The Social and Emotional Intelligence Profile (SEIP)®

Some researchers believe that our success in work and in life is driven far more by our emotional intelligence (EQ) than our cognitive intelligence (IQ). The cool thing? While IQ remains pretty much fixed from birth, EQ (or SEI) can be learned!

Discover your strengths and development opportunities and improve your social and emotional intelligence!

We begin with an assessment of SEI skills to identify your strengths and potential vulnerabilities in terms of social and emotional intelligence. We use the most comprehensive, statistically-reliable, scientifically-validated SEI assessment instrument on the market today, the Social and Emotional Intelligence Profile®.

The SEIP identifies an individual’s social and emotional intelligence strengths and development opportunities.  It is available as a self-assessment electronically via the web complete with practical suggestions on how an individual can strengthen and enhance his/her social and emotional skills.

Based on the latest research in the field of social and emotional intelligence, the SEIP four-quadrant model (self-awareness, self-management, other awareness, relationship management) is the model used in 75 percent of Fortune 500 companies today. The SEIP measures the 26 competencies identified as critical in socially and emotionally intelligent individuals, families, teams and organizations. In addition to identifying areas of strength and areas for improvement, the instrument provides detailed descriptions of emotionally and socially intelligent behaviors when present and when lacking, as well as extensive suggestions for development, helpful for coaches, HR professionals and the individual receiving the results. The 78-item SEIP is available online as both a self-report and 360 multi-rater format. Three versions are available: Adult, Youth (for ages 11 – 18), and Workplace (which uses business language). All reports are administered online, and results sent out as a report in PDF format. For teams and organizations, we will also provide, if needed, a team report on the strengths and development needs, so that training dollars can be directed to target the areas that most needed, at no additional cost.
