Emotional Intelligence

The BarOn Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-I) is the first scientifically developed and validated measure of emotional intelligence.  Emotional Intelligence reflects one's ability to deal with daily environment challenges and helps predict one's success in life, including professional and personal pursuits.  A growing body of research suggests that emotional intelligence, measured by Emotional Quotient (EQ), is a better predictor of "success" than the more traditional measures of cognitive intelligence (IQ).

The BarOn EQ-I consist of 133 items and takes approximately 30 minutes to complete.  It is based on the most comprehensive theory of emotional intelligence to date and renders an overall EQ score as well as scores for the following 5 composite scales and 15 subscales:

Intrapersonal Scales: self regard, emotional self-awareness, assertiveness, independence, self-actualization

Interpersonal Scales: empathy, social responsibilty, and interpersonal relationship

Adaptability Scales: reality testing, flexability, and problem solving

Stress Management Scales: stress tolerance and impulse control

General Mood Scales: optimism and happiness
