EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE TEST
                                  (EQ-C/A)
___________________________________________________________________

 Emotional Intelligence Test for Children and Adolescents (EQ-C/A)  was
 developed in 1998 by C. Alan Hopewell, Ph.D., ABPP, from the  Dallas
 Neuropsychiatric Institute in Dallas, Texas. The instrument and  the
 computerized comprehensive interpretive profile are published by  the
 IMH-Network, Ltd., P.O. Box 578, Poway, CA 92074-0578.

 This test is based on results of the most up-to-date scientific research
 on the relationship between emotionality, cognition, and behavior in
 children and adolescents. It is a scientifically validated instrument with
 a large empirical base. It is also the only one currently available which
 addresses the issues of both the emotional and social intelligence and
 competence of a young individual. These features are manifested early by
 the child both at home and in a classroom, and in social and interpersonal
 interactions and relationships as well.

 The test incorporates the ratings of those who work with and have  the
 best and most immediate knowledge of the young individual, such as
 teachers, guardians, parents, caregivers, mental health experts, etc. The
 primary focus of the test is an assessment of a child's, or an
 adolescent's emotional and/or behavioral disturbance(s). Additionally, the
 test provides step-by-step professional, practical, and very
 well-structured guidelines for treatment and management of the
 child/adolescent. Such steps and recommendations are valuable guides in
 the development of intervention and management strategies which help the
 individual "grow" emotionally and socially.

 Results of such interventions and progress are well documented in
 literature and they have shown individuals to become:

     - more responsible and assertive
     - more popular and outgoing
     - more prosocial and helping
     - develop better understanding of others
     - more considerate and concerned
     - able to demonstrate better prosocial problem solving
     - more harmonious and more "democratic"
     - able to demonstrate better conflict resolution
     - able to demonstrate better self control
     - capable of more thinking before acting
     - increased frustration tolerance
     - more task orientation
     - able to demonstrate better peer relationships and sociability
     - more positive attachment to family and school
     - more able to resist drug use and delinquency
     - able to achieve better standardized test scores, and
     - able to demonstrate less impulsivity and self-destructive
       tendencies.

 EQ-C/A consists of 130 multiple choice items which are answered by  a
 child's or adolescent's parent, caregiver, counselor, teacher, or a
 therapist. The approximate administration time is 30-45 minutes in a
 single or a group form. No known test saturation effects exist allowing
 for repeated administrations at regular rehabilitative intervals.
