Validity and Reliability
The Genos Emotional Intelligence Inventory is an established instrument. The Genos Emotional Intelligence Inventory has been investigated by 5 peer-reviewed and published research papers. The instrument has 3,000 general workplace norms and 1,000 senior executive norms. The mean subscale reliability for internal consistency (the alpha scores for the eight subscales tested over five nationalities) ranges from 0.71 to 0.85. A test-reliability coefficient of .83 was calculated over a two month period for the Genos subscales. The reliability estimates are closely related to such other emotional intelligence self-report measures, such as the Bar-On Emotional Quotient Inventory and the Emotional Competence Inventory.
