7. Organizations… research results
The more EI:
- More job promotions
- Better peer-evaluations
- Better group climate
- More work conflicts solved
- More “life-stability” in the relationships at work
- More “incomes”
- Better relationships with colleagues and supervisor

8. EI Definition
“…ability to appraise and understand
one's own emotions, as well as those of
others, and to utilize them effectively in
diverse situational settings in order to
assist, guide, and enhance thought,
through processes, and actions".

11. EMOTION PERCEPTION
Indicate how much of each emotion is expressed by this face:
None 1 2 3 4 5 Very Much
Happiness
Anger
Fear

12. Problems of current surveys
v Mostly related to the test development itself
but not to the theoretical model
§ Perception: it assess the emotion elicited in the
observer instead of the emotion showed.
§ Use: connection between performance of these
tasks, and the “using emotion” abilities is not clear.
§ Managing: There is not enough evidence for
whether and how theoretical knowledge is related
to one’s actual ability to manage emotions

21. CONCLUSIONS
v MEIT is not an adaptation of MSCEIT, it is
an “evolution” in the EI assessment.
v MEIT is finished but, at the same time it is
always “under construction.” We appreciate
your feed-back to improve the App.
v We are open to international projects and
collaborations with universities and/or
companies.
