Emotional Creativity Inventory (ECI) Test - Symptoms and Signs
This self-report measure assesses individual differences in the originality, flexibility, and elaboration of emotional experience and expression. The Emotional Creativity Inventory (ECI) is intended to capture how a person generates and interprets emotional meaning beyond habitual or automatic responses.
Developed by J. R. Averill, the instrument includes 30 items and typically takes about 6 minutes to complete. Responses can be used to describe patterns of emotionally creative cognition and expression, and may inform clinical formulation, psychotherapy goals related to emotional processing, or research on emotion-related individual differences.
The Emotional Creativity Inventory (ECI) is not a diagnostic tool; results are generally interpreted in the context of the referral question, relevant history, and other assessment data.
