Appendix A: Standardization, Reliability, and Validity Tables
Table A.25. Correlations between EQ-i 2.0 and Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test - Expert Consensus Scores: Task Scores
The following table illustrates correlations between the EQ-i 2.0 Total EI score, composite scales, and subscales, and the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT; Task Scores). Values range from -1.00 to +1.00; values close to -1.00 represent an inverse relationship between scores on the two scales, values close to +1.00 represent a direct relationship, and values close to zero represent a lack of a relationship. The correlations close to zero found between most of the MSCEIT scores (see Standardization, Reliability, and Validity) and the EQ-i 2.0 support the validity of the EQ-i 2.0.
