Make sure you measure the right thing for the right reason
Hi Ailsa
Have you established what is the purpose in “measuring” their emotional intelligence? If it is to show them that they are emotionally thick and need to be more emotionally intelligent, is that an emotionally intelligent way of training them to be emotionally intelligent?
I expect your purpose is more to show that each of them has areas where they exhibit emotional intelligence and encourage them to develop those other areas where they are weaker, which sounds good.
I was recently asked to complete an EQ questionnaire. It was called “TEIQue-SF”, you may be able to find it on the web.
A good way of covering this would actually be to deliver a typing tool such as MBTI or Insights Discovery and use that to discuss how EQ comes into it. Try http://www.insights.com or email me for more details.

Resource material
Have previously used exercises from a book to greta success built a whole day of Leadership Development around some of the concepts-however the name of which completely fails me at the moment – pregnancy amnesia!!! But it was the EQ something by a lady called Linda ???
hope this helps, but if not good luck
EQ Questionnaire
Ailsa
There is a mixed bag of psuedo-psychometric instruments available.
You don’t mention if you are accredited to a BPS standard. If you are then it may be worth getting trained in Hay’s Emotional Competence Inventory.
If you want something straightforward you might try Emotional Smarts from http://www.mlruk.com
I should stress that it is not a good idea to use instruments like this on their own – it is important to have the knowledge and expertise to help the group learn from it and to be able to properly address any individual issues.
Hope this helps

Attitudinal-based EI questionnaire
Hi Ailsa
If you are intending to become accredited in an EI tool, please also take a look at the Individual Effectiveness questionnaire (or ‘ie’ for short). This is an attitudinal based, self assessment questionnaire which goes deeper than other questionnaires. As a client of mine (senior l&d manager of a financial organisation) once said “it reaches the parts other questionnaires don’t reach!”
Please go to http://www.emotionalintelligence.co.uk, and also http://www.ie-te.co.uk. To become accredited you can either undertake the 3-day standard accreditation provided by the publishers, JCA (Occupational Psychologists) Ltd, or through the unique 9 month practitioner programme offered by the Centre for Applied Emotional Intelligence (CAEI).
Here’s a link to an article I’ve written about how the attitudinal approach to EI is vital in leadership development. http://www.emotionalintelligence.co.uk/ezine/issue02.html
You can subscribe to the CAEI’s free ezine that this article was published in by going to http://www.emotionalintelligence.co.uk.
If you would like to discuss which of these two options would be best for you, or how these compare with other questionnaires, please do email me with your telephone number and I’ll give you a ring.
Best wishes

EQ what do you do with it?
Think we have a catch 22 here!
I often wonder what trainers and others do with such questionnaires. Do they set out to change individuals or is it just an awareness programme?
Very concerned if we are setting out to change our staff, perhaps against their conscious will. And think awareness programmes are a waste of money if you cannot do something with the information given.

Results are turned around within 24 hours and the reports are easy to understand and work with in a practical way as part of the coaching process.
