New research demonstrates lack of incremental validity for EI measurement.
October 2006
New research to be published by Rachel Herbert and Stephen Woods at the University of Nottingham has thrown light on the relative value of making predictions about a candidate's job performance from measures of personality and measures of emotional intelligence. In their study they used over 100 law firm administrators, supervisors, and specialist consultants and asked them to complete Quintax and a measure of 'Emotional Intelligence'. They found that Quintax predicted job performance ratings for the sample to a statistically significant degree, and when they looked to see if their overall measure of EI could add anything to this, they found that it could not. Their evidence suggests that for predictive purposes EI may simply be 'personality repackaged', or old wine in new bottles. If you have access to a good 'Big 5' personality measure like Quintax your prediction of candidates' job performance is unlikely to be improved by EI measurement. Further information about the study can be obtained from Dr Woods - email at

FREE Quintax Workshop at 2007 DOP Conference
September 2006
SR&A will be presenting a one day FREE Quintax workshop at the DOP Conference in January 2007. This is aimed at people who have Level A or equivalent as a minimum, who want to gain some understanding of the Quintax model and approach, and some training that counts towards BPS Level B. It can also be attended by people already qualified at Level B who would like to convert to Quintax or gain a Level B+ certificate from the BPS. In the case of Level B qualified delegates, the day will be treated as a basis for becoming a Quintax Authorised User.
If you would like to discuss the workshop aims in terms of your needs, what it leads to in terms of Quintax User status, or how it contributes towards BPS certification, please call either Stuart Robertson or Derek Wilkie on 0161 877 3277.

SR&A Poster Presentation at the January 2006 DOP Conference
December 2005
SR&A have a poster presentation at the forthcoming BPS DOP Conference in Glasgow. 'Images of Competency: Self Report, Assessment Centre, 360 degree, and Personality Perspectives' (Wilkie, Robertson, & Allan 2005) describes some assessment centre work done with a group of civil servants relating together different types of evidence on competency. It also presents some exciting evidence on the criterion-related validity of Quintax, our own personality measure used in the study. Copies of the paper will be available on our stand (see below) and later as a download on this site.
