The Six Seconds Emotional Intelligence Assessment (SEI™) is a suite of effective tools that measure EQ and equip people with a framework for putting emotional intelligence into action. The tools are used for a broad range of training, coaching, selection, and development needs. SEI is best-in-class because of the blend of strong psychometrics, easy practicality, and global relevance.
Where several other tools provide meaningful feedback, the SEI is unique because it’s not JUST feedback, it delivers a process framework that equips people to actually USE emotional intelligence. The SEI also links EQ to real life; it includes two questionnaires, an assessment of current “success factors” (e.g., effectiveness and relationships) and the EQ measure; this puts EQ in the context of important work & life outcomes, providing the “so what?” to make EQ relevant.
If you want to take the SEI yourself, it’s available for purchase online.
If you want to deliver the tool to others, certification is required to administer the SEI – it is a “Level B” tool with rigorous psychometric properties. The certification is offered live in our powerful SEI Coach program (see the events schedule) and ANYTIME through our convenient SEI 1-1 Certification. This program is also offered in both virtual and live formats through our SEI-E certifications with focus on youth (see the events schedule).
