{{No footnotes|date=November 2015}}
An adversity quotient (AQ) is a score that measures the ability of a person to deal with adversities in their life.Singh, S., & Sharma, T. (2017). Affect of Adversity Quotient on the occupational stress of IT managers in India. Procedia Computer Science, 122, 86-93. As per W Hidayat, the AQ also has an effect on the student's mathematics understandability. The term was coined by Paul Stoltz in 1997 in his book Adversity Quotient: Turning Obstacles Into Opportunities. To quantify the adversity quotient, Stoltz developed an assessment method called the Adversity Response Profile (ARP).
The AQ is one of the probable indicators of a person's success in life{{fact|date=June 2020}} and is also primarily useful to predict attitude, mental stress, perseverance, longevity, learning, and response to changes in environment {{fact|date=June 2020}}.
