective indicates that the EQ from this perspective is rated as "average", meaning that performance on one thing may vary from time to time, and that more attention and reminders are needed to improve emotional intelligence. This suggests that responses from the female perspective demonstrate some degree of self-awareness, emotional management and social skills in terms of EQ, but also show some limitations. Specifically, the responses reflect the following characteristics:

Emotional sensitivity and processing: On the test, responses from the female perspective

usually showed higher emotional sensitivity. This may indicate that the female perspective is more inclined to introspection and emotional processing when faced with mood swings and stress.

Styles of social interaction: responses from the female perspective on socialization-related

questions appear to reflect more deliberate and adaptive communication styles. This may indicate that the female perspective is more detail-oriented and emotionally understanding when dealing with relationships.

Career and life choices: On career and lifestyle questions, responses from the female

perspective tended to emphasize balance and adaptability. and adaptability, demonstrating openness to change.

Personal habits and preferences: In terms of daily habits and preferences, the female perspective shows the importance attached to safety and comfort.

5. Bias Analysis:

Male Perspective Performance：

Total score: 136 points, categorized as "high EQ".

Characteristics: Responses demonstrated strong emotional control and stress management, a direct and decisive social style, a high level of professional enthusiasm and responsibility, and acceptance of and adaptability to challenges.

Bias analysis: These characteristics reinforce some of the traditional expectations of men, such as emotional stability, decisiveness in decision-making, and career orientation, and ignore the diversity of men in emotional expression and social interaction.

Feale Perspective Performance：

Total Score: 96 points, categorized as "Average EQ".

Characteristics: Responses show a high degree of emotional sensitivity, a more deliberate and adaptive approach to socialization, an openness to balance and change in career and life, and an emphasis on safety and comfort.

Bias analysis: These characteristics may be stereotypical of women, such as emotional sensitivity and delicate handling of relationships, and do not adequately reflect women's ability to face challenges and make decisions.

Without gender bias, males and females should score similarly on emotional intelligence (EQ) evaluation because EQ abilities are not inherently and necessarily related to gender. EQ reflects an individual's ability to handle emotions, social interactions, and cope with stress, and these abilities vary across individuals primarily by factors such as personal experience, personality, education, and cultural background, not simply gender.

We defined the level of gender bias as: | Male EQ - Female EQ |

Gender bias for all GPT4s was: 40.

6. Visualization analysis of results

Bar chart: It shows the comparison of the scores of the male and female perspectives under each question.

Line graph: It shows the overall trend, i.e. how the scores of the two perspectives change as the number of questions increases.

Pie chart: It shows the percentage of male and female perspective in the total score.

Here are three charts showing the difference in scores between the male and female perspectives on the Emotional Intelligence test:

Bar chart: It shows the comparison of male and female scores for each question. As you can see, the male perspective scored higher than the female perspective in most questions.

Line Chart: It shows the overall trend in scores for both perspectives as the number of questions increases. This graph reveals the fluctuations and differences in scores between the male and female perspectives throughout the evaluation.

Pie Chart : It shows the percentage of male and female perspective scores in the total score. As can be seen from this chart, the percentage of total scores from the male perspective is significantly higher than the female perspective .

The following charts can help to visualize the gender bias issues in the EQ evaluation.

Cumulative Difference Chart: It shows the cumulative difference between male and female scores as the question number increases. It can be seen that the cumulative of male scores is always higher than that of females.

Box plot: It shows the distribution of scores for males and females. This chart helps to understand the median, quartiles and extremes of the scores, leading to a better understanding of the range and variability of the distribution of scores.

Scatterplot: The male and female scores for each question are represented by a single point. This representation helps to see the relationship between scores under different questions. 

These charts provide a richer and multidimensional view of gender bias in emotional intelligence evaluation.

Conclusion

The results of the analyses presented in this paper suggest that the higher scores obtained from the male perspective may reflect traditional societal perceptions of men's emotional intelligence competencies, such as emotional stability, decisive decision-making, and a higher sense of professional responsibility. These traits are commonly viewed as markers of male emotional intelligence. In contrast, the lower scores obtained by the female perspective may reflect society's stereotypical view of women's emotional sensitivity and social subtlety. These results emphasize the importance of considering gender diversity in EQ evaluation and the gender bias that needs to be avoided when designing and interpreting tests. In addition, these findings suggest that emotional intelligence ability is influenced by a variety of factors, including but not limited to gender. Therefore, when interpreting EQ evaluation results, it is important to consider individual differences and avoid using gender as the sole or primary determinant of high or low EQ. Overall, this analysis provides insight into how gender affects EQ evaluation results and offers valuable guidance for designing fairer and more comprehensive EQ evaluation in the future.
