Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT)

The Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT™) provides a valuable means toobjectively measure how well people perform tasks and solve problems of an emotional nature,rather than having them provide their own subjective assessment of their emotional skills. It doesthis by evaluating Emotional Intelligence through a series of impersonal questions that establishes acandidate’s ability to perceive, use, understand, and regulate their emotions.

ASSESSMENT SCALES

The MSCEIT™ works with a four-branch model to measure emotional intelligence:

• PERCEIVING EMOTIONS: ability to perceive emotions in oneself and others, as well as in objects, art, stories, music, and other stimuli.

• FACILITATING THOUGHT: ability to generate, use, and feel emotion as necessary to communicate feelings or employ them in cognitive processes.

• UNDERSTANDING EMOTIONS: ability to understand emotional information, how emotions combine and progress through emotional transitions, and to appreciate such emotional meanings.

• MANAGING EMOTIONS: ability to be open to feelings and to modulate them in oneself and others to promote personal understanding and growth.

SOUTH AFRICAN RESEARCH

South African research is available using the MSCEIT™ to explore emotional intelligence as having state and trait constructs. A MSCEIT Youth Research Version (YRV) is also available for both online and paper administration for assessing children between the ages of 10 and 18. JVR Psychometrics welcomes the opportunity to partner with clients in conducting research studies in their organisations.
