The assessment
A recognised framework for understanding
The EQ-i 2.0 is a scientifically developed emotional-intelligence assessment used by qualified professionals in workplace and leadership-development contexts.
What it provides
Structure, not labels.
The assessment provides a structured view of emotional intelligence across five composite areas and 15 subscales, creating a detailed picture of strengths and development opportunities.
Dutch norms are available alongside global and other international norms, which makes it particularly relevant for professionals working in the Netherlands and in international organisations.

Interpretation
Administered and interpreted by a certified practitioner.
Assessment administration and interpretation are conducted by an appropriately certified EQ-i 2.0 practitioner. The assessment is the Emotional Quotient-Inventory™ 2.0 (EQ-i 2.0®), published by Multi-Health Systems Inc. (MHS).
Results are always explored in conversation, never handed over as a score to interpret alone.
The next step
You don't need another generic leadership programme.
Start with a conversation about where you are, what is changing and what you want to develop.
