Which of the following are true of the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT)?
(1) It consists of eight tasks, including two tasks for each branch of the EI model
(2) MSCEIT correlates moderately with verbal intelligence
(3) MSCEIT correlates highly with Big-Five personality dimensions of Openness and Agreeableness
(4) It is based on traits model of EI and can be measured by Likert-scale
Answer: B
Statements (1) and (2) are true, so the answer is (1) and (2) only.
The MSCEIT measures emotional intelligence as an ability, using eight tasks, two for each of the four branches of the Mayer-Salovey model: perceiving, using, understanding and managing emotions (1). Its scores correlate moderately with verbal intelligence, as an ability measure should (2).
Statement (3) is false: the MSCEIT correlates only weakly with the Big Five personality traits, which is one of the arguments that it measures something distinct from personality. Statement (4) is false: it is based on the ability model of EI and is scored against right answers, not the trait model measured by Likert-type self-report scales.
