Working with the Real Thing

There are more and more feedback instruments being used by coaches that claim to provide valid developmental input on emotional intelligence. However very few are based on sound research and few can adequately demonstrate the validity of the instrument itself.

Some key reasons why ScotCoach uses the Hay Group ECI:

• We researched the merits of other similar instruments and found the ECI to be consistent with best practice, comprehensive and useful to clients.

• The competencies in the ECI consist of ‘behaviours’ that are developmentally scaled so that it is not just a simple tick box exercise where the answer is either a yes or no as to whether you have that competency or not.

• This means that you may be using more complex behaviours or less complex behaviours within a particular competency and so be able to gauge at what level your competencies are and then choose which competencies you need to strengthen and develop.

• The ECI has been shown to meet standard psychometric requirements. Anyone interested in receiving additional information about the validity and technical aspects of the instrument please contact us and we will be happy to discuss any questions you may have.
