SEI Research
The SEI has been normed and validated internationally; over 16,000 people have taken the assessment, and several studies have shown the SEI to be an effective measure tied to important work and life outcomes:
- White Paper: Emotional Intelligence for Athletes' Life Success. Among 30 retired members of the National Football League, there is a very strong correlation between EQ and "life success" (health, behavior). [also in PDF, slide highlights, press release]
- White Paper: EQ and Success. SEI predicts 54.79% of critical success factors [PDF]
- White Paper: EQ, Stress, and Performance in Healthcare: SEI predicts 60-80% of the variation in performance scores (higher for more senior team members). EQ seems to mitigate the negative effects of stress. [PDF, slides, and press release also available]
- White Paper: Optimism for Performance: Optimism on SEI predicts 17.9% of performance scores in high-tech company [PDF]
- White Paper: Increasing EQ: 2-day training yields 7% gain in scores [PDF]
- White Paper: EQ and Age: Age is slightly predictive of some aspects of emotional intelligence [PDF]
- SEI Technical Manual: Overview of validation and psychometric properties [PDF]
- Research Summary: Youth Emotional Intelligence Assessment - validity of SEI-YV and summary data on EQ predicting important life and school outcomes [PDF]
