EQ-i 2.0 and 360 feedback, together
EQ-i 2.0 gives you a clear, validated read on how your client sees their own emotional intelligence. The open question it leaves is whether the people around them experience it the same way.
A 360 answers that. Self-perceived EQ and observed EQ are often different, and the difference is exactly what a coach can work with.
What EQ-i 2.0 gives you
EQ-i 2.0 gives you a structured, self-reported map of emotional intelligence across composites like self-perception, interpersonal, and decision-making.
What a 360 adds
A 360 adds whether that emotional intelligence is actually felt by others — the lived, outside experience of the same competencies.
How they work together
Self-perception vs. lived experience
EQ-i is how your client rates their own EQ. A 360 is how their team experiences it. When those diverge, you've found the highest-leverage coaching target in the room.
Make EQ concrete
Emotional intelligence can feel abstract on a self-report. Anonymous quotes from real colleagues turn a composite score into specific, believable moments.
You stay the expert
360Growth is the outside-view layer, not a replacement for your EQ-i certification. Your interpretation remains the heart of the work.
FAQ
Is a 360 the same as an emotional intelligence assessment?
No. EQ-i 2.0 measures self-perceived emotional intelligence; a 360 measures how a person's behavior is perceived by others. They complement each other.
Why pair EQ-i with a 360?
Because self-perceived EQ and observed EQ often differ. Seeing both sides gives your client a far more honest and actionable picture.
Does 360Growth interpret the results for the client?
It synthesizes the feedback into a clear report, but the coaching interpretation stays with you — the tool supports your expertise, it doesn't stand in for it.
