EJI™ emotional intelligence test

Nurturing individual performance by harnessing emotional intelligence

The Emotional Judgment Inventory™ (EJI) is a robust measure of emotional intelligence that can help boost business performance in the areas of leadership, influencing, negotiation and resilience.

Emotional Intelligence

EI EJI colours Emotional intelligence has strong links to positive business results. Human beings are social creatures, and our environment is inundated with factual but also emotional information. This information influences our task performance, judgments, memory and problem-solving strategies – all of which are indispensible in a work setting. Some experts argue that emotional intelligence could be more important than IQ in determining a person’s professional success.
The Emotional Judgment Inventory is a useful addition to my test battery. Its assessment of emotional sensitivity, management, and expression offer particularly helpful insights about leadership and sales candidates. I can closely examine important characteristics that general personality inventories only measure indirectly.

The EJI - key features
