The concept of emotional intelligence has brought new depth to the understanding of human intelligence. Emotional intelligence is a set of emotional and social skills that influence how we perceive, express ourselves, develop relationships, and use emotional information effectively. It  involves understanding oneself and others, relating to people, and adapting to cope with environmental demands. 

One’s emotional intelligence can change over time and can be developed in targeted areas.

Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-i®) and the EQ 360®

Our programs include the latest versions which yield more powerful insights than ever before. They bring you the most advanced and thoroughly researched measure of emotional intelligence in the assessment industry: the EQ-i® 2.0 and EQ 360® 2.0.

The EQ-i 2.0 measures the interaction between a person and the environment they operate in. 

The EQ-i 2.0 consists of 133 brief items using a five-point response scale. It takes approximately 25 to 30 minutes to complete the EQ‑i 2.0, but there are no imposed time limits. The EQ-i 2.0 is suitable for individuals 18 years of age and older. The assessment provides:

• a total EI score,
• five composite scale scores, and
• fifteen subscale scores.

The EQ 360 2.0 (also known as multirater feedback or multisource feedback) measures the same emotional and social skills as the self report (EQ-i 2.0) but from an observer’s perspective. It is a performance evaluation method that provides an individual with the opportunity to receive feedback from his/her co-workers or colleagues (e.g., supervisor, co-workers, peers, direct reports).

Participants nominate who they would like to get feedback from when they complete their self-report. Raters then complete the EQ 360 2.0 online and results are tabulated simultaneously into one comprehensive report for the participant. Note that the EQ-i 2.0 must be completed prior to conducting the EQ 360 2.0 assessment.

Implementing Emotional Intelligence assessments within an organization can provide valuable insights and benefits, including:

• Improved Self-Awareness – employees gain a deeper understanding of their own emotional strengths, weaknesses, and tendencies. This self-awareness empowers them to better manage their emotions and behaviors, leading to more effective communication and decision-making.
• Enhanced Interpersonal Skills – can empower employees to better empathize with and relate to others. This can equip them with the skills needed to build stronger, more productive relationships with colleagues, enhancing team dynamics and fostering a culture of cooperation.
• Effective Leadership Development – can help identify leadership qualities that can be nurtured through targeted training and coaching, cultivating emotionally intelligent management.
• Reduced Workplace Stress – understanding and managing emotions can help employees cope with workplace stressors more effectively. This can lead to improved job satisfaction, reduced turnover, and prevent employee burnout – a growing concern in today’s fast-paced business environment.
• Competitive Advantage – as emotional intelligence becomes increasingly recognized as a critical workplace skill, organizations that invest in EQ assessments and development can gain a competitive edge over their rivals.

Overall, implementing emotional intelligence assessments is a strategic investment that can yield significant benefits for organizations seeking to optimize human capital and foster a positive, high-performing work culture, ultimately driving long-term success.
