EQ Assessment · Goleman Model
Measure your emotional intelligence using Daniel Goleman's scientific model
Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is the ability to recognize, understand, and manage your emotions, as well as understand the emotions of others. Research shows that EQ is more important than IQ for success in life, career, and relationships. People with high EQ cope better with stress, build strong relationships, and achieve their goals.
Daniel Goleman's research showed that EQ accounts for 58% of success at work. People with high EQ earn an average of $29,000 more per year. 90% of top managers have high EQ. Unlike IQ, emotional intelligence can be developed throughout your life.
