Part I: Getting Started with the EQ-i 2.0

The Building Blocks of Emotional Intelligence

Summary

Emotional intelligence has reached a level of maturity stemming from a wealth of research, a broad range of applications, and vast user experiences. The evolution of emotional intelligence will continue as the links between emotional intelligence and successful performance becomes better understood and researchers continue to push the boundaries of our understanding. In the meantime, the information that has been gleaned from research spanning more than two decades on the EQ-i was used as a catalyst to refine the operational definition of emotional intelligence, culminating in the EQ-i 2.0.
