What is the EQMap? An Emotional Intelligence Test or Assessment

EQ is shorthand for the term “Emotional Quotient”. The EQ Map® is an extensively researched, norm-tested, and statistically reliable emotional intelligence assessment instrument used to measure and map your strengths and vulnerabilities. It is divided into 5 parts made up of 20 scales measuring emotional intelligence and the effect it has on your life, both personally and professionally.  Now available as an online assessment or hard copy.

The EQ Map® package comes with a Questionnaire, Scoring Grid and Interpretation Guide.

The EQ Map® has been used internationally by companies including for example, Deloitte & Touche, Stanford University, Intel Corporation and VISA, and in Australia by corporations including the ABC, Sydney Water, the Attorney General’s Department, Macquarie Area Health Service and Mount Eliza Business School.

How is Emotional Intelligence measured?

The EQ Map® measures:

• Current Environment: pressures and satisfactions at home and at work.
• Awareness: awareness of your emotions and others’ emotions and your ability to articulate or address them successfully.
• Competencies: skills and behaviour patterns you have developed to respond to people, events and circumstances in your life.
• Values & Attitudes: your beliefs and your values – the extent to which you act consistently with what you say and in accordance with what is most important in your life and work.
• Outcomes: the impact that emotional intelligence is having on the quality of your professional and personal life.

Your completed EQMap® is a snapshot of your current Emotional Intelligence profile. It provides you with an integrated assessment that captures the essence of your current life circumstances and then pinpoints emotional intelligence strengths and vulnerabilities.

EIDA offers Customised Emotional Intelligence training Workshops and Executive Coaching using the EQMap®.
