Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test

About the MSCEIT

The Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT) is a reliable ability-based measure of emotional intelligence, developed by academics at Yale and the University of New Hampshire.

Using a variety of interesting and creative tasks, the MSCEIT provides clients with a total EI score, a strategic and experiential score, the eight individual task scores and four branch scores.

These four branches of Mayer and Salovey’s EI model are:

Perceiving Emotions: The ability to perceive emotions in yourself and others as well as in stories, pictures and other stimuli
Using Emotions: The ability to use and feel emotions in order to effectively facilitate thoughts and communicate feelings
Understanding Emotions: The ability to understand emotional information, including how emotions combine, progress and relate to each other
Managing Emotions: The ability to be open to feelings whilst simultaneously being able to modulate them in oneself and others

This performance-based approach is ideal for situations where respondents may want to create a positive impression or 'fake good.'
