What the BlueEQ assessment measures
BlueEQ assesses five emotional intelligence skills across 25 dimensions. Results identify strengths and development areas in how people understand emotions, manage reactions, and interact with others.
Self-Awareness
Recognize emotions, understand personal motivations, and reflect on how behavior affects others.
Self-Regard
Value personal strengths and abilities, maintain confidence, and stay motivated through challenges.
Self-Control
Manage emotional reactions, pause before acting, and respond constructively under pressure.
Social Perception
Notice emotional cues, consider others’ perspectives, and check assumptions about what they’re feeling.
Social Effectiveness
Use emotional understanding to navigate conflict, take responsibility, and build productive relationships.

Understand what BlueEQ scores mean
BlueEQ provides an overall emotional intelligence score and scores across five skills. Labels such as Strength factor and Growth factor highlight areas to build on and opportunities to develop.
Each person can use their results to choose one or two areas to focus on, such as managing reactions under pressure or understanding another person’s perspective.
The scores provide a starting point for development. They aren’t a performance rating, and they stay private in Cloverleaf.
Bring BlueEQ into leadership and team development
Develop managers
Give first-time managers a starting point for understanding their own reactions as they take on feedback, delegation, and conflict.
Leadership programs
Pair BlueEQ with development priorities and use Cloverleaf coaching to follow through between sessions.
EQ workshops
Build sessions around active listening, feedback, or conflict. Employees use their private BlueEQ insights to choose what they want to develop.
Navigate Change
Support employees in managing their own reactions to uncertainty and preparing to discuss concerns, changing responsibilities, and expectations.
