To perform effectively we all need the right level of operational skills – a level of IQ – Intelligence Quotient. Emotional Intelligence EI helps us to be aware of and choose our own emotional reactions, inspire and motivate ourselves and others.
We can all do the above some of the time – but truly great performers regulate their emotions, motivate themselves and inspire others when it really matters.
To learn new behaviours we have to break old ones, which requires a different approach and a heightened level of self-awareness.

Emotional Intelligence was originated by Dr Peter Salovey and Dr John Mayer in 1990.
Mayer, Salovey and Caruso developed a model and a tool to measure Emotional Intelligence ability – MSCEIT (meskeet).
This is the only tool available to measure EI as ‘an intelligence’, avoiding the potential confusion of overlapping with other measures, i.e. personality tests. |
Emotional Intelligence Tests
With a growing industry of EI tests flooding the market, gluetogether have selected what we believe to be the best. We are one of only a few UK companies licensed to administer MSCEIT. In addition we have chosen to use the BarOn EQ-I®. This is based on over 20 years of research by Dr Reuven BarOn and completed by over 100,000 individuals worldwide. It can be used in selection, to help predict job performance, to aid development, coaching and to promote self awareness.
