Emotional Intelligence (EIQ) Assessment
The Emotional Intelligence (EIQ) assessment is a comprehensive diagnostic that measures your capacity to recognise, understand, and manage emotions, both your own and those of the people around you. The tool can be used in the context of executive coaching, leadership development and team-building days.
Research consistently shows that emotional intelligence accounts for a significant proportion of leadership effectiveness. By evaluating four interconnected quotients — Self-Recognition, Social Recognition, Self-Management, and Social Management — this tool reveals where you are focusing, where gaps exist, and where intentional development can accelerate your growth as a leader.
This tool offers insights and benefits across your team and organisation:
- For Leaders: Gain clarity on how well you understand your own emotional patterns, how effectively you read and respond to others, and where shifting your focus can elevate both your leadership presence and your impact.
- For Teams: Strengthen team dynamics by surfacing each member's emotional intelligence profile, identifying where strengths can be leveraged, and uncovering the areas where greater self-awareness and empathy will improve collaboration and trust.
- For Team Members: Build deeper self-awareness around how you recognise and manage your emotions, how you connect with colleagues, and how you can make more intentional choices in how you communicate, influence, and navigate complexity.
How the EIQ Assessment Works
The EIQ assessment is a straightforward yet powerful process that provides actionable insights:
- Participants complete an online questionnaire designed to evaluate their emotional intelligence across four key quotients: Self-Recognition, Social Recognition, Self-Management and Social Management.
- Each participant receives a detailed report outlining their EIQ profile, including an overall score, individual quotient scores, and twenty granular sub-category scores that reveal specific strengths, challenges, and areas for focused development.
- Through a facilitated debrief session, individuals are guided to explore their profiles in a reflective, self-discovery conversation, which connects the data to their lived experience and identifies patterns across the four quotients.
- A tailored development plan is built so that the learning can be applied. Practical applications include strengthening self-awareness, improving how you listen and communicate, building greater assertiveness and personal confidence, navigating change with agility, and leading with both head and heart.
