Frequently Asked Questions

If you have a physical copy of any of our books and your passcode is unreadable or damaged, please email a photo of the damaged passcode to [email protected], adding the Subject line “Damaged Passcode”. Once email is received and the details verified, support will be provided, and if necessary, a replacement code will be sent.

If the envelope with passcode is missing from the back of the book, you have received a used copy . Please contact the retailer you purchased from to either return the book or request a replacement passcode. If the retailer will not issue you a replacement passcode, you may purchase an ebook through Amazon Kindle or VitalSource and a new code will be provided.

If this is a physical copy of the book, there should be an envelope located in the back of the book. There will be a code in the envelope along with additional instructions to take your online test. If your book has a foiled box, then your code is underneath. Gently scratch off the foil using a coin, making sure not to peel it like a sticker. Please use this passcode to take your test and you will use this same passcode to access your results. You will need this passcode to take your retest in 6 months.

If you’ve already used your passcode, and need to access your passcode again, please visit the product you’re looking for and the email address you associated the code with.

Emotional Intelligence 2.0 : https://www.talentsmarteq.com/eiqb2/passretr.php

Emotional Intelligence Habits : https://www.talentsmarteq.com/habits/passretr.php

If you made your purchase from Amazon Kindle, Audible, Nook or VitalSource, they are responsible for issuing the code and will send the passcode in an additional email after your purchase.

Kindle’s subject line for the email with the passcode is “Your Amazon.com Promotional Code”

Audible’s subject line for the email with the passcode is “Supporting Documents for Emotional Intelligence 2.0.”

Please search your SPAM or JUNK folder as these emails can end up in those inboxes.

For all other e-books not mentioned above, they do not distribute the unique passcode upon purchase. Please contact the supplier directly.

To take a book assessment, you will have 2 passcodes. One comes from your book and one comes after you verify your email address. 

First enter your passcode, the book code from the back of your book. Once you have entered your passcode click “Submit.”

You will be prompted to enter your first, last, and email. Once you have entered that information click on the “Verify email address” this will send an email to your inbox that will provide you with your OTP. 

If you receive an “Invalid OTP” error, please start the process over without putting anything into the OTP before selecting “Verify email address.”
