This script implements the Self Report Emotional Intelligence Test (SREIT) - also referred to as the the Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scales (SEIS)/Schutte Self Report Emotional Intelligence Test (SSEIT)-
As described in:
Schutte, N.S., Malouff, J.M., Hall, L.E., Haggerty, D.J., Cooper, J.T., Golden, C.J., & Dornheim, L. (1998). Development and validation of a measure of emotional intelligence. Personality and Individual Differences, 25, 167-177.
Normed Data based on: Nicola S. Schutte , John M. Malouff , Chad Bobik , Tracie D. Coston , Cyndy Greeson , Christina Jedlicka , Emily Rhodes & Greta Wendorf (2001). Emotional Intelligence and Interpersonal Relations, The Journal of Social Psychology, 141:4, 523-536, DOI: 10.1080/00224540109600569

3 minutes
Participants work on 33 likert-type questions with 5 answer choices.
Surveypage instructions can be edited under Editable Parameters -> parameters.pageinstructions
NORMED DATA (see Schutte et al, 2001)
Emotional Intelligence:
mean SD N
Exp1 126.88 12.18 24
Exp2 142.51 9.46 37
Exp3 132.84 12.37 77
Exp4 131.61 14.23 38
Exp5 131.56 15.67 43
total N 219
=> weighted Mean = 133.36 => estimate for population mean for Emotional Intelligence Score
=> weighted SD = 12.83 => estimate for population standard deviation of Emotional Intelligence Scores
• 33 questions with 5-point Likert scales
1 = "Strongly\nDisagree"
2 = "Disagree"
3 = "Neither Agree nor Disagree"
4 = "Agree"
5 = "Strongly\nAgree"
for reversed questions (5, 28, 33) the scoring is reversed.
• The individual anchors (and number of anchors) can be edited under section QUESTIONS
(the changes need to be made for each radiobutton question). Only anchor 1 and 5
are original (the middle anchors were filled it by Millisecond).
• a totalscore is calculated and saved in the summary data file
• by default the questions are required to answer; to change go to section QUESTIONS
