Emotional Intelligence

Emotional Intelligence Assessment is necessary to accurately understand the leadership development needs of yourself and your team. Understanding the strengths and developmental opportunities of your organization’s employees will allow your business to increase overall effectiveness inside and outside the company.

Assessment Overview

We use the Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-i 2.0®), which is the world’s leading measure of emotional intelligence skills. This web-based assessment consists of 133 questions and usually takes between 20-30 minutes to complete.

The purpose of this assessment is to collect information on leadership effectiveness. It is imperative that participants understand that the results of their EQ Assessment are kept entirely confidential and will only be seen by themselves and their EQ coach. We encourage each employee to be as honest and accurate as possible while completing the assessment to ensure they can make the most of this professional development opportunity.

EQ-i 2.0®

The EQ-i 2.0® is a self-report assessment tool that is based on the 15 competencies of the Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-i). Not only does the EQ-i 2.0® score total EQ, but it also scores employees on each of the 15 competencies, highlighting their strengths and potential areas for improvement. This report provides each participant with a sense of how well they are coping with environmental demands and a snapshot of their emotional and social functioning.

EQ 360®

The EQ 360® delves further because it not only contains the self-report assessment of the EQ-i 2.0®, but it also integrates what other people think of the employee. The participant will select raters from the following categories: manager, peers, direct reports, friends & family, and others, and they use the same rating tool, which is why this tool is also referred to as the Multi-Rater Assessment.
