"Measuring
Emotional Intelligence"
published
by Summit
Publishing Group
The
first and most complete reference to measuring and using emotional
intelligence!
Written by Steve P. Simmons, M.Ed. and John C. Simmons
Measuring Emotional Intelligence
is the first emotional intelligence book to completely describe and quantify all 13 of the emotional
intelligence traits: Emotional Energy,
Stress, Optimism, Self-esteem, Commitment to Work, Attention to Detail, Desire for Change,
Courage, Self-direction, Assertiveness, Tolerance, Consideration for Others, and
Sociability.
The
book shows what each trait is like, how to measure it by observation,
strengths of the trait, potential difficulties with the trait, how each
trait predicts job compatibility and success, and how each trait affects
relationship compatibility and success. Recommendations are also
given to improve job and relational success.
This
emotional intelligence book is based upon 20 years of research using the Simmons Personal Survey, which measures
the 13 key characteristics of emotional
intelligence. The nationally renowned survey helps companies gain a competitive edge in
selecting, placing, developing, training, and promoting employees. It is
also used in counseling settings.
There is a lesson that can be learned by everyone in

Employees can learn about their own emotional
characteristics and how they affect job performance.

Managers can compare traits to specific jobs and
make quality decisions which will improve their job hiring practices and job performance
