Child welfare agencies are increasingly being encouraged and/or required to screen all children for mental health concerns. As a result, many child welfare agencies, including those throughout California, are in the process of selecting mental health screening instruments or have implemented standardized mental health screening for all children receiving child welfare services. The present report therefore provides a review of measures used to screen and/or assess mental health and/or social-emotional functioning in children of all ages (birth through adolescence), with a focus on the child welfare context whenever possible. The report is intended to offer guidance to the University of California, Davis Center for Human Services and collaborating with child welfare agencies in Northern California in the selection of measures for universal screening and follow-up assessments within child welfare.

I guess you can construct "Emotional Quotient Index" and "Emotional Intelligence Radar" to determine the flexibility and adaptability of the students. EI is being governed by five factors like, intrapersonal ability, inter-personal ability, stress management, adaptability and general mood.
