The MSCEIT is published by Multi-Health Systems, Inc (MHS) of Toronto, Canada. MHS will subsidize some of the costs for research use of the MSCEIT for qualified academic researchers!  Please read the following information carefully to understand your options and how to obtain the MSCEIT. 

MSCEIT OPTIONS FOR RESEARCH USE

First, determine if you qualify for any research discount by contacting MHS - e-mail the research people at R&D@mhs.com . We cannot provide you with the MSCEIT for research because we do not own the test rights!

Second, determine how your research participants will take the MSCEIT.

1-     Can you administer the MSCEIT on-line?  This will be your most cost-effective option!

2-     If you cannot administer the MSCEIT on-line, you will need to purchase printed MSCEIT Item Booklets.  These are full-color, and can be re-used.  MHS will score the answer sheets and return the information to you in about 2 weeks. Item Booklets are really expensive so try to do this on-line!

Third, determine the format for your participant data.

1-     You can receive a 10+ page Summary Report for each participant.  This is typically used in giving clients MSCEIT feedback. There is a more expensive Resource Report as well.

2-     Or, you can receive the participants’ scored data in an Excel spreadsheet file.  This is the most cost-effective option, and the one that will likely best meet your research needs.  It also means that you do not have to enter any data by hand, saving a good deal of time and possible errors.

Your most cost-effective option for research use would be to -

1)      Administer the MSCEIT on-line   AND 

2)      Receive participant data in an Excel spreadsheet file.

Please note that MHS cannot provide a 'scoring key'.  MHS will score the MSCEIT and return all scores to you.

Researcher Options:

ONLINE VERSION – WITH CLIENT SUMMARY REPORT

You will need to purchase the manual and the desired amount of summary reports. Upon filling out researcher request forms, MHS will apply a 30% research discount to the standard prices.  However, we encourage researchers to request a scored data set, rather than a client summary report. 

ONLINE VERSION WITH SCORED DATA SET

Most of the time researchers are not interested in receiving the summary reports. They only want scored data sets.  In this case we ask that you purchase the manual at full price and you will receive a discounted rate per scored data set (per subject).  You will have to indicate to us how many scored data sets you are expecting, as MHS will charge you for the scored data sets in advance. The last time I asked about pricing, it was $10 per subject, and that was early 2012. Prices go up every January.
