Assessment

What is it?

Emotify is a cutting-edge, game-based assessment designed to measure emotional intelligence, a key skill that sets high performers apart in today’s workplace. Emotional intelligence (EI) is critical for roles that require interpersonal skills, collaboration, and leadership. Emotify evaluates a candidate’s ability to perceive, understand, and manage emotions—skills essential for success in managerial, sales, customer service, and leadership roles.

The assessment uses interactive, job-relevant scenarios to immerse candidates in emotional challenges, providing a modern and engaging experience. Emotify measures emotional perception, emotional understanding, and emotion management through three interactive games, offering employers valuable insights into a candidate's emotional intelligence. The test is designed to deliver a quick and enjoyable candidate experience, making it easier to identify emotionally intelligent individuals who are more likely to excel in collaborative and leadership roles.

Measurement Objectives

Emotify assesses three key components of emotional intelligence:

  • Emotional Perception: The ability to identify and decode emotional signals, especially from facial expressions.
  • Emotional Understanding: The skill of predicting emotional consequences in various situations.
  • Emotion Management: The capacity to choose the best responses in emotionally charged scenarios.

These abilities help predict how well a candidate can handle emotional challenges at work, making them vital for roles that require strong interpersonal relationships and emotional labor.

Use

Emotify is recommended for roles where emotional intelligence is crucial, such as managers, sales professionals, customer service representatives, and future leaders. It is ideal for evaluating candidates in graduate recruitment or any position requiring strong interpersonal skills, teamwork, and leadership capabilities. By incorporating Emotify into the recruitment process, employers can objectively assess a candidate’s emotional intelligence, providing deeper insights into their ability to collaborate, manage conflicts, and lead effectively. The assessment is based on real-life work scenarios, creating a positive, job-relevant experience for candidates while helping employers make more informed, data-driven hiring decisions.

Results

Emotify results are shown as percentile rankings for three emotional intelligence areas: perception, understanding, and management. These scores offer employers a clear, data-driven view of each candidate’s emotional intelligence, enabling objective comparisons. Detailed insights highlight strengths in interpersonal skills, leadership, and emotional regulation, helping employers identify top candidates for emotionally demanding roles.
