Emotional Intelligence Assessment

Self-Awareness, Self-Regulation, Motivation, Empathy and Social Skills

Built on the Salovey-Mayer emotional intelligence framework, this assessment measures the five domains research consistently links to leadership effectiveness, team climate and conflict management — arguably more predictive of on-the-job success than IQ alone in people-facing roles.

Why

Why this matters

!
Poor emotional regulation in leadership roles is a leading cause of team attrition — people don't quit companies, they quit managers. Salovey & Mayer's (1990) original emotional intelligence model, later refined into their four-branch ability framework (Mayer, Salovey & Caruso, 2004), established Self-Awareness and Self-Regulation as specifically trainable competencies that predict leadership 360 ratings independent of general cognitive ability.
Ideal For
Leadership assessment, coaching engagements, and any role where managing relationships and emotional regulation under pressure drives performance.

Using results responsibly. Assessment results describe tendencies and preferences at the time of testing; they are one input to a decision, not a verdict. Use them alongside a structured interview, work samples and references, tell candidates how their results will be used, and avoid treating any single score as a pass or fail line unless it has been validated for that purpose in your own setting.

Frequently asked questions

Can EQ actually be measured reliably?
Self-report EQ measures have decades of validation evidence linking scores to leadership ratings, team performance and conflict outcomes, though they measure typical behaviour rather than maximal ability — pairing with the Manager 360° Companion strengthens this further.
Is this the same as the EQ-i?
No — this is an independent, open-domain implementation of the Salovey-Mayer model, avoiding proprietary licensing while maintaining the same theoretical grounding.
