Bring the EQ (Emotional Intelligence) to your students through OneRoster in 2 minutes
EQ through OneRoster uses Goleman's four-domain framework (self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship management) on a 0-100 scale per domain — a common vocabulary for an SEL unit rather than a screen. Once your district's OneRoster connection is registered, a counselor assigns the test to any synced class — the same classes and enrollments your rostering source (ClassLink, Feide, Skolfederation, VIDIS, or your SIS's own OneRoster export) already defines. At 2 minutes it is short enough to run alongside a single SEL lesson with time left for discussion.
Validity
Emotional intelligence in a school context is taught as a skill, not screened as a gate — there is no pass/fail band on this page. Goleman's four-domain framework (self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship management) gives counselors a shared vocabulary for SEL (social-emotional-learning) conversations; published predictive validity for academic outcomes is modest and secondary to its use as a reflection tool.
Assign the EQ (Emotional Intelligence) through OneRoster
From OneRoster admin to first scored student.
- 1
Connect OneRoster
Set up the OneRoster connection at the organisation level — see the OneRoster integration page for the exact steps for your connector.
- 2
Assign EQ (Emotional Intelligence) to a class or cohort
Once OneRoster is connected, a counselor assigns EQ (Emotional Intelligence) to a specific class or cohort rather than inviting students one by one.
- 3
Students complete the assessment
Students complete the 2-minute form on any device; a counselor sees completion status per class in real time.
- 4
Review results as a class summary
Individual results and a class-level summary land in the counselor dashboard — useful for a group debrief or one-on-one advising conversation.
Sample score envelope
Generated by the same normalizer that serves your OneRoster connector, so the field names and types below are the ones you will parse. The student and the answers are a worked example; the numbers are illustrative, not a benchmark.
dimensions[].score is 0–100 within this test’s own scale. It is safe to rank students on one dimension of one test, and it is not a percentile unless metadata.score_metric says so — today only Big Five publishes percentiles, against norms whose sample size and pull date travel in the same envelope. Scores from two different tests are not comparable to each other.

RIASEC (Holland Codes)
career interest profiler
RIASEC's strongest evidence base is exactly this use case — school and career counseling, not hiring. Holland's six-type model predicts satisfaction and person-environment fit for a chosen path (Tracey & Rounds, 1993); a meta-analysis of 27 studies finds person-environment congruence correlates with tenure and satisfaction (Tranberg, Slane & Ekeberg, 1993, r ≈ .15-.20). It was never validated as, and is not used here as, a hiring or admissions screen.

Career Match (Mini RIASEC)
quick career interest screener
Career Match is JobCannon's 12-item forced-choice Mini RIASEC — a fast on-ramp to the same six-type Holland framework, not a shorter substitute for its validity evidence. Use it for a first pass inside a single class period; the full 60-item RIASEC is the instrument to reach for when a counselor needs the finer-grained three-letter code for course or pathway planning.

Big Five (OCEAN)
self-awareness / personality profile
In a school setting, Big Five is a self-awareness and study-habits framing tool, not a predictive-performance instrument the way it is marketed to employers elsewhere on this site. Conscientiousness has the strongest published link to academic outcomes among the five traits (Poropat, 2009 meta-analysis, k=80, corrected ρ ≈ .19-.22 with GPA).

Frequently asked
Is this the same EQ test sold to employers on this site?+
Same instrument and scoring, different framing: here it supports an SEL unit or advisory conversation, with no pass/fail band and no hiring context anywhere in the copy or the result.
How long does EQ take?+
Median completion is 2 minutes on JobCannon's 10-item self-report form.
Which rostering systems does this work with?+
Any OneRoster 1.1/1.2-conformant source — ClassLink, Feide, Skolfederation, VIDIS, the Japan OneRoster profile, or an SIS exposing its own OneRoster feed. One connection, not a separate integration per system.
What does this cost the district?+
Sandbox invitations send no email and count toward no quota. There is no separate per-connector fee — SSO and rostering are a platform capability across every institutional tier. District-wide assessment licensing (priced per enrolled student for larger districts) is quoted separately; talk to us rather than assuming a self-serve tier price covers it.
