Success in any role is a function of ability, personality and motivation. The original MAPP model addresses the latter two characteristics.

However, considerable research over the past three decades has highlighted the case for a subset of personality characteristics that are often referred to as Emotional Intelligence.

It is often noted that some people of high ability (intelligence) fail to perform as effectively as their cognitive skills might predict that they would. This gap between ability and performance can be accounted for by personality and motivational variables, and within the first of these, by traits that impact upon the capability to identify, assess and manage one’s own emotions and, by extension, the emotions of others.

MAPP-EI was therefore developed as a complementary questionnaire to MAPP. It is not intended to be a replacement, but to be used alongside the main instrument, particularly in development settings.

Informed by the work of leading researchers such as Goleman, and refined by our experience in personality assessment over 35 years, MAPP-EI provides an assessment of self-awareness, self-control, self-direction, awareness of others and relationships with others.
