Emotional Intelligence
Emotional Intelligence (EI) is being touted as a true predictor of success. Individuals who have a higher emotional intelligent quotient are better students, workers, managers, and leaders. Research has started to assist corporations and leaders from all different fields to understand their EI score to support more effective leadership development.
Emotional Intelligence is not something you are simply born with and destined to remain at any given point. It is something that can be tested and through hard work and effective coaching can be improved upon.

Types of Reports Available
Business Report
The EQ-i Business Report is a new report for human capital development in organizational settings. Robust in its content, the Business Report contains business-specific strategies and action plans that are more compatible and meaningful in the workplace. Content on all 15 EQ-i subscales allows you to work with the respondent to focus on emotional and social skills that are consistent with job performance metrics. Separate sections containing results, development strategies, and action planning exercises make feedback sessions more streamlined.
Leadership Report
This report helps you identify and groom the best leaders. It can be used to help with leadership assessment, leadership placement, training of leadership skills, and understanding potential derailers. Results on the 15 EQ-i subscales reveal the respondents’ strengths and weaknesses inpeople-, process-, and organization-oriented leadership styles, and on four pillars of leadership behavior. Leadership Reports are available online; however, you can administer the EQ-i with paper materials and then fax in your response sheets for scoring. You then log into our secure website to score and download the results.
Individual Summary Report
This report option provides the overall EQ score, scores for each of the 15 areas measured, and scores for the validity indices. This report is best for users with in-depth knowledge of the EQ-i, or when used as the basis for creating customized feedback reports and coaching. It is not recommended for the client.
Development Report
Ideal for counseling and life coaching, results in this report are presented numerically and using “below average,” “average” and “above average” terminology. As in the Resource Report, guidelines for improving three of the client’s weakest areas help facilitate growth.
