8-1      Describe the structure of the Baron EQ/I assessment. How can this assessment lead to a better understanding of interacting with others? Explain.

Andre The Bar-On Emotional Quotient Inventory is a self-report assessment of emotional and social factors that gives an estimate of emotional and social intelligence (Bar-On, 2013). It is a 133-item inventory that scores five areas (intrapersonal and interpersonal factors. stress management skills, situational adaptability and general positive moods). The principle of Bar-On is that if one manages their own responses effectively, it will translate into positive interpersonal relationships with others (Bar-On, 2006). This is due to the idea that one needs to assess their emotional intelligence, in order to respond to their emotions effectively, which affects one’s emotional health and ultimately their psychological well-being (Bar-On, 2013). When these three factors are in balance and the person is not engaging in self-defeating behaviors, one can interact with others effectively as well.

Tara,  The structure of the Baron EQ/1 assessment assesses self-perception, interpersonal, decision making, stress management, and self-expression (High Performing Systems, Inc., n.d.). The EQ-i consists of 133 items in the form of short sentences and employs a 5-point response scale with a textual response format ranging from "very seldom or not true of me" (1) to "very often true of me or true of me" (5) (High Performing Systems, Inc., n.d.). It measures socially and emotionally intelligent behavior. Emotional intelligence is believed to be a critical determinant of life success (High Performing Systems, Inc., n.d.).

This assessment can lead to a better understanding of interacting with others because the knowledge gained helps guide actions and thoughts towards self and others. One may find new methods that allow their emotional intelligence to become stronger, therefore, providing them with the confidence needed for robust decision making.

 This is my post  Andre comment answer his comment below The full assessment of the combined emotional social intelligence comprise five major components, viz, Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, Stress Management, General Mood Scale, and Adaptability.

Intrapersonal reveals tendencies of self-regard, emotional self-awareness, assertiveness, independence, and self-determination.
Interpersonal focuses on empathy, social responsibility, and socialization.
Stress Management explores tolerance to stress, and self-control when overwhelmed with emotions.
General mood scale checks an individual’s hopefulness and joy.Adaptability deals with life skills especially problem solving techniques, versatility and acceptance of reality

How can EQ/I assessment lead to a better understanding of interacting with others? Explain. The components as aforementioned provide a reserve of data about the people around an individual. Proper use of the knowledge gathered from those around you helps one communicate better, handle conflicts peacefully, empathize and handle challenges with confidence (Unknown, 2015). If the behavior at workplace, feelings, and relationship is checked then the quality of life of those around you are likely to be inspired. Reference

 Andre Hello Doris,

Your responses are indicative of the primary applicability of Bar-On to interpersonal relationships. Personal emotional well being can have an overwhelmingly positive impact on ho one participates in relationships, which can create healthy families, social structures and healthy communities. It does appear that the creators of Bar-On are looking to apply it more so to human performance in organizational settings. The goal is to maximize one’s potential and produce a concept of “star performer profiling” (Bar-On, 2013). The Bar-On is utilized to select, train and develop high performers by taking the Bar-On scores of employees that predict high performance, placing those employees in leadership training programs and matching the scores with employee performance reports two years after the initial assessment. It does seem that Bar-On has more immediate application in interpersonal relationships.

Lewis     The ESI measures emotional and social intelligence behavior.

 (https://ap.themyersbriggs.com/content/EQi_2_0_Model.jpg)

 Its broken down into five areas; Stress management, self-perception, self-expression interpersonal and decision making. This covers more in-depth with emotional self-awareness, empathy, problem solving, impulse control and optimism. “In brief, the EQ-i contains 133 items in the form of short sentences and employs a 5-point response scale with a textual response format” (2006)

EI is a touch tricky as it should show the capacity to be aware and control ones emotions.

The tricky part is what side of the scale you are viewing it from. Slow or consistent picky or careful, when we measure things like this or at least in this manner it comes down to social perspective. Not a lot past that. That makes it at least hard for me to better understand how this can help with understanding others or even interacting with them. Sure there is a huge difference between acting out and not, that is why I used the examples that I did. My wife will tell you I am fussy, I would tell you I am meticulous. I would tell you that I am strong willed but others would say I am bossy. Again its all about perspective, and when things like that come down to it, there is no real right or wrong answers.

Lewis did a wheel but it would not copy

8-2     For what situations would the Baron EQ/I assessment be most appropriate or applicable? Explain.

Andre

The Bar-On Emotional Quotient Inventory measures emotional and social intelligence (Bar-On, 2013). Emotional intelligence involves abilities, competencies and skills related to understanding oneself and others, relating to peers and family members, and adapting to changing environmental situations and demands. The problem becomes when one uses emotional responses to life situations rather than effective problem-solving. Emotional responses can affect a person’s perspective and interfere with their ability to manage their situations effectivly. The situations in which the Bar-On EQ/I would be most useful are those in which emotional reactivity impacts one’s ability to manage their situations effectively. The two primary areas that I would use Bar-On are when the client is experiencing anger, sadness or anhedonia and this either causes decreased motivation or affects their interpersonal interactions with others either in their career or in their interpersonal relationships.
