It goes beyond the limitations of understanding the self and others to understanding the context in which people operate.

| Personal Focus | Relational Focus | Situational Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Self awareness How well do I understand and value myself? |

Situational awareness How well do I understand and value different groups and cultures? |
| Self management How well do I manage myself and my emotions? |
Social management How well do I manage others and their difficulties? |
Situational management How well do I manage diverse and changing circumstances? |
| Self motivation How well do I inspire myself to grow and contribute? |
Social motivation How well do I inspire others to grow and contribute? |

Increasing emotional ‘literacy’ can clarify vision, increase flexibility and help to build stronger relationships. The EIQ3D also addresses the critical weakness of such questionnaires – that self-report is a poor way to measure self-awareness! A unique feature of EIQ3D is the paired assessment – the ‘3D’ aspect – which allows another person to comment on an individual’s emotional intelligence.
The combination of a thorough coverage of emotional intelligence, and the ability to include more than one perspective, gives the EIQ3D a useful role in numerous areas of personal development.
