Scoring the TEIQue
Important notice: Any commercial or quasi-commercial usage of the materials or systems in this website is strictly prohibited and illegal. We are now soliciting donations to support the maintenance of the website and the work of the lab, more generally. We suggest a donation of £49.99 for usage and/or scoring of the TEIQue and a donation of £29.99 for usage and/or scoring of the TEIQue-SF. Please do not “grab and run” – make a donation according to your means and taking into account the insight, expertise, and effort that has gone into developing the materials and services that we are providing to you. You will find the donation button (“Support KVP lab”) in the banner of the main page (www.psychometriclab.com).
TEIQue and TEIQue-SF
It is now possible to score your TEIQue datasets (TEIQue and TEIQue-SF) automatically on-line. The scoring engine is located at the bottom of the website. Below, you will find detailed directions for using it. Follow these directions very carefully to avoid mis-scoring your data. Please do not email us with requests for additional directions unless absolutely necessary.
How to use the TEIQue scoring engine:
1. Download the appropriate Excel file (TEIQue or TEIQue-SF). You must use the system’s Excel template to enter your data, rather than create your own.
2. Enter your data into the template.
- You must ensure that your dataset does not have missing values or data entry errors.
- All TEIQue responses must range between 1 and 7. No other numbers or decimals are allowed.
- The scoring engine does not handle missing values. Any missing values should be replaced with the middle value 4, except for cases where more than 15% of the values are missing. We recommend that such cases be dropped from the file. Alternatively, if you use missing value imputation procedures, ensure that they do not introduce decimals to the file.
3. Once you have processed your file correctly upload it to the scoring engine, which will produce a fully scored Excel file, including the Cronbach alphas for all TEIQue variables.
4. If you experience any problems with the scoring engine, please report them in the comments. Please note that this is solely to help us monitor the engine. It is unlikely that we will respond to individual queries if the engine is working correctly.
TEIQue 360°
TEIQue 360°
The TEIQue 360° has to be scored at our end. Enter your data into the SPSS template here and email the file to this address.
TEIQue 360°-SF
The TEIQue 360°-SF can be scored according to the scoring key of the TEIQue-SF, which can be accessed from here.
TEIQue 360°-FB
The TEIQue 360°-FB provides direct ratings on the 15 trait EI facets, so it does not require a scoring key, except if you’d also like to group the facets into the four trait EI factors (Well-being, Self-control, Emotionality, and Sociability) in which case, please follow the key below. You can derive a total score on the TEIQue 360°-FB simply by summing up the ratings on the 15 facets and dividing by 15.
Welbeing = (hap+opt+est)/3 .
Self-control = (con+imp+str)/3 .
Emotionality = (emp+per+exp+rel)/4 .
Sociability = (man+ass+soc)/3 .
Other TEIQue forms
At present, all other TEIQue forms will have to be scored at our end. If you are using a form that cannot be scored on-line, please email here for directions. Please note that we do not score single-case files nor do we provide feedback reports or access to norms free of charge. Also note that we will only score a single file per project. We will only score batches of additional responses, pilots, late questionnaires, for a fee.

Hello, this is an Excel issue. You need to click “Enable editing in Excel”
Anna
Hello,
I have clicked enable editing on excel and am still not getting any alpha values for the TRIQue-SF. I don’t understand how I could be incorrectly entering the data. HELP!
admin
Dear Anna,
It is called the TEIQue-SF. I hope your data entry is free of such errors.
Dashan Turnerr
How would you score a group of 16 people? Do you have to do this individually?
admin
No, you do not need to do score individually.
admin
Link works – thank you.
admin
I’m afraid we cannot provide such support. Please follow scoring instructions carefully and, if necessary, request support from your organization’s statistician/psychometrician.

Hello. Where can I find the Excel template for the short form? I can’t seem to find the orange box that is referenced in the instructions.
admin
Please check at the bottom of the website. The box is no longer orange after the website upgrade, so we will fix this asap. Thank you.
Senthil Subramanian
I have tried uploading the Short Form results. But it keeps ending in an error.
admin
Most likely, you have errors in your data entry. Please check the instructions again carefully.

Hello,
To whom it concerns,
I wanted to ask I saw that when is the time, we have to download the excel form and attached it at the end of the page, that it says calculate.
However, I have two questions, firstly the scale is from 1 Completely Disagree to 7 Completely Agree, all the other number have no labelled and I worried that my participants will not be able to distinguish what the other numbers mean in terms of a variation of the statements. So what should be done for that? Can I label for example 2= Disagree?
Also, after the engine have calculated my results will I be able to make inferences about low or high trait EI? I will use the 30 questions instead of the long version because I have a lot of participants and it will be hard for them to reply to all.
How will I know which response stands for which facets and if they had a low or high trait?
Thanks.
admin
It’s up to you to label the Likert scale if you wish. We have never found it necessary in our research. With respect to your other question, please check the FAQ.
Efstratios Boubouras
Hello. the blue box at the bottom of the website does not work. I would like to score a TEIQue full form file
admin
Perhaps this was a connection issue. Please try again and it should work fine.

Hi ,
I can’t seem to find the scoring excel file at the bottom of the website for the TEIQue-SF?
admin
You need to download it by clicking on the relevant button. Please check and try again. Thank you.
Joseph Qualls
Question #78 on the TEIQue reads “take” a decision, and I believe should read “make” a decision?
admin
Thank you. It is ‘take’, which is as good as ‘make’.
Carlos Sepulveda
How do I know under which Facet any of the questions fall on?

Please give me clarification. The TEIQue SF 360 can only be scored by you. I downloaded the template. What application do I need to use to open it?
Thank you for your assistance.

Which link is that? Please send it so we can check.
Amna Hafeez
Hello. I found an article in which a table showed 9 facets for EI of children whereas there are 15 for adults (table in the same article). so if I use the Adolescent short-form, are those 30 questions based on the 9 facets or the 15 facets?
I will be grateful for your response.
admin
The TEIQue-ASF is based on the sampling domain of trait EI in adults.

Aisha Kiggundu
To whom it may concern,
I am currently scoring the short form of teique and I have calculated the factor scores of the teique sf. But I don’t really understand what the following mean and so I can’t proceed with the scoring `var lab tot_tei ‘global trait emotional intelligence’.
TITLE ‘well_being’.
RELIABILITY
/VARIABLES= tei_5 tei_20 tei_9 tei_24 tei_12 tei_27
/FORMAT=NOLABELS
/SCALE(ALPHA)=ALL/MODEL=ALPHA
/SUMMARY=TOTAL.
I would really appreciate your help.
Thank you.
admin
Please contact the statistician/psychometrician in your organization for guidance.
Giuliana Lucci
Dear Sirs,
first of all thank you for your work.
I have tried to score my-own TEIQue (153 form -.xlsx file), but alphas in scoring sheet (.xls file) are all = 0.
I have checked each entered score (as number without decimals): there are no mistakes or missing values.
Further, maybe it could help knowing that scores of the single scales are reported with “.” (e.g., 3.5) as decimal separator, while alpha’s scores with “,” (e.g., 0,00).
I have, also, tried to open files both in Mac and in Windows.
Thank you veru much

admin
Thank you for your kind words. You may need to send in your dataset. We will be happy to have a look.
Anna Makin
Hi,
I am unsure what I am doing wrong as the alpha scores keep coming back as 0. I have checked my data many times, ensured that enable editing has been selected on excel. What else could be the issue? Please help.
admin
I don’t know. You need to send in your dataset.
Victoria
Do we have to reverse the score on certain questions before inputting them into Excel sheet?
admin
No you do not. The scoring engines reverse-scores automatically.
Giuliana Lucci
Dear Sirs,
thank you for you work.
I’m trying to calculate score of the full form, but the scoring file does not show Alphas (i.e., they are all =0,00)
Moreover, some cells result text-formatted, while some number-formatted.
Thank you for your help
admin
You need to enable Editing in Excel OR you have data entry errors OR you are trying to obtain alphas for a single or a very small number of cases.
Jessica
Hi. I have downloaded the 153 form and inputted my data. I have tried uploading the file to calculate the result, and I get the following message: Server Error in ‘/’ Application.
Specified named range ‘Infinity’ does not exist in the current workbook. Can you assist?
admin
Double-check your data entry.
BERNADETTE
Good Evening ,
May I know is the link working? I tried uploading my TEIQue SF data into the search engine. However, an error of connection timed out was given to me several times. I tried it several times before and checked for errors in my data file. Hope to hear from the admins soon!
Thank you
admin
This has now been fixed.
Thank you.
Ronald Gonzales
I get this message when after pressing the calculate results button: Server Error in ‘/’ Application.Could not load file or assembly ‘LinqToExcel’ or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.
Check the data entered and I have nothing invalid.
Your collaboration please.
admin
Because we had a problem with the server, which was swiftly fixed.
YIDAN DING
Once I uploaded the template with scores, I can receive the result documents automatically. Is the I data uploaded will be stored somewhere in the server? If this is true, how can I make sure these personal data (participant’s EI score) is confidential?
admin
The scoring engine does not accept or record participant names. May I remind you that the engine is to be used exclusively for academic research purposes.
YIDAN DING
Hi, once I uploaded the template file for scoring, is the data in the file will be stored somewhere in the server at the cloud?

You will get the results back immediately. Try and see.
Athanasia Ch
Hello!
First, I ’d like to thank you for providing TEIQue instruments for free as well as usable instructions. In my case, the TEIQue-SF 360º is suitable for my postgraduate diploma thesis on Emotional Intelligence (EI) and Transformational Leadership (TL).
I read that all TEIQue responses must range between 1 and 7. I was wondering, if I use a 5-degree scale instead of a 7-degree, will that affect reliability or validity of the test once I run the data on SPSS?
I’m wondering since I need to combine two measuring instruments (one for EI and one for TL) into one and the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire of Avolio & Bass (2004) which I ’m using for TL has a 5-degree scale.
Thank you for any support might be possible.
Best wishes,
Athanasia

“I read that all TEIQue responses must range between 1 and 7. I was wondering, if I use a 5-degree scale instead of a 7-degree, will that affect reliability or validity of the test once I run the data on SPSS?”
Yes, it might affect them, so please use the original response scale as given. You should be able to combine instruments with different response scales very easily.
Diane
I would like to know what are the scores we get when we send the spss file ? Distribution of the scores for each factor ? Can you compare pre and post scores to see if a training was helpful for participants?
admin
They are raw (non-normed) scores. Yes, you can compare them in pre/post designs
Jenny Hermes
Hi, can I send you two tests and you will analyze them and send me the results or how does it work? And if yes, how much is it? Thank you!

Hello there!
Gratitude for access to such good material. I would love to make a donation but would want some more time to be able to. Apologies for this.
admin
Thank you for your kind words and support
Kate
Thank you for providing this wonderful research resource. I just processed my TEIQue-SF and my results spreadsheet has an extra row of data (in other words, my data spreadsheet has 99 observations and my results spreadsheet has 100 rows of EI data). Does this indicate a problem?
admin
You need to download the right template for the version of the TEIQue you have used (TEIQue or TEIQue-SF)
Sara Dexter
I tried entering scores using your Exsel sheet for the SF (30 item) and got this message. Please advise if it is an error on my part or if it is server error . Thank you.

Hi Admin
Hope you keeping well. Thank you for all these resources. They are very useful!
I am doing a test review for educational purposes and I just wanted to find out the cut-off points for the 153 item TEIQue. What constitutes a high score, average score and low score? How do I know whether a persons score means that they have high trait EI etc? I am trying to look at scores from a criterion-referenced point of view.
Thank you
admin

Do I need to upload two separate Excel files for the TEIQue 360? One file for the target individual and one file for those evaluating the target individual?
admin
Try the system and see how it works. Thanky you.
Andri Hadjimarkou
Hello,
Before I upload my results (form 30) to calculate the score, do I need to modify reverse items according to:
Scoring key: Reverse-score the following items and then sum up all responses
16, 2, 18, 4, 5, 7, 22, 8, 10, 25, 26, 12, 13, 28, 14
or is it included in the process of the automatic calculation?
admin
You do not need to reverse-score as the engine does this for you.
Angel
I calculated the scores from TEIQue-ASF (30 items) using your engine. There are five columns in the excel that represent well-being, self-control, emotionality, sociability, and total.. so I’m just wondering, is the ‘total’ column there is the Global Trait EI?
admin
Yes it is
Good luck and thank you
Siti
i have uploaded my data to the template given. next step is upload it to scoring engine. where is scoring engine?

Hi!
I uploaded the file with my dataset but when I click on “Calculate Result”, I also get a 404 error page. 🙁 Is there anything I can do?
Thank you!
admin
Most likely a data entry error – please retry following all instructions very carefully because the slightest error can crash the engine.
Aiden Carthy
Hello,
I’m getting the same error message as Naddine above. I’ve checked and there no issues with the dataset I’m using (it’s a very small dataset) – no blank cells, all steps have been followed correctly. I’ve also tried downloading the scoring engine again and have also tried using a separate laptop but no matter what I do, I still get the same error message (404). If you have any suggestions as to what the issue might be, that would be great.
Thank you 🙂
Aiden.
admin
Because of upgrading site security – now fixed. Thank you
Nathan
Hi, it seems my comment has been removed before publishing, so I am not sure if the Admin read it. To reiterate, I am experiencing the same issue as naddine luci. After some testing, the 404 page still occurs even with one row of data in the exact format you provide down below for TEIQUE-SF. Once again, it has no missing data, no values outside of range 1-7, no name changes in the columns nor the file itself.
Now, I am not sure why my comment has been deleted, but I hope this helps and that it can be fixed soon. Thank you in advance!
admin
Because of upgrading site security – now fixed. Thank you. Any more problems, email admin@teique.com.

Hi Admin,
Big Fan and I love your responses 🙂
I’ll cut to the chase, I’m doing a Thesis on EI and Employee Engagement, the College uses SPSS software and I’m no way IT, do I need SPSS ? Second and final question, I can’t see Global Trait score on my excel file, it only gives results of 4 and a Total…(is the total = to Global Trait or am I total stupid).
Again big time fan
admin
Total is global.
Thank you and good luck
Salwa
Dear Admin,
Thank you for this valuable resources.
If I am using the TEIsf, how can I know which questions corresponds to specific facets?
Also, after getting the results, it will give me the score of each facet?
Thank you.
