Assessments
As workplaces continue to evolve, interpersonal skills are increasingly becoming essential for career progress in all fields. That’s why it’s important to understand, develop, and improve your emotional intelligence (EQ).
To help you with this, the alumni UBC Careers team is pleased to offer EQ assessments, known as the Emotional Capital Report (ECR), by the RocheMartin Group. The ECRs are the world’s most advanced assessments for measuring and developing EQ. Over 3,500 organizations worldwide use them, and alumni UBC is the first North American alumni association to offer RocheMartin group assessments to a broad alumni group.

ECR Self-Assessments include a narrative description associated with each score, coaching strategies for development, and a 19-page action plan. A certified practitioner will provide you with your assessment during a 50-minute virtual one-on-one debriefing coaching session.
Your total time commitment will be about one hour.

Frequently asked questions
What is emotional intelligence (EQ)?
Emotional intelligence (also known as emotional quotient or EQ) focuses on the ability to manage and understand one’s own emotional state as well as those of others. It enables individuals to build stronger relationships, handle challenging situations, achieve career and personal goals, and succeed at school and work.
EQ involves emotional regulation and the ability to calm the mind in order to behave in creative and constructive ways, and make informed decisions. EQ also provides a framework for building cultures that can protect mental health and wellbeing in the workplace.
What EQ assessments are available to UBC alumni?
alumni UBC will be offering EQ assessments called the Emotional Capital Report (ECR) Self, created by the RocheMartin Group. These assessments are based on more than 15 years of scientific analysis and research on EQ and organizational behavior.
ECR Self are assessments that measure leadership behaviours against 10 emotional and social competencies. These reports can provide:
- descriptions of leadership behaviours associated with each score;
- coaching strategies for developing greater EQ and leadership abilities;
- a 19-page action plan to design a personal blueprint to build emotional capital (which is the accumulation of emotional and social skills).
Who are the certified practitioners who will debrief my assessment?
Both Nikola Girke and Laura Dowling will be debriefing and leading one-on-one coaching sessions with UBC alumni. Both of these practitioners have been trained by the RocheMartin Group and are experienced coaches who can help individuals navigate the ECR Self-Assessment.
Who are these assessments for?
These assessments are beneficial for:
- anyone open to learning and curious about their own EQ and how to achieve their full potential;
- anyone interested in increasing self-awareness, managing their own emotions, understanding others, and improving their ability to speak about themselves in interviews or performance reviews;
- managers who lead teams or work with cross-functional teams;
- leaders seeking to develop their EQ and improve decision-making during ambiguous or complex situations.
TESTIMONIALS
“I’ve been fortunate to take many EQ assessments in my lifetime and nothing compares to the ECR self-assessment. The assessment is impactful and the customized action plan offers practical tips and guidance to better understand my own EQ. I highly recommend this assessment to anyone, at any stage of their career. The comprehensive report has a clear strategy to develop my EQ and in bite size, manageable daily practices that, I hope, will have a lasting impact on myself and others.” – Nicole, BA’11
“The EQ assessment was incredibly valuable, providing significant insights into my personal EQ. The ECR goes into great detail on each competency and gives real understanding of my strengths and weaknesses. I look forward to taking what I learned through my assessment and debrief and applying it to my life at both work and at home.”
