The COMET/EQ questionnaire was originally developed as a research tool and as a demonstration of the power and accuracy of jobEQ's COMET system. Our clients liked the EQ test so much, they began requesting to use it for their organizations. It began to have a life of it's own, and now the COMET/EQ is available for all of our partners and clients to purchase.

We recommend using this questionnaire in 360° feedback mode (rather than just self-assessment). Therefor do NOT recommend this questionnaire for recruiting purposes. For recruitment, jobEQ recommends that you test for attitude, values and competencies observed from the top performers holding the position you are recruiting or assessing for.
