Emotional Intelligence: the EQ-i 2.0 & EQ360

Emotional Intelligence (EI) is a set of emotional and social skills that collectively establish how we perceive and express ourselves, and use emotional information in an effective and meaningful way. Understanding and developing Emotional Intelligence is crucial for career success. Download our Beginner’s Guide to Emotional Intelligence for more information.

As the first UK trainer and distributor of Multi-Health Systems’ EQ-i 2 Emotional Intelligence assessment, our highly trained psychologists have extensive knowledge and expertise in the area, offering rigorous, BPS-accredited training as well as ongoing support post completion of the course.

In order to administer the tools, you must first attend a two day certification course, either in-person or via Zoom. You can learn more about our workshops here.

Based on the original model authored by Dr. Reuven Bar-On, the EQ-i 2.0® model is the leading measure of emotional intelligence. Used primarily for coaching and development, the tool helps to determine and address an individual’s personal development needs.

Emotional intelligence is proven to be a key indicator of human performance and development. The EQ-i 2.0® model address five composite areas with fifteen subscales, covering areas such as Empathy, Stress Tolerance, Emotional Self-Awareness and Emotional Expression.

Built on the framework of the EQ-i 2.0®, the EQ360® provides a multi-rater perspective: an individual’s ratings are compared to those of their peers, supervisors, friends and family to increase self-awareness by evaluating observer ratings of our emotional functioning against our self-impressions.

EQ360® reports provide in-depth analyses of rater opinions, providing valuable insight and opportunities for development. Both the Workplace and Leadership EQ360® Reports can be used to address developmental issues highlighted when raters’ opinions and self-assessments conflict.
