The Baron EQ/I assessment is a 360-degree assessment.

The Baron EQ/I assessment is a 360-degree assessment. This means it measures the effectiveness of a person’s leadership, with the goal of improving their performance and increasing their potential for success.

The exam consists of five sections:

• Global Leadership Self-Assessment (GLSA) – This section contains questions about your character, values, and beliefs; how these factors impact your decision-making process; how others perceive you as leader; whether there are any specific challenges or issues facing your current position that you would like to address before moving forward with other areas such as succession planning or succession planning process

The first part of the assessment asks questions about the target.

The first part of the assessment asks questions about the target’s behavior, attitude, motivation and values. These are important because they provide a basis for understanding how you can best help this person achieve his or her goals.

For example: “I’m going to ask you some questions about yourself so we can figure out how we can help each other reach our goals” (possible response).

The second part of the assessment asks questions about some of the people who know them well.

The second part of the assessment asks questions about some of the people who know them well. This section is designed to gather information about how they behave, how they lead, and what they communicate with others. There are also questions about their strengths and weaknesses as a leader; how they work with others; and whether there are any areas where the target could improve their skills or performance.

The goal of these sections is to help you understand your target’s personality better so that you can best support them in their role as an employee or manager.

The third part of the assessment is a feedback report that compares and contrasts responses to the first two parts to identify themes, strengths, and areas for improvement.

What is EQ?

EQ, or emotional intelligence, is the ability to use one’s emotions to manage one’s behavior, control impulses and make good decisions. It’s not just about being a person with a high IQ; it’s also about having the ability to control your emotions so that you can make good decisions in tough situations.

EQ is a combination of self-awareness (the ability to recognize your own feelings), self-regulation (the ability to control these feelings) and social skills (how well you connect with others). Emotional intelligence has been shown in multiple studies over time as an important predictor for success across all areas of life from education through career choices up through marriage and parenting.

Taking an EQ/I assessment helps improve self-awareness, which builds a foundation for empathy, teamwork, conflict management, and many other soft skills that make good managers great leaders.

Taking an EQ/I assessment helps improve self-awareness, which builds a foundation for empathy, teamwork, conflict management and many other soft skills that make good managers great leaders. Self-awareness is the first step to improving your soft skills. It’s important because it allows you to see yourself clearly—including both strengths and weaknesses—and understand how you react in different situations. If people don’t know themselves well enough then they can’t effectively manage their reactions or deal with others’ reactions around them; this makes it hard for them to lead in ways that are aligned with organizational goals or values.

We hope that you’ve enjoyed learning more about the Baron EQ/I assessment and how it can help you learn more about yourself, your colleagues, and the people in your life. It’s a great tool to help managers improve their relationship with employees and improve their performance as leaders.
