Emotional Intelligence (EI) has been established as a critical skill with the ability to influence positive outcomes and mitigate challenging situations. Research connects EI to such benefits as better health, superior job performance, and psychological well-being.
EI has also been shown to help moderate the negative impacts of stress. The recent COVID-19 pandemic is well-recognized as a source of unprecedented stress with implications for emotional well-being. This study provides important evidence of the stability of EI during highly stressful and chaotic circumstances.

An entrepreneur’s judgment is perhaps the most important asset that a start-up company has. As important as entrepreneurial judgment is, it is a difficult characteristic for others to discern and to evaluate. The purpose of this research project is to bring greater insight and clarity to the process of evaluating the judgment capacities of entrepreneurs during this critical stage of the founding of their companies.
This project applies the theory of formal axiology as a lens for studying entrepreneurial judgment and decision-making by analyzing how entrepreneurs receive and respond to feedback. An assessment tool known as the Hartman Value Profile (HVP) provides a way to measure the multi-faceted nature of judgment axiologically. Analysis of participants’ HVP scores suggests that HVP scores are capable of revealing meaningful insights for investors, entrepreneurs, and academics. Many of the findings relate to self awareness, with entrepreneurs being more likely to reflect upon feedback rather than deflect it.
