Read-the-room level test

Room-reading sprout0-4 pts

Your mood radar is still growing

You say what you feel before you check the mood, and that sometimes catches people off guard. Glance at their faces and tone one more time and you'll grow fast.

Room-reading rookie5-8 pts

You notice things, but handling them is still a bit clumsy

You can tell when the mood is off, but you hesitate because you don't know how to ease it. Practice turning what you sense into one small action and it gets much easier.

Mood detector9-12 pts

Above average: you pick things up when it counts

In most situations you read the mood well and glide through. You only slip when you're busy, so slow down by a beat and look again.

Room-reading pro13-16 pts

You pick up on feelings without a word

You read even the gaps between words, so people feel at ease around you. Check in on yourself too, so you don't wear out looking after everyone else.

Room-reading master17-20 pts

You read the mood first, then steer the room

You notice shifts in the air before anyone else and steer everyone toward what feels comfortable. You don't have to act on everything you pick up.
