The Emotional Intelligence Appraisal
The Emotional Intelligence Appraisal, is a skill-based self-report measure of emotional intelligence (EQ) developed as a measure of emotionally competent behavior that provides an estimate of one's emotional intelligence. Twenty-eight items are used to obtain a total EQ score and to produce four composite scale scores, corresponding to the four main skills of Daniel Goleman's model of emotional intelligence. The Emotional Intelligence Appraisal was created in 2001 by Drs. Travis Bradberry and Jean Greaves and comes in both booklet and online format, allowing participants to choose their preferred method of test taking.

The Emotional Intelligence Appraisal has been validated against the ability-based assessment of emotional intelligence called the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT), based on the model first proposed by Mayer and Salovey in 1990. The results indicated a positive, but non-significant correlation between the Emotional Intelligence Appraisal and the MSCEIT. This suggests a distinction between the construct measured by these assessments, as one is ability-based and the other is skill-based.

The Emotional Competencies (Goleman) model

The model introduced by Daniel Goleman focuses on EQ as a wide array of competencies and skills that drive leadership performance. Goleman's model outlines four main EQ constructs:

1. Self-awareness — the ability to read one's emotions and recognize their impact while using gut feelings to guide decisions.

2. Self-management — involves controlling one's emotions and impulses and adapting to changing circumstances.

3. Social awareness — the ability to sense, understand, and react to others' emotions while comprehending social networks.

4. Relationship management — the ability to inspire, influence, and develop others while managing conflict.

One study confirmed the structure of Goleman’s model of emotional intelligence, looking at 596 respondents to the Emotional Competence Inventory (ECI). Findings suggested strong support for a model of emotional intelligence based upon personal and social competence.
