Daniel Goleman, Psychologist and author of Emotional Intelligence, says:
“Of all the Emotional Intelligence Competencies, Adaptability predicts success most often.”
“Adaptability correlates to life satisfaction and career success in the EQ model.”
Adaptability Intelligence is the ability of an individual to effectively adjust their thinking and behavior in response to changing environments, situations, and challenges.
AQai’s Adaptability model, known as the AQ Model, measures an individual’s Adaptability Quotient (AQ) through a comprehensive framework that evaluates three core dimensions: Ability, Character, and Environment.
Sarah was an operations manager at a mid-sized manufacturing company that faced supply chain disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Using her Adaptability skills, she quickly identified alternative suppliers and negotiated new contracts to ensure the continuity of raw materials. She implemented a digital tracking system to monitor inventory levels in real-time, reducing waste and improving efficiency. She regularly communicated with her team, providing clear guidance and support to adapt to new processes.
Sarah’s actions minimized production delays and maintained customer satisfaction, helping the company navigate the crisis effectively.
Her Adaptability skills of Grit, Mental Flexibility, Resilience, and Unlearning contributed to her success.

A study of MBA students 5 to 19 years after graduation shows that their Adaptability strengths predicted their life satisfaction, career satisfaction, and, in fact, career success. This was the strongest predictor of all the emotional and social intelligence competencies.
People who score high with Grit, Mindset, and Hope have potential for managing through our volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous future.
