Emotional Intelligence – Bar-On-EQ-i
A growing body of research suggests that emotional intelligence is a key determinant of success in life. Based on over 20 years of research worldwide, the BarOn EQ-i inventory examines an individual’s emotional and social strengths and weaknesses. Whether you are looking to measure and develop critical job and leadership skills or build an outstanding corporate organization, the BarOn EQ-i can help.
Emotional Intelligence (EI) has proven itself to be an excellent indicator of individual and group success in corporate environments. The BarOn EQ-i not only assesses emotional intelligence in individuals and groups, but also identifies specific strengths, weaknesses, and other strategies for improvement.
The inventory consists of 133 statements that cover a wide range of emotional and social functioning. On a 5-point scale, individuals rate how true each statement is of them. Along with scores for four validity indices, scores are provided for the following areas of emotional intelligence:
- Intrapersonal
- Interpersonal
- Stress Management
- Adaptability
- General Mood.
Once the areas that need improvement have been identified, the client can immediately begin exploring and developing those areas. On-line learning modules are available. At the same time, areas where the client excels can be used to his or her full potential to maximize effectiveness in daily tasks.
A number of different reports are available for the BarOn EQ-i inventory to help interpret scores and communicate results to clients.
The Individual Summary Report provides, in a 4-page graphical format, the overall EQ score, scores for each of the 15 areas measured, and scores for the validity indices.
The Development Report includes information available in the Individual Summary Report, as well as an in-depth explanation of the meaning of each score, descriptions of individual strengths and weaknesses, and guidelines for improving a client’s weaker areas.
The Resource Report, available in colour (scoring service only) or black and white, presents EQ-i® scores in a graphical format conducive to development, coaching, and counseling. Intended to be shared with the client, this report omits numerical scores in the graphical portion and use’s terminology such as Area for Enrichment, Effective Functioning, and Enhanced Skills.
A separate Counselor’s Section is available for both the Development and Resource Reports. This section contains all numerical scores, validity information, and other valuable insight into EQ-i scores.
The Group Report provides a 30-page anonymous summary of emotional intelligence results for a group of clients. This report is ideal for measuring the functioning of a team as a single unit.
The Comparative Reports capture one of the most compelling features of emotional intelligence: it can be developed and improved over time. These reports help maximize the valuable information gained from EQ-i administrations by comparing scores over time or between groups.
The Individual Across Administrations Report compares two to four of a client’s EQ-I administrations to pinpoint areas that are improving and those that require further enrichment.
The Individual to Group Report compares an individual’s results to those of a group to which he or she belongs so you can investigate whether differences are benefiting or impeding teamwork.
The Group to Group Report allows you to compare the scores of two groups. For example, if you are assessing the staff members in an organization, you may want to compare the results of one department to the entire organization.
The Group Across Administrations Report compares the results of two to four administrations for a group. Use this report to assess improvements of a group over time. It’s a great tool for evaluating the effectiveness of intervention efforts and training programs.
