Together, scientists from the Wharton School of Business and the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence are designing a tool to both measure and teach emotional intelligence. Specifically, this open-source assessment will be used to measure people’s ability to recognize emotional expressions in the face and voice. In the future, we may use the footage to design games and other learning tools to help people better understand emotions. Thank you for your consideration. We hope to work with you soon.
