Q: Why would I use the EBW Emotional Intelligence System for Business rather than a personality assessment?
A: Used with other personality assessments or independently, the EBW System would be used when you needed to improve workplace performance. Personality assessments do not focus on how emotions affect behaviour and performance.
The EBW System provides you and your clients with insights into how to manage and change the critical emotions effect on behaviours that impact on performance (Business EQ).
Unlike a personality assessment, the EBW Emotional Intelligence System provides the individual with a framework and a road map of emotions and behaviours to benchmark and improve their performance and the performance of others at work.
Q: I already use an EQ tool, why would I use the EBW Emotional Intelligence Psychometric System?
A: Most Emotional Intelligence tests are very broad, based on social & emotional competences, whereas the EBW Business Emotional Intelligence System is unique in that it only focuses on the critical emotions and behaviours that impact on work success (Business EQ).
Using the EBW Emotional Intelligence System with leaders and teams you will find focusing on Business EQ more appropriate to their needs, easier and more straightforward to set goals, change unsuccessful behaviours and consequently more cost effective .

Q: I develop teams, how will the EBW Emotional Intelligence System improve what I do with teams?
A: The EBWt Emotional Intelligence System enables you to quickly assess and provide a clear picture of the team and the impact each member has on colleagues and the performance of the team.
Unlike other team systems it does not label people - its focus is on how peoples' emotions affect their ability to work together and what the team needs to do to raise performance.
The EBWt Team Report and team performance manual gives you all the necessary tools, strategies and practical exercises to run an intervention to change a team into a high performing team.
Q: Can I use the EBW for recruitment and how do I know the test results are right and the candidate has not faked their answers?
A: Yes, you can use the EBW for recruitment, it was designed specifically to be fair and be perceived as fair by all users (avoids age, religion, disability, race and gender/sexuality bias).
In addition to supplying the EQ scores to discriminate between candidates, the EBW recruitment report provides specific follow-up questions to guide a step-by-step behavioural interview.
The report also supplies a detailed description of the key behaviours to look for in a candidate, along with vital assessment criteria for evaluating the evidence.
Obviously, you can't control how someone answers the EBW assessment, but the EBW Impression Management tool (IMT) analyses their answers and tells you if the person is trying to answer the EBW honestly or how much they are trying to manage their impression.
The IMT gives you confidence in the ability of the EBW assessment to discriminate accurately between candidates.
