There are two main problems with the Goleman ECI 360 test and the Bar-On EQi tests which Daus and Ashkanasy criticize in the above quote. First, they are not testing a person's actual ability. They are "self-report" tests, or they get responses from others, but they are not direct tests of ability or potential. Second, I and most academic reviewers believe they are measuring aspects of a person's personality and behavior which have already been measured with existing personality tests.
