Emotional Intelligence
Emotional intelligence (EI) is the unique repertoire of emotional skills that a person uses to navigate the everyday challenges of life. Research has demonstrated that an individual's EI or (EQ) is often a more accurate predictor of success than the individual's IQ. No matter how intellectually intelligent someone is, their success is still governed by how well they communicate their ideas and interact with their peers.
Considering an Emotional Intelligence Assessment for your organization, company, or practice?
Questions you should ask:
Is the assessment a Level B instrument and is it scientifically validated? Level B means that the assessment has been constructed to a robust psychometric standard. Most EI assessments in the marketplace today are not Level B. Non Level B EI assessments may still provide some value but they are not backed the science, reliability, and validity of a Level B. The EQ-i is the worlds first scientifically validated assessment of emotional intelligence. One option to investigate the assessment you are considering is The Mental Measurement Yearbook, from the Buros Institute. The Buros Insitute reviews psychological assessment tools. It is a highly respected publication in the assessment industry. To ensure that you are using a well normed, well validated, and reliable assessment go to their website (http://buros.unl.edu/buros/jsp/search.jsp ) to see if the emotional intelligence assessment you are considering is listed. For the EQ-i search Emotional Quotient Inventory. What does it take to make their list? More Information Buros Institute
Is the assessment reliable? The EQ-i has been proven as a reliable assessment of emotional intelligence ( it measures what is says it measures) Based on results from numerous statistical analyses, users of the EQ-i 2.0 can be confident that the scores generated by this assessment will be consistent and reliable. The EQ-i is recognized by the American Psychological Association as a reliable assessment of emotional intelligence and considered a Level B Instrument that requires it's users to be certified.
Is there a technical manual that describes the assessment development and validation methods? The EQ-i has a comprehensive technical manual that gives the Certified practitioner access to extensive data on the research, testing, validation, and reliability.
Initially based on the 20 years of research by Dr. Reuven Bar-On and completed by over 1 million people worldwide, the EQi速 report is the premier measure of self-report social emotional intelligence. The EQi速 and EQ-360速 assessments measure one's self-reported potential to deal with daily environmental demands and pressures, and helps predict one's success in both professional and personal pursuits.
2. Why is EI
Important?
Emotional Intelligence is proven to be a key indicator of
human performance and development. People higher in
EI communicate effectively, form strong relationships, and
create powerful coping strategies. EI can be measured
more accessibly and less controversially than IQ and unlike
IQ, it can be substantially strengthened and developed.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE EQ-i 2.0速
For almost 20 years, consultants and organizations have
trusted the science that underpins the EQ-i 2.0速 (and

performance. The EQ-i 2.0 is a psychometric assessment
which measures emotional intelligence and how it can
impact people and the workplace. Being the first
scientifically validated measure of EI, coupled with
research from premier organizations, means you can
count on the EQ-i 2.0 to add robustness and accuracy
to your talent management initiatives.
