Instrument Overview
The EQ-i™ is a pioneering self-report tool that assesses emotionally and socially intelligent behavior, offering an estimate of emotional-social intelligence. As the first measure of its kind to be published by a psychological test publisher, peer-reviewed in the Buros Mental Measurement Yearbook, and the most widely used since its debut in 1996, the EQ-i™ stands as a leading measure in its field. The tool, detailed in the 1997 Bar-On EQ-i™ Technical Manual and extensively referenced in the literature, consists of 133 items using a 5-point response scale. Designed for individuals aged 17 and older, the EQ-i™ is easily readable at a sixth-grade level and takes about 30 minutes to complete.
