EQ-i Emotional Quotient Inventory

The Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-i®) is the first scientifically validated and most widely used Emotional Intelligence assessment in the world. Based on more than 20 years of research worldwide, the EQ-i examines an individual's social and emotional strengths and weaknesses.

Respondents self-report on their life and workplace performance in 15 key areas of emotional skill that have been proven to contribute to proficiency in complex business activities such as conflict resolution and planning. By identifying the areas that need improvement, the respondent can immediately begin developing those areas. At the same time, areas where the respondent excels can be leveraged to their full potential to maximize effectiveness in daily tasks.

EQ-360 Emotional Quotient - 360

While the EQ-i® identifies the level of a client’s emotional and social functioning based on his or her responses, the EQ-360® assessment provides a more in-depth analysis by having those who work closely with the client provide information as well. When observer ratings are compared with the results of a standard EQ-i self-report, a more complete 360-degree profile emerges.

The EQ-360 is ideal for use in organizations where developing effective communication between individuals, teams, and the entire organization is crucial to success. The EQ-360 identifies key employee strengths that can be leveraged to the benefit of the organization, as well as impediments to high performance that could be improved. The assessment process can also be used as a follow-up to formal coaching and to measure progress.

MSCEIT Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test

The Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT™) evaluates Emotional Intelligence through a series of objective and impersonal questions. It tests the respondent's ability to perceive, use, understand, and regulate emotions. Based on scenarios typical of everyday life, the MSCEIT measures how well people perform tasks and solve emotional problems, rather than having them provide their own subjective assessment of their emotional skills.

The MSCEIT test uses a variety of interesting and creative tasks to measure a person's capacity for reasoning with emotional information by directly testing their ability. This ability-based model makes the MSCEIT test ideal for situations where respondents may want to create a positive impression or 'fake good'. The MSCEIT is suitable for all manner of corporate, educational, research, and therapeutic settings.

The DiSC
The DiSC Dimensions of Behavior model describes behavioral patterns in terms of four tendencies. All people have all four behavioral tendencies, but in differing intensities. The relationship of the four tendencies to each other creates a profile pattern which provides information about a person’s potential behavioral responses.

Our increasingly diverse society is reflected in growing workforce diversity. Leading organizations acknowledge that working successfully with others who don't share the same background, beliefs, or traditions is a top priority in today's workplace. Employees need help in assessing their behavior toward people who are different from themselves. And they must understand the benefits of changing negative attitudes and resistance into appreciation and cooperation.

DiSC Classic is used to improve performance, deal more effectively with conflict, and value differences. Using the research-based DiSC model – a simple four-factor cognitive map for understanding human behavior -- DiSC Classic helps you better understand why you act the way you do.
