Simmons EQ Profile

What are the characteristics of a good profiling tool? It should :

• Have stood the test of time and been around for a least ten years to avoid the "fad" phase
• Be difficult to manipulate
• Make clear distinctions between different people without putting them in a box with a label
• Have a long history of validation against actual behaviour, preferably with better than 95% accuracy
• Be updated for changes in society norms and expectations
• Use at least 200 data points to make any distinctive conclusions

For those of us that are sceptical about assessment devices, the Simmons EQ Profile appears to be the genuine article.

For those of us who have been in the corporate world for ten or twenty years or more, we will have been subject to at least one assessment device. The Simmons EQ Profile, when applied even to the most experienced of people, draws but one reaction; "I am amazed".

A fifty-one year old finance manager commented, "Now I have seen everything. I wanted to do this profile to see how it compared with my Myers-Briggs assessment I did fifteen years ago. This is different. I don't know how an instrument like that can tell so much about me"

A twenty four year old HR Manager was equally amazed. "It has me to a tee. Even those things I am afraid to admit to myself".

The Simmons EQ Profile has been constantly validated and updated for thirty years. Users of the profile rate it as 97-100% accurate.

The Simmons EQ Profile assesses people against 13 independent attributes which have been benchmarked against the requirements of different professions and society norms. It is the combination of the values of the attributes that tells the story about an individual's emotional intelligence, not just the absolute values.
