EQ-i 2.0® Higher Education

Overview

Overview

The EQ-i 2.0 Higher Education Report provides a framework for understanding a student's Emotional Intelligence (EI) skills in order to foster academic and life success. With almost 25% of first-year students leaving before their sophomore year, post-secondary life and education can be challenging. Students often feel overwhelmed, lonely, isolated, and have difficulty adjusting to the demands of college and university. Emotional Intelligence is related to both grades and retention. Higher EI, specifically interpersonal and stress management skills, and increased persistence in post-secondary education. Features and Benefits: With limited resources making it a challenge to generate reports and debrief students individually, the Higher Education Report is available through an online portal that can automatically generate and deliver the Student Summary Report to all who complete the EQ-i 2.0. An "alert" indicator will flag students who need additional follow-up. The customization feature allows the administrator to include not only the school logo but also specific student resources such as the counseling center, library, student support networks, and health services. Built-in security features for online administration help ensure that only those students intended to take the assessment are granted access. Administrators are given increased control over the automatic report generation process.

Reliability and Validity

Reliability and Validity

Reliability

The reliability of an assessment is often referred to as its consistency.

 The two most important types of reliability for assessments are:

  • Internal Consistency: refers to how well all the items of a certain scale measure the same idea
  • Test-Retest: refers to how well the assessment can produce the same results over time for the same person

The EQ-i 2.0 exhibits strong reliability, both in terms of internal consistency and test-retest. This means that your clients’ scores will remain stable over time (unless development efforts are used to improve their scores) and that items measuring a certain subscale all tap into aspects of that subscale. 

Validity

Validity ensures the accuracy and usefulness of an assessment. Although there are many different types of validity, they all focus on ensuring the assessment is measuring what it was designed to measure and whether it can predict important outcomes and can be assessed through a combination of several different types of validity evidence.

The EQ-i 2.0 was originally developed in North America but has been used in all regions of the world. The structure of the test, the consistency and accuracy of the items, and the results produced have been replicated across the globe and continues to enable a wide variety of cultures and languages to use the tool effectively to measure emotional intelligence. Overall, the EQ-i 2.0 has extensive evidence supporting its external validity: Predicts job performance, can be used to predict and improve leadership competencies, holds up in different regions across the world and is based on a history of assessment research spanning decades.
