How we measure
How
we can be sure about the outcome
If
we are involved in psychometric testing, we face the problem of choosing the
right instrument. Only an instrument that itself is extendedly tested will gain
Scientific Validation, which means that it measures what it pretends to measure.
That’s why EQ-diagnostics®
prefers to work with The
BarOn
EQ-i®,
which
was
developed using such rigorous test-development procedures.
We
use the BarOn
Emotional Quotient Inventory - EQ-i™, which is based on two decades of
research by Dr. Reuven BarOn and tested on over 48,000 individuals worldwide.
The BarOn Emotional Quotient Inventory is designed to measure a number of
constructs related to emotional intelligence. A growing body of research
suggests that emotional intelligence is a better predictor of ‘success’ than
the more traditional measures of cognitive intelligence (IQ).
The
BarOn EQ-i consists of 133 items and takes approximately 30 minutes to complete.
It gives an overall EQ score as well as scores for the 5 composite scales and 15
subscales.
The BarOn EQ-i®:
?
is based upon
theoretical
concepts
and
on extensive
scientific research
?
provides empirical justification for reliability and validity data ? shows desirable levels of statistical accuracy in measuring the constructs they were developed to measure
(internal consistency)
?
demonstrates temporal stability in the retest reliability studies ? went through extensive validity studies, including content, factor, construct, convergent, divergent,
criteriongroup, discriminant, and predictive validity. ? offers findings that are consistent with the authors’ conceptualisation of emotional intelligence and
definitions of the BarOn EQ-i®
subscales
How
we know that you honestly answered the question
EQ-i®
reports list several scales to help us assess the respondent’s honesty in
answering items. These scales are Omission Rate (OR), Inconsistency Index (II),
Negative Impression (NI), and Positive Impression (PI). Beside other factors we
consider all four validity scales when interpreting assessment results — if
any of them is too high, the assessment results will be interpreted with extra
caution.
