Your ability to influence challenging situations
Your likelihood to take action and improve situations
How much you let challenges affect other areas of life
How long you expect challenges to last
As you do, you will feel lighter, more optimistic, resilient, and effective, even in tough circumstances. You will feel yourself getting tired less and instead of beaten down by difficult setbacks. Begin by paying keen attention to how you naturally respond when difficult or adverse moments arise. Be conscious of your pattern. Next, ask yourself the CORE Questions that most apply to you and the situation each time adversity strikes. As you do, you will find that you can contain, get past, and work through previously impossible challenges.
The degree to which you perceive you can influence whatever happens next.
How likely you are to step up to improve the situation, when adversity strikes.
How far you perceive the adversity will reach into and affect everything else.
How long you perceive the adversity will last, or endure.
The C dimension measures the extent to which you feel you can influence difficult situations. Control is a significant predictor of health, energy, outlook, tenacity, perseverance, innovation, competitiveness, and problem solving. The lower your score, the less you feel that what you do matters. The higher your score, the more you feel able to influence a situation and take meaningful action. Regardless of your current score, you can measurably improve by employing some simple AQ-building tips.
Your C score falls in the high range (46–50), indicating a tendency to become more determined, decisive, and action-focused in challenging situations. You naturally find and focus on the facets of situations that you can influence, regardless of the ones you cannot. This translates into superior mental clarity, problem-solving abilities, confidence, and optimism in demanding times. But you can become even stronger.
The O dimension measures the extent to which you tend to "step up" and take the initiative to improve difficult situations, regardless of their cause. The higher your score, the more likely you are to play some role in making things better. The lower your score, the more likely you are to deflect accountability and blame others. Whereas the C dimension captures how you perceive your level of influence, the O dimension captures your behavioral tendency to take action to influence a situation. Regardless of your current score, your ownership can be measurably improved.
Focus your ownership on those situations in which you can make the most significant contribution, and/or those that cause you the greatest concern. When those challenges and opportunities arise, ask yourself:
Your O score falls within the high range (50), indicating an unusually high sense of ownership in improving difficult situations regardless of their cause. You are likely to step up, get involved, and feel responsible when unexpected challenges arise. This tendency may draw people to you, especially when crises arise. You may inspire others to step up and get engaged as well.
The R dimension assesses the extent to which you let a setback in one area of your life reach over and affect other areas. The higher your score, the more automatically you will contain the reach of the adversity, limiting it to the situation at hand. The lower your score, the more you tend to let adverse events in one area negatively affect other areas. The lower your score, the bigger and worse each difficulty may appear. The higher your score, the smaller and more manageable it may seem. Regardless of your current score, you can measurably improve your reach by using the AQ Builders.
The moment adversity strikes and grips you with stress and concern, ask yourself three questions:
Your R score falls within the low range (10–19), indicating a tendency to let difficulties in one area become much bigger than they need to be. It may be hard to let things go. You may ruminate or catastrophize when adversity becomes particularly intense, prolonged, or complicated. This can have a detrimental effect on others and their optimism in solving problems. You may suffer unnecessary levels of stress, a tendency that you can improve as you strengthen your reach.
The E dimension of your AQ assesses how long you perceive adverse events will last or endure. Whereas Reach captures how adversity in one domain of life or work affects your general mindset and approach to other domains, the E dimension captures the duration of adversity and its potentially paralyzing grip on you. The higher your score, the quicker you see and overcome difficult situations. The lower your score, the longer adverse events seem to drag on you. The E dimension affects hope, agility, optimism, and problem solving.
This will equip you to identify ways of limiting the adversity's duration and weight on you. Imagine what life looks like on the other side of the adversity and you will be naturally compelled to get there.
Generate a brainstormed list in response to this question: "What specific actions would it take to reduce the adversity in the next few hours?" This can provide a concrete road map and psychological reassurance that the adversity need not endure as long as you fear.
Your E score falls within the low range (10–24), indicating a tendency to perceive difficulties as long-lasting, if not endless. This tendency can prove demoralizing and may be perceived by others as somewhat pessimistic. It can also reduce your ability and motivation to take on a given challenge. You may struggle to remain engaged with long-term, complex problems. Your endurance can be measurably and even dramatically improved by using the AQ Builder.
Amplify your AQ by upgrading from your personal perspective
to
a multi-source perspective.
One of the most powerful ways to affirm and enhance your AQ Profile is by comparing your initial results against the potential perceptions of others by answering the questions below.
How does your adversity response—your AQ and CORE scores—stack up against the ways others perceive you?
In general, if they were asked to honestly and confidentially rate, on a scale of 40-200 how effectively you respond to adversity, overall, the moment it strikes, in comparison to everyone else they know, how would you score?In general, if they were asked to honestly and confidentially rate, on a scale of 40-200 how effectively you respond to adversity, overall, the moment it strikes, in comparison to everyone else they know, how would you score?
In the moment any kind of adversity strikes, how effectively does this person:
Find and focus on what they can influence to make it better, versus perceive it as out of their control.
Step up to make some sort of positive difference, versus step back and not play a role.
Contain the downside, limit the potential reach of the adversity, versus let it be bigger than it needs to be.
See and get past it as quickly as possible, versus let it drag on.
What could you learn by asking those who can provide the most accurate and honest feedback?
