DECQ® Assessment
Benchmarking You and Your Team
The Developing Emotional Competency Questionnaire® provides 170+ benchmarks so you develop against real gaps, not guesswork.
One instrument. Three perspectives — Individual, Team, and Corporate Family®. Included with Scholar membership and organization programs.
Three perspectives
Individual, Team, and Corporate Family®
- 01
Individual
Personal Competence and Social Competence — the inner habits and relational skill that shape how you lead.
- 02
Team
Teams measure emotional competency by how people communicate, trust one another, and experience shared purpose.
- 03
Corporate Family®
Culture across the organization: alignment, attunement, and the conditions for high performance.
How it orients
Personal and Social Competence
The DECQ® reads emotional competency the way leaders actually work — first in the person, then in the Team.
- 01
Personal Competence
Self-awareness and self-management — how a leader recognizes and steadies their own emotions under pressure.
- 02
Social Competence
Social awareness and relationship skill — how a leader reads the room, earns trust, and moves people.
- 03
How teams measure it
A team’s emotional competency shows up in communication, trust, and shared purpose — the experience members have of one another, not one person’s self-report alone.
