Table A.52. Correlations among EQ 360 2.0 Composite Scales (Normative Sample)

The following table illustrates the correlations among the EQ 360 2.0 composite scales in the EQ 360 2.0 normative sample. Correlations range from 0.00 to 1.00, with higher values suggesting the scales share a relevant common psychological characteristic (i.e., emotional intelligence).   Moderately sized correlations, like those that were found in the EQ 360 2.0, support both the concept that the scales measure a common psychological characteristic, as well as the multidimensional factor structure of the EQ 360 2.0.
