Part III: Administering a Multirater EQ 360 2.0

EQ 360 2.0 Setup and Scoring

Step 3. Track Completion

You can log in to your EQ-i 2.0 Portal account at any time and check on the progress of an EQ 360 2.0 assessment. Simply click Assessments, select the EQ 360 2.0, and click the Manage button. Locate your participant using the filters provided and click Details to modify participant information, comments, and rater nominations.

You can add, remove, or modify comments up until the first rater has completed the EQ 360 2.0, after which time the comments are locked in to ensure a consistent inventory.

You can nominate additional raters and change their relationship to the participant up to six weeks following the first report you generate for a participant. This feature allows you to correct for any rater groups not meeting the rater anonymity rules (e.g., 2 direct reports). It is not advisable to experiment with changing rater relationships in order to change the outcomes of the EQ 360 2.0. For this reason, the only rater relationship adjustment you can make is to change a rater in any rater group to the “Other” rater category.

Rater Anonymity Rules

EQ 360 2.0 rater results are anonymous. At no time can an EQ 360 2.0 administrator or respondent access the individual responses tied to the rater who provided them.

All of the EQ 360 2.0 assessments within each rater category are scored together as an aggregate. In other words, ratings from peers are combined into one group, direct reports are combined into another group, and family/friends are combined into another. Results are presented in aggregate or summed form in the reports for each of these groups. Results for each scale are presented graphically by rater category. Ratings are presented for each individual item as the average rating (or response) across each rater group.

In order to ensure anonymity of raters, participants are encouraged to nominate 3 or more raters in each category. If there is only one rater in a category, those results are omitted from the report unless they are combined with another rater group. The only exception to the above is the manager category, because most employees do not report to more than one manager. The managers should be made aware that their results will be graphed and scale scores reported even if there are fewer than 3 managers.
