MHS has been publishing the very best in psychological assessments for over 20 years. With offices and strategic alliances in North America and Europe, and partners around the world, MHS’ assessments are available globally. MHS’ assessments and services are used in clinical, educational, forensic, pharmaceutical, corporate, and research settings around the world.

Since 1983, MHS has been providing the psychological community with leading assessment products in the areas of clinical, education, public safety and emotional intelligence, including the BarOn Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-i).

Emotional Intelligence reflects how a person interacts with and applies his or her knowledge to the immediate situation. Broadly speaking, emotional intelligence addresses the emotional, personal, social, and survival dimensions of intelligence.

It is concerned with understanding oneself and others, relating to people, and adapting to and coping with the immediate surroundings to be more successful in dealing with environmental demands.

The BarOn EQ-i® comprises 133 brief items and employs a five-point Likert-type response set ranging from (1) “Very Seldom or Not True of Me” to (5) “Very Often True of Me or True of Me”. It takes approximately 30-40 minutes to complete.

The BarON EQ-i® is very versatile in business environments in which the 4 validity indices and a sophisticated correction factor, the BarOn EQ-i® renders scores for the following scales and subscales:

Because of its brevity and the multifaceted information that it supplies, the EQ-i can be used by employers as a screening tool in hiring to select emotionally intelligent, emotionally healthy and potentially successful personnel. Supplemented by other sources of information, such as interviews and the results of other assessments, the EQ-i can make the employee recruitment and selection process more reliable and more efficient.

A variation on standard EQ-i® tool, the EQ-360® provides a more rounded view of an individual’s emotional and social skills by gathering additional evaluations from those who work closely with him/ her. The EQ-360 is ideal for use in organisations where developing effective communication between individuals, teams, and the entire organisation is crucial to success. While an effective tool to use in a variety of contexts, it has particular relevance for leadership coaching and development. Leaders and their coaches gain a more comprehensive picture of areas for improvement. The EQ-360 identifies key employee strengths that can be leveraged to the benefit of the organisation, as well as impediments to high performance that could be improved.
