the Bar-On Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-i)
The Bar-On Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-i) is a psychological assessment tool designed to measure a person’s emotional intelligence—how well they understand, manage, and use emotions in themselves and others. It evaluates qualities like self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills. The results help individuals and organizations understand emotional strengths and areas for development, improving personal well-being, communication, and decision-making. The EQ-i is widely used in workplace, educational, and clinical settings to foster emotional skills that support success and resilience.
