People Index

People Index measures 17 critical emotional intelligence competencies helping you help your clients to recognize, understand and manage emotions and behavior effectively. People Index is a comprehensive self assessment tool designed to measure a view of Emotional Intelligence.

People Index is based on the most widely accepted model of Emotional Intelligence and assesses the following areas:

  • Self-Awareness
  • Social Awareness
  • Self-Management
  • Relationship Management

This emotional intelligence self assessment provides a rigorous and in-depth report of strengths and developmental needs on critical social, interpersonal and communications competencies. The individual report gives feedback on each emotional intelligence competency with a graphical comparison of self perceptions compared to the normative database (currently 2,000 employees) and includes a developmental action plan section.

People Index is ideal for use in executive coaching, management development programs, supervisory training, and developmental programs for employees at all levels of the organization.

People Index was developed by Kenneth M. Nowack, Ph.D., a licensed psychologist and researcher in the area of 360-degree feedback, emotional intelligence and occupational health. Dr. Nowack is a member in Daniel Goleman's Consortium for Research on Emotional Intelligence in Organizations.
