The MSCEIT is an ability-based assessment of emotional intelligence and measures a person’s capacity for
reasoning with emotional information. It employs a variety of interesting and creative tasks to elicit valuable
information about a respondent’s emotional intelligence skills.

Because the MSCEIT is an ability-based measure, it is very difficult for respondents to ‘fake’ a good
performance. As such, the MSCEIT is ideal for testing situations in which it is expected that respondents will
want to create a positive impression.

The MSCEIT generates four branch scores:

1. Managing Emotions (assessed using the Emotional Management task and the Social Management task)

2. Understanding Emotions (assessed using the Blends task and the Changes task)

3. Using Emotions (assessed using the Sensations task and the Facilitation task)

4. Perceiving Emotions (assessed using the Faces task and the Pictures task)

    

MSCEIT Version 5 is a computerised assessment. Use the software to administer, score and generate MSCEIT
reports. MSCEIT has wide applicability as it can be used in all kinds of corporate, educational, research and
therapeutic settings.
