Social Intelligence (SI) is the ability to get along well with others, and to get them to cooperate with others. A continued pattern of toxic behavior indicates a low level of social intelligence - the inability to connect with people and influence them effectively. Test anxiety is a combination of physiological over-arousal, tension and somatic symptoms, along with worry, dread and fear of failure that occurs before or during test situations. The study aimed to examine the social intelligence in relation to test anxiety among higher secondary level students. The investigator adopted survey method to study the social intelligence in relation to test anxiety among higher secondary level students. For this study a sample of 300 higher secondary level students from six Govt and Private schools which are situated in and around Tirupur district in Tamil Nadu were selected by the investigator using simple random sampling technique. The findings reveal that there is a significant relationship between social intelligence and test anxiety among higher secondary level students.
