Adversity quotient, by Paul? Dr Stoz put it forward in the 1990s, which refers to our ability to cope with adversity. The higher a person's AQ is, the more flexible he is to face adversity, be positive and optimistic, accept difficulties and challenges, and use his creativity to find solutions. So he can persevere, be brave in setbacks, and finally show his Excellence.

People with high AQ are sure to succeed in the workplace, while those with low AQ will be pushed into the ranks of losers.
