Emotional Intelligence
The EQ-i 2.0 is the world's only scientifically validated diagnostic tool for the measurement of emotional intelligence.
What is Emotional Intelligence?
Emotional Intelligence is a term that was first coined in the early nineties by researchers John Mayer and Peter Salovey. It was later developed by psychologist Daniel Goleman in his 1996 book, "Emotional Intelligence: Why it can matter more than IQ". in which he redefines what it means to be intelligent.
Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is defined as the ability to identify, assess, and control one’s own emotions, the emotions of others, and that of groups.

Why is Emotional Intelligence important?
In the book, Goleman lays out five components of Emotional Intelligence:
- Self-awareness: When we’re self-aware, we know our strengths and weaknesses, as well as how we react to situations and people.
- Self-regulation: Because they are self-aware, emotionally intelligent people can regulate their emotions and keep them in check as necessary.
- Motivation: People with high Emotional Intelligence tend to be highly motivated as well, which makes them more resilient and optimistic.
- Empathy: People with empathy and compassion are simply better at connecting with other people.
- Social skills: The social skills of emotionally intelligent people show they genuinely care for and respect others and they get along well with them.
Why use the EQ-i 2.0 Tool?
At Coaching Direct, we have been administering the EQ-i tool since 2011. Unlike other diagnostic tools, the EQ-i is a development tool that can be used to measure EI at the start and end of any programme. This means we can accurately measure the impact of any programme, which makes it unique.
Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is not a static 'score'. It can be developed and strengthened over time, if focused development is implemented. It is therefore a hugely beneficial tool for use in the workplace. Emotionally Intelligent leaders are proven to be much more effective in the workplace; better at listening, defusing conflict, making decisions, controlling impulsive reactions and developing their teams.
If you're a coach who wants to add Emotional Intelligence certification to their executive coaching toolkit, or are responsible for people development, find out when our next EQ-i 2.0 course is running.
