Research shows that EQ scores predict performance on critical life success factors like relationships, wellbeing, life satisfaction and personal achievement. For children in particular, EQ has been linked to success both academically and later in life.

The SEI YV provides feedback on a child’s EQ within a framework for growth and development. Utilizing the core Six Seconds Emotional Intelligence Model, the SEI-YV works perfectly with dozens of hours of published curriculum, hundreds of resources, and numerous hands-on tools for implementing EQ.

 

Features:

Contextualizes EQ as a resource for five key life outcomes: Good Health, Quality Relationships, Life Satisfaction, Personal Achievement and Self-Efficacy

Frames EQ in language that is simple and easy to understand for children and adults

Illustrates current EQ levels in a “snapshot” showing each EQ competency and how it relates to critical life success factors

Recommends next steps and strategies based on the current scores of every competency

Available in English, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, Arabic and Lithuanian

The SEI-YV begins with an introduction to emotional intelligence, provides a summary of the youth’s current scores on important life outcomes, and links these life outcome scores to the youth’s current scores on each EQ competency in the Six Seconds Model.

Sample: Introduction to EQ

The SEI-YV starts with a simple, clear introduction to EQ and its impact on critical life success factors.

Sample: EQ Score Feedback 

The SEI-YV provides both an overview and detailed look at the child’s current levels of emotional intelligence, broken down by competency.

Sample: EQ Yardstick

Most importantly, the SEI-YV helps link emotional intelligence to the important life outcomes (Life Barometers) through an innovative tool called the EQ Yardstick.

The SEI-YV can also produce simple, powerful 1-page profiles about the child’s approach to emotional intelligence, and/or key talents as a changemaker.

The “Brain Brief Profile” offers a quick, practical way to introduce EQ and help children understand their style of how they focus, make decisions, and drive themselves.

The “Brain Talent Profile” offers insight into the youth’s top six “Brain Talents,” capabilities such as resilience, connection, vision, and commitment that are ways of using emotional intelligence in daily life. This tool is effective for helping a child understand her/his unique strengths (and for groups of children to understand one-another’s).

These profiles are summarized for a group in a 1-page “Dashboard” that is highly effective for teachers or other leaders of groups of youth to understand and discuss the group’s social emotional strengths and needs.
