Part V: creating the EQ-i 2.0 and EQ 360 2.0

UK and Ireland Norms

Overview

The release of the United Kingdom (UK) and Ireland Norm provides users with the ability to score their clients against data collected from these countries. This chapter is designed to provide normative and psychometric information particular to populations in the UK and Ireland, and does not constitute a revision to the EQ-i 2.0 or EQ 360 2.0 assessments, published in 2011. The assessments remain unchanged, but additional normative samples are now available (the original North American normative samples are described in detail in Standardization, Reliability, and Validity).

This chapter describes the development of the EQ-i® 2.0 and EQ 360 2.0 UK and Ireland Norm samples. For information on the EQ-i 2.0, including administration, interpretation, or development of the North American Norm, please refer to Parts I–V of the EQ-i 2.0 User’s Handbook.

The first section of this chapter is devoted to the development, standardisation, reliability, and validity of the EQ-i 2.0 UK and Ireland Norm, followed by a section describing these same properties for the EQ 360 2.0 UK and Ireland Norm.
