IQ alone isn’t enough in today’s workplace

  • Talented individuals struggle to manage stress, conflict, or team dynamics

  • Leaders fail to inspire or influence due to poor emotional awareness

  • Teams experience friction and miscommunication, slowing progress

In a high-pressure business environment like Australia’s, emotional intelligence is essential for effective leadership, teamwork, and culture. Without insight into these soft skills, performance - and people - suffer.

What is an Emotional Intelligence Assessment?

The Emotional Intelligence Assessment (TEIQue) measures a person’s emotional self-awareness, emotional management, social skills, and adaptability. It helps organisations understand how someone responds to emotional and interpersonal challenges at work.

  • Based on the TEIQue model developed by Dr. K.V. Petrides
  • Measures key emotional traits like empathy, stress management, and assertiveness
  • 20–25 minute online completion time
