A New Way of Measuring the Key Indicator of Success You’ve probably heard the buzz about emotional intelligence being a scientifically-proven predictor of potential, performance, and professional success. Those who are emotionally intelligent are able to manage their emotions to achieve goals, build relationships, and influence others. On an organizational level, this translates into better decisions, better teams, and better leaders. The EiSA combines a self-assessment with a workbook and workshop to quickly identify emotional intelligence levels and provide a framework for discussion and growth. From new hires to senior managers, this tool can help anyone develop their emotional intelligence and improve their performance. It’s more than a measure of potential and performance; it’s a tool for true personal development. Learning Outcomes After taking the emotional intelligence assessment in combination with the Participant Workbook and Workshop, individuals achieve greater awareness of their ability to manage and perceive emotions, and better understand the effects of their emotions on themselves and others. This knowledge opens the door to increased emotional and social functioning by directing one’s developmental efforts to the areas of greatest opportunity and potential for growth.
Theory and Development The emtional intelligence assessment was developed using a thorough test process to ensure its effectiveness as a tool for personal and professional growth. The EiSA derives its theoretical roots from the vast amount of EI literature and research in the EI and training communities. The EiSA measures and addresses emotional intelligence on 5 key scales: Perceiving The ability to accurately recognize, attend to, and understand emotion. Managing The ability to effectively manage, control, and express emotion. Decision Making The application of emotion to manage change and solve problems. Achieving The ability to generate the necessary emotions to self-motivate in the pursuit of realistic and meaningful objectives. Influencing The ability to recognize, manage, and evoke emotion within oneself and others to promote change. Uses for the Assessment The EiSA can be used as a standalone training instrument, or it can be incorporated into a more comprehensive program on emotional intelligence. The EiSA can be applied as:
How It Works Built on a proven, scientifically verified framework, the EiSA is easy to use and requires no professional certification. First, the Self-Assessment accurately measures emotional intelligence on 5 scales: Perceiving, Managing, Decision Making, Achieving, and Influencing. The accompanying Participant Workbook and Workshop curriculum then enable individuals to become familiar with the concept, learn about themselves, and identify strategies designed to assist them in leveraging their strengths and, where applicable, find opportunities for improvement through development exercises and activities. If you are planning to use the EiSA in a classroom training session, we recommend you allow approximately 1 hour for interpretation of scores, topic discussion, debriefing, and action planning. The EiSA Facilitator Guide includes everything you need to lead a successful training session, from comprehensive background information and activities to reproducible handouts and even a professional PowerPoint presentation. The Facilitator Guide also offers an easy-to-follow workshop outline that expands the EiSA into a 1 – 1.5 day training program.
