In the last few years, many people still dwell on the old-fashioned paradigm that Intelligence Quotient (IQ), Emotional Quotient (EQ), and Spiritual Quotient (SQ) are the only determining factors in someone’s life. Moreover, they also engage in an over-heated debate about which is the most important out of the three. Those who prefer cognitive approaches to life argue that IQ is the most important, since sharp analytical and problem solving abilities are very much needed in life. In fact, the majority of schools and universities still put up a higher value on academic achievements rather than non-academic achievements. On the other hand, many people agree that EQ and SQ are far more essential than IQ. For example, a genius scientist without good morals and spirituality ends up as an atheist or even a mass destroyer by developing and igniting nuclear bombs.
Recent researches by psychologists discover the Adversity Quotient (AQ), a new landmark in the psychological world, which challenges the status quo of the ‘big three’. Adversity Quotient is the capabilities of a human to focus on his purpose in life and overcome any obstacles in the way. In short, AQ represents the strength of someone’s determination. AQ classifies human behaviors into three characteristics of mountain climbers. Firstly, the quitters. They love to try on new things and experiences. However, they will not continue in pursuing their objectives if the environment is unsupportive and harsh. In short, they are weak-willed people and too scatter-brained to focus on one goal. Secondly, the campers. They love to pursue a certain limit of goals and easily satisfied of their achievements. Their biggest downfall is the fact that they love to stay in their ‘comfort zone’ and hesitant to take the risks. Lastly, the climbers. These people are the real survivors. They love to set big and long term goals, take the challenges, and persistent in pursuing their dreams. In addition, they are also able to overcome any obstacles efficiently and maintain to live with high energy and passion because of their clear vision and mission in life.
To conclude, Adversity Quotient is the most determining factor in someone’s life. No matter how genius, patient, or faithful someone is, he will never get the success that he deeply wants to achieve unless he has the determination and perseverance to climb the mountain of success.
