360 Degree Feedback - the only real way to assess Emotional Intelligence
Imagine that you lived on your own in the world and you were the only person to give yourself feedback. It would be a bit of a lonely life and you wouldn't learn much. The fact is that the only real way to assess your emotional intelligence is to get feedback from people who know you and the way you interact.
Using feedback to assess Emotional Intelligence is also known as multi-rater feedback or structured feedback. We start with a competency structure as defined in the original work on Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman. Then we break down Goleman's definitions into a number of behaviours or attitudes that anybody that knows you could observe and these form the basis of our structured questionnaire. Answer the questionnaire yourself to give a measure of your self perception and then get half a dozen people who know you to answer the same questions with how they see you - and there you have it.
Emotional Intelligence is one of the biggest factors in determining our success in life and being able to assess and develop it is crucial. And you can start right now by clicking here and selecting Emotional Intelligence - you will be able to built your self perception and gather feedback from people you know. You'll get a free mini report and you will only be asked for payment if you decide to upgrade to the full version.
