Based on 19 years of research by Dr. Reuven Bar-On and tested on over 120.000 individuals worldwide, the BarOn EQ-i™ is the first scientifically developed and validated measure of emotional intelligence. It measures one's ability to deal with daily environmental demands and pressures. A growing body of research suggests that emotional intelligence is a key determinant of success in life.


The BarOn EQ-i™ consists of 133 items and includes four validity indices and a sophisticated correction factor rendering scores for the following components:

• Emotional Self Awareness
• Assertiveness
• Self-Regard
• Self-Actualization
• Independence
• Empathy
• Interpersonal Relationship
• Social Responsibility
• Problem Solving
• Flexibility
• Reality Testing
• Stress Tolerance
• Impulse Control
• Optimism
• Happiness

 
The BarOn EQ-i™ can be employed in many ways and in a variety of settings. It is appropriate in clinical, educational, forensic, medical, corporate, human resources, and research settings. In psychodiagnostics, it can assess a client's general degree of emotional intelligence, potential for emotional health, and present psychological well-being. It can be applied to map out areas that need further exploration in the assessment process as well as to help determine the overall need for therapy, establish clear therapeutic goals, decide on when to terminate therapy, evaluate the successfulness of psychological intervention, and the potential for success for those being considered for substance abuse rehabilitation.


Four reports are available to suit your needs:

• The Individual Summary Report provides, in a four-page graphical format, the overall EQ score, scores for each of the 5 composite scales and the 15 subscales, and validity indicator results.
• The Development Report includes the information available in the Individual Summary as well as an in-depth explanation of the meaning of the scores, individual strengths and weaknesses, and actions to improve emotional intelligence.
• The Group Report is a listing/report that provides an anonymous summary of emotional intelligence results for a group of respondents.
