MHS defines Emotional Intelligence as “a set of emotional and social skills that influence the way we perceive and express ourselves, develop and maintain social relationships, cope with challenges and use emotional information in an effective and meaningful way.” [source: MHS.com]
The EQ-i is the first scientifically validated Emotional Intelligence (EI) tool in the world. It is highly effective in the training and development of your current employees and leaders and can also critically aid with the selection of highly qualified future leaders for your organization.
The EQ-i 2.0® Assessment
Studies have shown Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-i 2.0) can be a verifiable reflection of one’s overall well-being and ability to succeed in life. Unlike Intelligence Quotient (IQ), which is a relatively static measurement in adulthood, Emotional Intelligence can be developed and changed over time. Evaluating and then working to develop an individual’s EQ-i can dramatically improve their interaction with others, performance at work and leadership potential.
The EQ-i 2.0 measures emotional intelligence across five composite areas: Self-Perception, Self-Expression, Interpersonal, Decision Making, and Stress Management. These are further divided into 15 individual subscales, providing a detailed picture of emotional and social functioning.
Although other factors contribute to a person’s overall potential and performance, the level of someone’s EQ-i is a key indicator of what they will be able to offer. EQ-i 2.0 is a highly effective employee development tool because it not only identifies development potential and pitfalls but also provides targeted strategies needed to make improvements. It can be useful for companies in the recruitment and retention of successful, emotionally healthy employees as well.

The EQ 360® Assessment
A client’s social and emotional functioning are identified by his or her own responses in the EQ-i 2.0, but the EQ 360 assessment gives a more complete, comprehensive analysis by also utilizing information anonymously provided by others who know the client. Clear alignment with EQ-i 2.0 makes the results easy to understand and interpret. The reports are structured in a very clear and linear manner that is easy to reference and follow and includes not only the feedback of all the raters but also the participant’s feedback consolidated into one report. Feedback from others allows participants to compare their own self-perception with how colleagues and others experience their behavior, helping reveal both areas of agreement and potential blind spots.
There is also an EQ 360 Leadership assessment available to provide the most comprehensive look into an individual’s level of emotional intelligence, providing insight into their leadership abilities and how others view them in leadership roles.
