Analysis

The test is a self-report assessment consisting of 125 statements. Participants indicate the degree of their agreement or disagreement with each statement using a seven-point Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree, 7 = strongly agree).
The psychometric tool is divided into five subscales (five sets of 25 items), which correspond to the five core dimensions of emotional intelligence according to Goleman’s theoretical model. The subscales are:
Self-awareness (consciousness–self-awareness)
Self-regulation
Motivation
Empathy
Social skills
There is no time limit for completing the test. On average, it takes about 30 minutes to complete. The test is intended for adult men and women only and is not suitable for children or adolescents.

Purpose

The test evaluates an individual’s level of emotional intelligence in their work environment.

Sample

The test is in its final development phase and has been standardized on a sample of 2,000 individuals across Greece.
The mean score across all factors for the 2,000 participants was 56.28/875, with a standard deviation of 50.23.
No statistically significant differences were found between male and female participants.

Scoring

Participants rate each statement from 1 to 7. The total score is the sum of the agreement ratings across all statements.
The maximum score is 875 emotional intelligence points.
These values are analyzed based on the five subscales and the five core dimensions of emotional intelligence.

Validity and Reliability

The test demonstrates content validity and construct validity.
There is a positive and statistically significant correlation with final performance (r = 0.67, p < 0.01).
The overall reliability of the test is satisfactory, with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.89.
Split-half reliability is r = 0.87, and the subscales range from 0.70 to 0.90.
