The EQ 360 provides a more in depth analysis of the individual’s emotional and social skill by having those people that work with the individual provide information on the five scales and fifteen subscales that are measured. This could include peers, direct reports, the boss, the boss’s peers, family and friends. The observers ratings are compared to the results of the individual’s standard EQ-i 2.0 self-report for a more complete 360-degree view. The EQ-360 identifies key employee strengths that can be leveraged to the benefit of the organization, as well as impediments to high performance that could be improved.
EQ 360 is a new 360 assessment and a multi-rater survey of 133 questions.
Requires certification to administer.
Benefits
Takes the standard EQ to the next level in providing input on how others see us. A much more thorough and comprehensive look at EQ and how we are perceived.
Considerations
Requires multiple raters, each of whom will require 30 minutes to complete the survey. Can be a drain on a team that is taking this assessment, as it can quickly add up to several hours apiece as people complete their own and others assessments. As with the -basic” EQ, it has the potential to come across as punishing. Best done in a coaching one-on-one relationship rather than in the classroom.
