Applications

Description
The Multidimensional Emotional Intelligence Assessment (MEIA) is a 150-item, self-report, trait-based measure of emotional intelligence (EI) based on Salovey and Mayer’s (1990) multidimensional model of EI. The assessment includes 10 primary scales (listed below), and an Infrequency scale to detect non-purposeful responding.

• Recognition of Emotion in the Self
• Regulation of Emotion in the Self
• Recognition of Emotion in Others
• Regulation of Emotion in Others
• Nonverbal Emotional Expression
• Empathy
• Intuition versus Reason
• Creative Thinking
• Mood Redirected Attention
• Motivating Emotions

Distinguishing Features

• Distinct coverage of all 10 facets of Salovey and Mayer’s (1990) influential model of EI
• Minimized susceptibility to socially desirable responding and acquiescence response bias
• Inclusion of an infrequency scale to detect non-purposeful (invalid) responding
• Documented content validity, structural validity, and incremental validity
• Also available in a workplace version – the Multidimensional Emotional Intelligence Assessment - Workplace (MEIA-W) with norms based on over 600 working adults
