What is Genos International?

Genos International is a global leader in emotional intelligence, measuring everyday observable workplace behaviors rather than static personality traits. Developed at Swinburne University of Technology, Genos assessments evaluate what leaders and teams actually say and do.

Backed by global benchmarks and peer-reviewed science, our diagnostic suite empowers organizations to overcome behavioral blind spots, elevate team psychological safety, and drive measurable performance.

The Genos assessments look at the emotionally intelligent behaviours people show at work. You can choose how much feedback you want: your own view, feedback from one group, or feedback from everyone around you. Each one is available for workplace behaviours, leadership, and sales and customer service.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Genos Emotional Intelligence different from traditional psychometrics like MBTI or DISC?

Traditional psychometrics measure static personality types or preferences—answering how an individual is wired. Genos, by contrast, measures observable, everyday workplace behaviors—evaluating what leaders actually say and do. Because behaviors are actionable rather than fixed, Genos results can be benchmarked against global standards, coached one-on-one, and systematically developed to drive measurable leadership performance.

Can Genos assessments be integrated with our existing leadership development frameworks?

Yes, absolutely. RadicalEdge maps Genos emotional intelligence competencies directly to your enterprise's internal leadership pillars, values, and organizational competencies. Our debriefs, executive coaching pathways, and cohort-based offsites are customized to address your organization's specific strategic goals, ensuring seamless alignment rather than standalone diagnostics.

What is the difference between a 180° and 360° Genos assessment?

A 180° assessment adds feedback from one group (colleagues, direct reports or customers, depending on the role) to the participant's optional self-view, which suits individual development and front-line to supervisor development. A 360° assessment gathers feedback from several rater groups (manager, peers, direct reports and others), and rater groups can be customised. This multi-angle feedback uncovers blind spots, reveals hidden leadership strengths, and delivers an exhaustive behavioral audit.
