The EQ-i is an emotional intelligence assessment tool that helps individuals identify, understand and manage their own emotions and those of others.
Emotional Intelligence (EI) serves as a key framework for self-awareness, self-regulation, and the understanding and management of interpersonal relationships. Consequently, Emotional Intelligence explains why some individuals with a higher IQ may not be as successful in management as those with an average IQ, since EI measures the ability to cope with daily pressures and demands, and can be developed throughout life.
"A set of emotional and social skills that determine how we understand and express ourselves, develop and maintain social relationships, cope with challenges, and use emotional information effectively and efficiently."
It is a predictor of success in life and at work, with a significant impact on the workplace and numerous applications in areas such as Recruitment, Coaching, Succession Planning, Development and Conflict Resolution.
The EQ-i 2.0 measures the interaction between the individual and the environment in which they operate. Measuring and evaluating individual emotional intelligence helps identify potential areas for development, as well as the best steps to take. Typically, this leads to impressive improvements in performance, interactions with others, and leadership potential. The EQ-i 2.0 identifies these development areas and provides tailored strategies based on individual results, making it a highly effective development tool.
Much like the EQ-i 2.0, the EQ360 measures areas of the Emotional Quotient, but it also takes into account the perceptions of the people around you, combining self-perception with the perceptions of others who know you well. The EQ360 offers several advantages both for organisations, as it provides employees with feedback on how they can increase their effectiveness, and for individuals, because it allows them to identify "blind spots" and focus their development where it will truly have the greatest impact.
