Adversity quotient

An adversity quotient is a score that measures the ability of a person to deal with adversities in their life. As per W Hidayat, the AQ also has an effect on the student's mathematics understandability. The term was coined by Paul Stoltz in 1997 in his book Adversity Quotient: Turning Obstacles Into Opportunities. To quantify the adversity quotient, Stoltz developed an assessment method called the Adversity Response Profile.
The AQ is one of the probable indicators of a person's success in life and is also primarily useful to predict attitude, mental stress, perseverance, longevity, learning, and response to changes in environment.
