Less than 32 | You need to work on growing your Emotional Intelligence, urgently! As you go through this course, you will learn why developing a high emotional quotient (EQ) is vital for your personal and professional success, and how to do so. |
Between 33 and 50 | You possess average Emotional Intelligence, which is fine as things go. However, as you go through this course you will learn why those individuals with a high emotional quotient (EQ) grow faster and more than those with an average EQ.
You would do well to further your emotional intelligence. |
Between 51 and 64 |
Wow! You possess a high emotional quotient (EQ). Now, while we do not doubt you at all, why don’t you try and validate your scores by asking close colleagues or loved ones to rate you on the same parameters. There might be some valuable insights that you might gain from that exercise. Hey, feedback never did hurt anyone high in Emotional Intelligence, now did it. |
This part of the tool is intended to help you identify the specific area or competence within the EI framework that you might need to focus upon. You will learn more about each competence, including how you can develop them, as you go through the course.
