QEPro & QEg

What QEPro & QEg does

Génération QE (operating brands QEPro and QEg) is a French psychometric company headquartered in Vannes that develops and commercializes performance-based emotional intelligence assessments. Its two core instruments are QEPro, a 35-question test calibrated on 1,035 managers and corporate directors and targeted at executives and entrepreneurs, and QEg, a 31-question test calibrated on more than 8,000 individuals in France and available to any adult aged 18+. Both are aptitude-based instruments in which respondents must supply the correct answer to emotional logic questions, a design the company positions as more objective than self-report trait questionnaires; both produce 11 dimensional scores and have been validated in peer-reviewed journals including Springer and SCIRP publications.

The company monetizes through three coordinated streams. Individual consumers purchase tests directly online at €85 TTC each via a WooCommerce storefront, optionally bundled with the BoostMyQE e-learning program (12 interactive video modules, 45 minutes total, €29.90 standalone or €99 in the premium bundle). Enterprises (SNCF, La Banque Postale, Sodexo, Adecco, Zadig et Voltaire and others) buy bulk test credits for team assessments, recruitment and organizational climate work via a contact-based sales motion. A separate channel — 1,000+ certified QE Practitioners, trained through a certification partnership with Fullémo — purchases test credits, administers assessments to their own clients, and provides debriefing and coaching, supported by an online practitioner marketplace.

Beyond tests, the firm sells the BoostMyQE e-learning program for skills development and operates the practitioner certification and individual coaching offerings. Distribution combines PLG e-commerce, field sales, and a reseller ecosystem; marketing relies on the company website, Instagram, LinkedIn and TikTok plus Google Ads and earned credibility through scientific publications. The company is privately held, founder-controlled, has 1-10 employees, has not disclosed external funding, and is planning its first international move in 2026 with English-language versions of its tests.
