Emotional Intelligence Skills Assessment (EISA)

Leadership skills and emotional intelligence go hand in hand. Emotional intelligence helps individuals understand others, leading to better communication and strengthened relationships. Emotional intelligence skills also allow individuals to manage their stress, make informed decisions, and effectively lead others. To have the leadership skills to succeed, emotional intelligence is a must.

Designed for management development, the Emotional Intelligence Skills Assessment (EISA) measures adult emotional intelligence on five scales: perceiving, managing, decision making, achieving, and influencing.

This emotional intelligence assessment can be used as a standalone training resource or as a powerful complement to assist leadership skills development, team building, and communication programs.

Built on a proven, scientifically verified framework, the EISA is easy to use and requires no professional certification. The 50-item self-assessment accurately measures emotional intelligence on five scales:

1. Perceiving
2. Managing
3. Decision making
4. Achieving
5. Influencing

The accompanying workbook and workshop curriculum familiarize individuals with the concept of emotional intelligence. It allows them to learn more about themselves, identify strategies to leverage their strengths, and find opportunities for improvement.

The Facilitator Guide includes everything you need to lead a successful training session, from comprehensive background information and activities to reproducible handouts and a professional PowerPoint presentation.

By the end of this assessment, participants will have the skills to:

• Uncover the major components of emotional intelligence.
• Recognize the behaviors and characteristics of an emotionally intelligent person.
• Identify areas where emotional intelligence skills can be applied.
• Evaluate personal strengths and growth opportunities.
• Generate action steps to improve emotional intelligence and success.

The EISA can be used as a standalone training instrument, or it can be incorporated into a more comprehensive program on emotional intelligence training. The EISA can be applied as:

• An effective component in training programs on related topics such as leadership, communication, and team building.
• An addition to any program that focuses on interpersonal skills.
• A tool for addressing the five emotional intelligence factors.
• A discussion starter for groups about team dynamics.
