Scale-Description

The Brief Emotional Intelligence Scale-10 (BEIS-10) is a measurement tool developed to assess emotional intelligence (EI) in a short amount of time. It consists of 10 items that cover key aspects of emotional intelligence, such as the recognition, understanding, regulation, and use of emotions in interpersonal relationships. The BEIS-10 is designed to provide a brief but accurate assessment of emotional intelligence, making it ideal for research where time is limited.

Analysis and Data Usage

The BEIS-10 uses a 5-point Likert scale, where participants respond to statements related to their emotional intelligence, ranging from “strongly disagree” to “strongly agree.” These responses are used to quantify an individual’s level of emotional intelligence.
The data collected from the BEIS-10 can be analyzed to reveal differences in emotional intelligence between individuals or groups and to correlate with other factors, such as psychological well-being, workplace performance, relationships, or academic achievement. It can be used in research, educational, and professional settings to better understand people’s emotional management skills and to design corresponding interventions.

Purpose

The primary objective of the BEIS-10 is to provide a brief and effective measurement of emotional intelligence that can be used in various settings, such as research, employee evaluations, or developmental programs. The BEIS-10 helps researchers and professionals understand how individuals perceive, manage, and use emotions in different situations.

Calibration

The BEIS-10 has been calibrated through validation studies using samples from diverse cultural and social backgrounds. Its reliability (such as internal consistency and validity) has been positively evaluated through statistical methods, including factor analysis and Cronbach’s alpha. These results show that the scale has good psychometric reliability despite its brevity.
