MSCEIT2 Emotional Intelligence Model

Enhance Decision Making, Leadership skills and Well-Being

Emotional intelligence isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a tool to support your personal and professional success. The Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT2) is the gold standard for measuring and developing emotional intelligence (EI) based on over 30 years of scientific research.

This assessment uses 12 different interactive question types to measure your ability to be smart with and about emotions in four domains: perceiving emotions, connecting emotions to other sensations, understanding complex emotions and the causes and transitions between emotions, and managing emotional data, to make optimal decisions.


This approach views EI as a unique intelligence, where emotions and intelligence work together, rather than being separate, or at odds with one another.

Unlike self-report EI tests, MSCEIT2 is an ability-based assessment that measures how effectively you perceive, use, understand, and manage emotions.

This powerful tool provides deep insights into:

  • Self-awareness – Recognize and understand your emotions in real time

  • Emotional regulation – Develop strategies to manage emotions effectively

  • Empathy & relationships – Strengthen your ability to connect with and understand others

  • Decision-making – Make more informed and emotionally intelligent choices

  • Resilience & well-being – Reduce stress and enhance emotional balance
