What is EQ 360®?
EQ 360® is the multi-rater (360°) version of EQ-i 2.0®, designed to provide a comprehensive view of an individual’s emotional intelligence by combining self-assessment with external feedback.
Unlike EQ-i 2.0, which relies solely on self-perception, EQ 360 gathers input from multiple sources:
- Manager
- Colleagues
- Direct reports
- Clients, partners
- Family and friends
This approach allows comparison between how individuals perceive themselves and how others perceive them, highlighting strengths, blind spots, and perception gaps.
