WHAT IS EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE?
Emotional intelligence (EI) is a set of emotional and social skills that influence the way we perceive and express ourselves, develop and maintain social relationships, cope with and overcome challenges, and use emotional information in an effective and meaningful way at home, at work, and everywhere in between.
WHY IS EI IMPORTANT?
EI is a leading predictor of human performance and development potential, it is scientifically proven to be a key indicator in these areas. Emotional intelligence is not a static factor – to the contrary, our EI changes over time and can be developed in targeted areas.
EI AS A SCIENTIFIC APPROACH TO TALENT DEVELOPMENT
For over 20 years, consultants and organizations have trusted the science that underpins the EQ-i 2.0® (and its predecessor the EQ-i 1.0®) to help improve human performance.
The EQ-i 2.0® is a Level B psychometric instrument which measures emotional intelligence and how it can impact people at home and in their 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.
Enterprise, leader, team & individual emotional intelligence professional services include:
In addition to providing a EI score, five composite scale scores, and fifteen subscale scores which hone in on EI skills critical to workplace success, this report features a Well-Being Indicator that measures overall level of happiness; resulting in a more holistic approach to create profound life and workplace experiences.
This report links EI with leadership development, by providing a leader with a snapshot of how their EI compares to that of other leaders and insight into leadership strengths and potential areas for development.
People higher in EI communicate more effectively, form stronger relationships at home and at work, and create powerful coping strategies everywhere. EI can be measured – more accessibly and less controversially than IQ – and unlike IQ, it can be substantially strengthened and developed.
This report features:
The leadership report has many unique features linking EI and leadership development. These features provide you with a snapshot of how your EI compares to that of other leaders* and insight into your leadership strengths and potential areas for development.
This report examines your results on the EQ-i 2.0 through four key dimensions of leadership:
AUTHENTICITY - An authentic leader serves as a role model for moral and fair behavior. A transparent approach commands esteem and confidence from employees.
COACHING - A leader who coaches effectively is seen as a mentor who supports employee growth. Employees are nurtured towards achieving their highest levels of performance.
INSIGHT - A leader provides insight by sharing a purpose and hopeful vision for colleagues to follow. Employees are compelled and inspired to exceed goals.
INNOVATION - An innovative leader focuses on taking risks, spurring colleagues’ ingenuity and autonomous thought. Knowledge is valued and challenges are viewed as learning opportunities.
These leadership dimensions were identified from research conducted on 220 leaders who completed this same assessment (the EQ-i 2.0®) and who also responded to a leadership assessment measuring performance across these four areas of leadership.
*These leaders held positions of mid-level management through to C-suite leadership roles and were from a variety of industries (e.g., healthcare, technology, financial services, and construction) across North America. The majority of leaders were working in large organizations (over 400 employees).
Whether from a workplace perspective, or a more personal family orientation, it is important to be cognizant of the impact of one’s actions on colleagues, friends, and family members.
The EQ 360º Work/Lifestyle report offers an in-depth analysis by
having those who work, live, or interact with an individual and know them personally provide feedback, in addition their self- assessment, to provide a 360 degree view of their effectiveness and EQ competencies.
This report can be used for results specific to a workplace context, enabling career and organizational development. This report can also be used in a family context to provide insight into personal relationships and dynamics by identifying blind spots, strengths, and developmental opportunities at home, and at work.
When looking at a potential, new, or existing leader within an organization, it is not only important to gain an understanding of their performance in the workplace; but also for them to gain insights into their performance as a leader by peers, direct reports and supervisors.
Similar to the Work/Lifestyle EQ 360º Report, the Leadership EQ 360º Report allows for an unlimited number of raters to provide feedback and provides insights into opportunities for development.
All EQ 360º reports include a Profile Gap Analysis. This innovative interpretation tool identifies blind spots, allied strengths, and developmental opportunities.

Regardless of whether a team works harmoniously with great collaboration and cohesion, or finds itself with conflicting opinions and strategies that can affect the balance of a group, this report can be used when looking for deeper insights into a group’s strengths as well as areas where the
group can be more effective.
Findings at an organizational level can be examined and strategies for action can further develop the group’s potential.
The EQ-i 2.0® Group Report combines the scores of individuals who take the assessment in a manner that enables interpretation at a group or team level.
Implications and strategies are specifically focused on the effects that group EI scores have on either a group’s immediate work environment or on the organization as a whole.
