Emotional intelligence (EQ), broadly speaking, is concerned with understanding oneself and others, relating to people, and adapting to and coping with one's immediate surroundings.

Being smart (traditional IQ) isn't enough. One must learn how to appropriately manage the social and emotional demands life places on you. Reuven Bar-On, PhD has created a reliable and valid measure for responses to these demands. His research revealed that "non-cognitive" factors are better predictors of success and satisfaction in life. Failure to adapt socially and emotionally to surroundings is a leading cause of career derailment.

It is the first fully validated and globally normed measure of 15 factors of EQ, which include: intrapersonal, interpersonal, adaptability, stress management, and general mood. The assessment demonstrates excellent internal consistency and test-retest consistency. Validity studies have shown the BarOn EQ-i® to possess factor analytic criterion and solid predictive validity.
