++ A "Simplified English" version of the iea (iea-SE) is also available to professionals working with individuals who have a limited understanding of English. The rating instructions, along with the twenty-six items probing various behaviors, use phrasing (4th grade level) to make it easier for those with a limited English vocabulary to complete the self-assessment on-line.
The written reports that result from the ratings, however, contain the same level of language proficiency (i.e. 9th grade) as the standard iea. The reports are comprehensive and extensive and may require some assistance in reading certain portions of the text.
Although we recommend using the standard iea whenever possible, both forms produce equally reliable results.
If you are interested in using the "Simplified English" version, select iea-SE when ordering.

Ideally, the individuals you choose to rate have a relationship not only to you but also with each other.
The results of your ratings are presented in a comprehensive report that has a visual display of results for each person rated with a detailed description of what characteristics are associated with the person/image from your perception. The report can also provide information on how a most effective leader would choose to interact with each person, and what you might do differently to increase your perceived effectiveness.
