Book Description

Publication Date: January 2003

The Emotional Intelligence Appraisal is a test that measures your emotional intelligence (EQ) using Daniel Goleman's benchmark model. It's easy to use and score, and it shows you how to improve your EQ with practical strategies based upon your unique profile.

Emotional intelligence is the ability to manage emotions and relationships. It is critical to success in work and personal life. In fact, studies show that EQ predicts job performance 2 to 1 over intelligence and job experience.

Use the Emotional Intelligence Appraisal to measure your EQ in the four critical skills from Daniel Goleman's model. The test measures Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, and Relationship Management. The test is ideal for personal use, or for training in the workplace. The Emotional Intelligence Appraisal is used by Fortune 500 corporations worldwide in training and leadership development programs.

5.0 out of 5 stars EQ Appraisal is Awesome!, September 12, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Emotional Intelligence Appraisal - Me Edition (Paperback)

Finally there is an EQ Assessment tool that actually lives up to its promise. I used the "Me" edition and found the reporting to be right on target. In the past I have taken assessments that were a waste of time - Drs. Bradberry and Greaves deserve a lot of praise for their breakthrough EQ product as I now have new insights and a refreshing perspective on how to leverage my emotional intelligence. I am also having each member of my team take the Emotional Intelligence Appraisal and attend a EQ training workshop put on by the authors. I highly recommend this product and plan to be a long-term customer.

This review is from: Emotional Intelligence Appraisal - Me Edition (Paperback)

If you haven't taken this test by now, you are missing out! This booklet tells us how most of us are not really grasping what is truly important in life. Daniel Goleman says that emotional intelligence is a lot more important than if you can do math, spell correctly, fix a lawnmower, or build a spaceship. The authors of The Emotional Intelligence Appraisal explained to me how this type of intelligence is so underemphasized in our society and it taught me where I need to improve in my own life.

We live in a world where people can build weapons of mass destruction but can not keep a marriage together. I loved this book.
