AQ IMPROVEMENT PATH
By scoring in this range, you can enjoy immediate and
significant benefits by improving your AQ.
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.

CONTROL
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.
↑
AQ SKILL BUILDER
When you face a challenging situation, ask
yourself:
"Regardless of how impossible this may seem, what are all
of the facets of this situation that I can potentially
influence?"
Focus and act on the things you can influence and you
will gain energy as well as momentum.
YOUR C SCORE
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.
↑
AQ SKILL BUILDER
When you face a challenging situation, ask
yourself:
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:
"How can I step up now to make the most immediate and
positive difference in this situation?"
"How can I mobilize the efforts of those who are hanging
back, not yet involved?"
Remember, you do not always have to own the whole
problem. Even small actions will continue to strengthen
your overall resilience. The best time to step up is when
you least feel like doing so.
YOUR O SCORE
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.
↑
AQ SKILL BUILDER
When you face a challenging situation, ask
yourself:
The moment adversity strikes and grips you with stress and
concern, ask yourself three questions:
"What actions can I take to keep this situation from
getting any bigger or worse than it has to be?"
"What personal strengths and resources can I develop by
trying to contain the adversity?"
"What can I do to generate remedies to address the
potential downside of this difficulty?"
YOUR R SCORE
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.
↑
AQ SKILL BUILDER
When you face a challenging situation, ask
yourself:
"What must I do to get past this as quickly and
completely as possible?"
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
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
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:
C
Find and focus on what they can influence to make it
better,
versus perceive it as out of their control.
O
Step up to make some sort of positive difference,
versus step back and not play a role.
R
Contain the downside, limit the potential reach of the
adversity,
versus let it be bigger than it needs to be.
E
See and get past it as quickly as possible,
versus let it drag on.
