MODEL
Finally, a Way to Measure and Improve Adaptability — a Critical Human Skill
​
The AQ® Model gives you a data-driven way to assess your Adaptability Intelligence (AQ) and pinpoint exactly how to strengthen it. Grounded in academic and organizational research from 100+ scientific publications in Financial Times Top 50 journals, it’s one of the most rigorous frameworks available for understanding human adaptability.
​
The AQ® Model is centered on three essential pillars:
// AQ ABILITY - How You Adapt
AQ Ability measures the skills that shape how you respond to change. It reveals the methods you use, your capacity to shift, and the effectiveness of your actions in dynamic situations.
// AQ CHARACTER - Who You Are and Why You Adapt the Way You Do
AQ Character uncovers the internal drivers behind your adaptability. It highlights the attitudes, traits, and motivations that influence why you respond to change in certain ways.
​
// AQ ENVIRONMENT - When and Where You Adapt Best
AQ Environment examines the external conditions that support—or hinder—your adaptability. It shows when and where you adapt most effectively based on the systems, culture, and context around you.
Each pillar includes five science-backed sub-dimensions, giving you a clear snapshot of how you actually adapt when it counts.
​
With the AQai A.C.E. Model, you’ll quickly see which skills need strengthening, how your character traits drive your response to change, and where your environment is helping—or holding you back.
​
These insights are a wake-up call. They show you exactly what to improve, what to leverage, and what to change so you can stay ahead in a world where the pace of disruption isn’t slowing down.
If you want to thrive - not just survive - this is where you start.

The AQ assessment and coaching by Ann has helped my professional development and productivity.
The assessment process was refreshingly straightforward and engaging!
