What does the eqflow® emotional intelligence assessment measure?
eqflow® measures five observable dimensions of emotional and social intelligence at work: Emotional Awareness, Emotional Regulation, Self-Confidence, Social Awareness and Regard for Others. It compares how these behaviours are used day-to-day and under pressure, helping people and organisations recognise strengths, underused capability and potential overuse.
The result is a practical development focus for leadership, teamwork, coaching and professional growth.
The five dimensions measured by eqflow®
eqflow® treats emotional and social intelligence as capabilities that can be developed.
It measures five dimensions through observable workplace behaviour.

Social Awareness
Notice emotions and group dynamicsSocial Awareness
Observes and interprets the emotions, needs and social signals of others. Notices changes in mood, behaviour and group dynamics.

How does the eqflow® emotional intelligence assessment work?
eqflow® is an online workplace assessment that measures five observable dimensions of emotional and social intelligence. Most people complete it in approximately 11 minutes.
What makes eqflow® different?
Two behavioural states: eqflow® compares how each dimension is typically used day-to-day and how it is used under pressure.
Four practical zones: results show whether behaviour is Underusing, operating from a Solid Base, in the Flow Zone or Overusing.
Actionable insight: the report identifies strengths, underused capability and potential overuse, creating a practical focus for reflection, coaching and development.
What does the eqflow® report show?
The individual report brings the five dimensions together in one clear behavioural profile. It shows how behaviour may change under pressure and where each dimension sits across the four practical zones.
The report highlights:
• day-to-day and under-pressure differences;
• strengths and underused capability;
• areas where behaviour may become overused or less flexible.
The standard eqflow® assessment includes an individual report. Interpretation feedback is available as an additional service.
Where can eqflow® be used?
eqflow® can support development wherever emotional and social intelligence influence workplace behaviour, relationships and performance.
Four Uses:
Leadership development
Helps leaders understand how their emotional and social behaviour may support or limit their effectiveness, particularly under pressure.
Coaching and professional development
Provides a practical starting point for reflection, feedback and focused behavioural development.
Team development
Helps people explore how emotional awareness, regulation, confidence, social awareness and regard for others influence the way they work together.
Recruitment and selection
Can add behavioural insight to a broader selection process when used alongside interviews, experience, capability evidence and other relevant information.
Evidence-led, practical and development-focused
eqflow® is a normative psychometric assessment designed for workplace use. It focuses on observable behaviour across emotional and social intelligence and compares how behaviour is expressed day-to-day and under pressure.
The assessment is designed to support informed development conversations rather than label people or define their potential. Results should be considered alongside role context, experience, performance information and other relevant evidence.
flowprofiler® treats every capability measured by eqflow® as something a willing person can strengthen through awareness, practice and feedback.
❝Love the flowprofiler diagnostic instrument. It has become an important tool in my coaching and development work. The flowprofiler interpreter training is excellent and their support team is highly responsive and very supportive.❞
❝The course was great. Very easy to follow and Beck is terrific.❞
❝Such a great tool – replaces 3 other assessments I’ve been using!
❝I really enjoyed flowprofiler®. I think it is brilliant! flowprofiler® is a journey not just a one-off training session.❞
❝While I have never been an ardent fan of any assessment, I have unconsciously become one as I have watched the awareness and growth I have experienced as well with every individual , leader and team who I have had the privilege to work with. A straight forward tool that gives depth and meaning for anyone who wants to live an optimal life❞
❝Having participated in a number of similar programs, I found flowprofiler® to be one of the best, if not the best, I have done thus far. The questions posed to create your profile are not dissimilar to other programs but responding from the perspective of two different mindsets is what differentiates flowprofiler®. This allows for interesting and insightful discussions when reviewing the results and your profile. Personally, I found my own results very close to how I perceive myself and to how others perceive me, which makes the suggestions on how to ‘bend and flex’ to interact with others that much more useful. A great system, highly recommended!❞
❝We increased our retention of candidates in the first 6 weeks from 50% to 80% using this system.❞
❝flowprofiler® can really help people not only in their work life but outside of work too. I really believe that this is a great thing!❞
❝My experience of flowprofiler® has been overwhelmingly positive. My report helped me to understand much more about myself, highlighted specific dimensions I could work on in my own development while supporting others with theirs. I would highly recommend flowprofiler® for Personal, Team and Leadership Development.❞
❝The team session for resilienceflow® was very useful because the whole company was able to discuss change. The Zoom breakout rooms really allowed for in-depth dialogue and opened discussions that would not have normally been broached.❞
❝Personally, I thought flowprofiler® was great. It was me; I was reading about me on a page!❞
❝Taking the flowprofiler® assessments, I had the opportunity to become more aware of my strengths and was able to give myself the chance to work on elements of myself that I want to improve through the awareness created through the assessments. I find myself using skills that I have gained through flowprofiler® in my work and personal life.❞
❝The training was informative, well paced and covered the critical points succinctly. There was a lot of information that needed to be covered and the individual reports are also very lengthy, however it was pleasing to be able to review assessments (at a high level) and be able to properly interpret the results. Beck’s delivery of the material was engaging, the language appropriate for the audience and the general flow of the training and timing for breaks and testing was well judged. Iain’s contributions supported the training very well and again, language was well chosen for the audience.❞
❝A very insightful tool. The results helped me understand how I react to certain work situations both day to day and under pressure. I found the development report particularly useful to build an action plan for activating certain behaviours of underuse and being mindful of spikes in other behaviours.❞
❝We are excited and thrilled to share this new tool to support people grow, learn and give their best in their lives, personally and professionally. We believe everyone should have the opportunity to evolve and be the best version of themselves. Better people will make this a better world.❞
❝You need to face your “real self” when you feel you need to do something for change. For the first step, you need to grasp where you currently stand. The results of flowprofiler® revealed “me” and I could have a solid thought about what to do from tomorrow.❞
❝Great tool to be able to pinpoint the strengths and weaknesses of colleagues for recruitment and also once within the business to determine growth areas. Very accurate and insightful.❞
❝We increased our retention when onboarding candidates from 50% to 80% using flowprofiler®❞
❝It is an amazing tool to use.❞
“Working with flowprofiler® has helped us truly live our value of Grow & Evolve.
They’ve supported us in spotting emerging leaders, leaning into our strengths, and building the emotional awareness to work better together.

❝Not only do you learn new ways to navigate your team through tricky situations you learn more about how your team tick. I’m glad I was introduced to Beck and Iain Chalmers. I’m a better GM because of the time I spent learning from you – thank you.❞
