We all have an emotional style

The Emotional Styles Quiz is a neuroscience-based self-assessment that reveals how your brain handles emotion, especially in stressful times.

Developed by Dr. Pelin Kesebir and Dr. Richard Davidson along with their team at Humin, formerly Healthy Minds Innovations, and the Center for Healthy Minds, the quiz is grounded in decades of research in brain science. You can read more about the core framework in this peer-reviewed paper, which identifies six dimensions of emotional style that influence how we think, feel, and relate to others.

The quiz is 24 questions, four questions for each of the six dimensions. The results offer insight into your emotional strengths and growth areas — and more importantly, a reminder that well-being is not a fixed trait, but a set of skills you can train. In a world that demands resilience, connection, and clarity, understanding your emotional style is a powerful step toward living with intention.
