We help people find out how others REALLY see them.
Start with any organized group you are in (like a classroom). Talk with your group about doing a FREE survey, rating each other privately by smart phone or computer. Those who supply their email will get their private SQ report.
A good score can impress
employers and college admissions officials. But each person controls who sees their score.

'I think you are really onto something with the social quotient work. It would be
a huge benefit if
all students were able to learn the principles to help put them on the path to success.
Having children myself now I
realize even if they are smart they still have a lot to learn
in how to interact socially."

Van Sloan reports that he has tracked down the sentence that inspired his development of Social Quotient: ”But there is no easy way to measure these personality traits” (such as getting along with people) ...”with any degree of comparative accuracy.” It is on page 310 of “The End of Racism” by Dinesh D'Souza (1995). Van found a way to measure traits. Thus progress is made in the social sciences.
