BEHAVIORAL EQ®: Model Overview

TRACOM developed its EQ training model to align with the company’s previous work and research in the areas of behavior and interpersonal effectiveness. In this regard, we relied on our own research as well as the most up-to-date research from the EQ field. We researched and designed our model to measure two distinct concepts: emotional intelligence and behavioral intelligence.
Based on this research, TRACOM’s EQ training model measures both the awareness and understanding of emotions, as well as the management of behavior.
