The tools

At EQ-People, we utilize a range of scientifically validated tools to support personal and organizational development. Here’s an overview of the key assessments we employ:

EQ-i 2.0 and EQ 360

These tools assess emotional intelligence by measuring an individual’s social and emotional strengths and areas for development. The EQ-i 2.0 is a self-report assessment, while the EQ 360 provides a comprehensive view by incorporating feedback from peers, managers, and direct reports. Both are instrumental in enhancing leadership capabilities and interpersonal effectiveness. https://storefront.mhs.com/collections/eq-360

Big Five Personality Test

This assessment evaluates personality traits across five dimensions: Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. Understanding these traits helps individuals gain insights into their behaviors and preferences, facilitating personal growth and improved team dynamics.  https://www.truity.com/test/big-five-personality-test

Cognitive Tests (IQ)

We employ various cognitive assessments to measure intellectual abilities, including memory, problem-solving skills, and processing speed. These tests provide valuable information for identifying cognitive strengths and areas that may benefit from development.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wechsler_Adult_Intelligence_Scale

Hardiness Resilience Gauge (HRG)

The HRG assesses an individual’s resilience by focusing on three key qualities: Challenge, Control, and Commitment. It offers insights into how effectively a person copes with stress and adapts to change, which is crucial for personal well-being and professional performance. https://www.forbes.com/councils/forbescoachescouncil/2023/02/14/how-the-hardiness-resilience-gauge-can-help-you-successfully-navigate-uncertainty/
