The Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT ™) is designed to measure emotional intelligence and is an ability-based scale. It tests the respondent’s ability to perceive, use, understand, and regulate emotions. Such skills are indispensible whether you are leading a company or dealing with your kids at home.

Developed by researchers at Yale University and the University of New Hampshire, and published by Multi-Health Systems Inc., the MSCEIT ™ stands out as a rigorously scientific measure. It consists of 141 questions requiring participants to perform a variety of tasks that engage:

– the ability to identify emotions expressed by a face or in a design;

– to create feelings that can help solve problems, communicate a vision, or lead people;

– to predict how someone will react emotionally, and

– to enhance decision making by integrating thought and emotion.

The MSCEIT ™ Resource Report interprets the results, identifies strengths and weaknesses, and then offers ways to improve.
