You’ve taken personality tests… now it’s time for something different!
Discover how you lead

Purpose: The ELI is designed to measure "energy" in an attitudinal sense - how you typically respond to different situations, especially under stress. Unlike personality assessments, which tell you about inherent traits, the ELI focuses on how you can shift your reactions to improve outcomes.
Think of levels of motivation, opportunity focus and collaboration, versus levels of rivalry, distrust and disengagement. These are examples of upbuilding versus destructive energy levels.
Structure: It’s usually a 20-minute, online questionnaire that explores your responses to a variety of hypothetical situations. These scenarios range from workplace interactions to personal challenges.

Self-awareness is the foundation of personal and professional growth.
The Energy Leadership™ Index (ELI) assessment is a proprietary, research-backed attitudinal assessment tool developed by iPEC. It measures the way individuals and groups experience the world and quantifies their energy levels. In just 20 minutes, this transformative assessment reveals their current energy makeup and identifies areas for potential growth.
The de-brief
The de-brief
Personalized Feedback: In the one-on-one debrief, you’ll review the assessment results with a certified coach. This isn’t just about scores but interpreting how these levels play out in your life. For instance, they may explain how much time you spend in each level in day-to-day situations versus during high-stress moments.
Examples of Feedback: The coach will give you specific insights into how you tend to respond in scenarios that bring out the best and worst in you. They may offer comments like, “In high-stress situations, you often shift into Level 2 (conflict energy), which shows up as frustration. This might lead you to respond in ways that prioritize winning the argument over collaboration, which could strain team dynamics.”
Tailored Development Areas: The debrief will focus on areas for potential growth. For example, if you frequently enter Level 3 (Responsibility) to maintain harmony but feel unfulfilled, the coach might help you explore strategies to move toward Level 5 (Opportunity) thinking, which would enable you to create more win-win situations.
7 Levels of Energy
7 Levels of Energy
As individuals, we all have filters, and they are based on all our life experiences and the influences of people and the world around us. They form the basis of our belief system and the way we view and approach situations. These filters shape the way we “show up.” They affect our reactions and responses to situations and people in all aspects of life.
The ELI assessment identifies seven “levels” of energy or perspectives. Each level represents a way you may approach and interpret situations, ranging from highly constructive to more destructive or counterproductive. Here’s a simplified overview of these levels:
In the image above, you may explore an introduction to the 7 Levels of Energy. First it is important to recognize, that there are two types of energy: Catabolic & Anabolic.
Catabolic (draining) energy: a destructive, “tearing down” force. It’s often associated with stress. While people can work well under stress and experience short-term success, the long-term impact can be draining and impact levels of fulfilment and satisfaction. When people experience stress, it is difficult to look past the stressor and see a bigger picture of the situation and the choices that could be available to them.
Anabolic (constructive) energy: Anabolic energy is a constructive, “building up” force. As a result, it is easier to focus on solutions, tap into creativity, and experience a more complete and conscious view of situations. The less judgement and fear people have about themselves and situations, the more anabolic energy they can access.

Examples of “Energy Levels in Various Situations”
In a Team Conflict: If you generally respond with Level 2 energy (Conflict), you might react defensively or aggressively. The coach could help you explore how a Level 5 approach (Opportunity) might turn the conflict into a productive discussion focused on common goals.
Under Personal Stress: If you tend to feel helpless (Level 1) in personal challenges, the debrief might guide you in recognizing when you fall into this energy and practicing ways to bring more self-compassion (Level 4) into your perspective.
During a Leadership Role: If you’re a manager who defaults to Level 3 (Responsibility), you might find yourself overcompensating for others, leading to burnout. Learning to access Level 6 (Synthesis) could allow you to encourage team synergy and creativity without taking on too much yourself.
What You Can Gain from the ELI Assessment:
Increased Self-Awareness: Understanding your energy profile can reveal patterns that impact your relationships, communication, and overall approach to life.
Empowerment to Shift Mindsets: Recognizing that you can shift your energy level gives you a sense of control over how you react to stressors.
Enhanced Relationships: By understanding how energy levels influence interactions, you can approach personal and professional relationships with more empathy, assertiveness, and collaboration.
Can Gain from the ELI Assessment:
The ELI assessment is ideal if you’re looking to deepen self-awareness, improve stress responses, and cultivate a more intentional approach to personal and professional challenges. It’s a tool that can illuminate both strengths and areas for growth, offering actionable insights to foster resilience, empathy, and intentional leadership.
