Three Questions to Gauge Emotional Intelligence

Emotional Intelligence (EI)

EI means the mastery of emotional competencies.

That includes self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management.

Questions to Measure EI in interviews

If you worked for your top competitor, how would you beat yourself? This question could show the candidate's ability to put the good of the organization ahead their own pride.
Can you use a belief statement to explain the value of what we offer? Ask a belief statement that gets at the heart of what an organization or team offers.
