Complete a MSCEIT®2 Assessment
The MSCEIT®2 is an abilities–based test, measuring actual emotional intelligence skills. Based on scenarios typical of everyday life, the MSCEIT®2 measures how well people perform tasks and solve emotional problems, rather than having them provide their own subjective assessment of their emotional skills.
