Emotional Intelligence

Emotional & Social Competence Inventory 360 (ESCI)
A Multirater Tool that Assesses Emotional Intelligence

Based on the seminal work of Dr. Richard Boyatzis and Dr. Daniel Goleman, the ESCI builds on Hay/McBer's 35 years of competency research and proven methodology for the full spectrum of emotional intelligence. The result is an assessment and development tool of unmatched precision and authenticity.

"The ESCI is the only instrument that incorporates the full depth of my research and that of my colleagues. Other instruments use the words "emotional intelligence" but the ESCI is the genuine article."
-- Dr. Daniel Goleman.

How can the ESCI be used?
The ESCI can evaluate both the individuals within an organization (Individual Feedback Reports) as well as the organization as a whole (Work Force Audits). These audits can provide an organizational profile for any size group within the company.

We use the ESCI to provide clients precise and focused feedback on their strengths and limits. Based on the feedback from a variety of rater groups (i.e. self, manager, direct reports, peers, others), the ESCI indicates the specific emotional competencies where development is needed to enhance the individual's emotional intelligence.

For organizations, we can use the ESCI to diagnose an entire unit, profiling its overall strengths and development opportunities. Pooling the individual assessments of an entire work unit provides a comprehensive profile of the organization's emotional intelligence. This work force audit can reveal key emotional gaps that may be limiting performance effectiveness.

Who can administer the ESCI?
The ESCI is limited to accredited users who can demonstrate their ability to give accurate, comprehensive feedback to their clients. Ken Kesslin, president of Kesslin Associates, is accredited to administrator the ESCI 360.
