Quotients. NO. Not maths.

I am sure most of you heard about IQ and EQ (as follows), but there are actually more of such quotients that we are not aware of.

IQ (Intelligence Quotient)
a score derived from a set of standardized tests developed to measure a person's cognitive abilities ("intelligence") in relation to their age group
http://www.sciencedaily.com/articles/i/intelligence_quotient.htm

At first i found this definition: IQ is a standardized measurement of your intelligence which i find it so dumb. Similar to explaining chemistry as the study of chemical compounds, like duhh.

EQ (Emotional Quotient)
describes the ability, capacity, skill or, in the case of the trait EI model, a self-perceived ability, to identify, assess, and manage the emotions of one's self, of others, and of groups
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotional_quotient

Earlier this year, my civics tutor who is also my general paper tutor, mentioned about AQ. I can't really remember is it adversity quotient or attitudinal quotient, so i shall give you the definition for both.

AQ (Adversity Quotient)
is the science of human resilience. People who successfully apply AQ perform optimally in the face of adversity — the challenges that confront us each day. A high-AQ workforce translates to increased capacity, productivity, and innovation, as well as lower attrition and higher retention
http://www.peaklearning.com/

measures one’s ability to thrive during chaotic moments and make the most of your IQ
http://www.hedgefolios.com/read/whats-your-adversity-quotient

AQ (attitudinal quotient)
a measure of one's success in life

Then,
in the process of searching for the definition fo AQ,
i find more of such really stupid quotients.
I thought since i have searched it, might as well just list it down.

MQ (Moral Quotient)
highlights the importance of values at home, work and in our culture to create a better society
http://www.moralquotient.com/

SQ (Spiritual Quotient)
a measure that looks at a person's spiritual intelligence in the same way as intelligence quotient (IQ) looks at cognitive intelligence. It is the study in which there are 6 types of personalities: social, investigative, artistic, realist, contractor and conventional
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiritual_quotient

CQ (Cultural Quotient)
refers cultural intelligence, and a simple definition is as follows: The ability to adapt successfully to different national, organizational, and professional cultures.
http://www.employmentblawg.com/2006/first-there-was-iq-then-came-eq-and-now-there-is-cq/

is a theory within management and organizational psychology, positing that understanding the impact of an individual's cultural background on their behaviour is essential for effective business, and measuring an individual's ability to engage successfully in any environment or social setting
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Intelligence

PQ (Physical Intelligence Quotient)
Wise nutrition, Consistence balance exercises Proper rest, relaxation, stress management and preventing.
http://greathumancapital.wordpress.com/2007/03/04/holistic-development-integrate-sq-eq-iq-pq-true-knowledge/

MQ (Mental Intelligent Quotient)
Continuous, systematic, disciplined study and education Cultivation of self awareness, learning by teaching and doing.
http://greathumancapital.wordpress.com/2007/03/04/holistic-development-integrate-sq-eq-iq-pq-true-knowledge/

There's also some other quotients which i can't find any definitions
but i guess they are pretty obvious to know what each meant for.
(FQ) Fitness Quotient
(SQ) Skill Quotient
(HQ) Humour Quotient
(CQ) Creativity Quotient (does not have a precisely-numbered measurement)

As i continue to search on,
i find that in fact there are a lot more
AND
SOOOO
I GAVE UP IN THE END! HAHA

Awareness Test

Elevator Psychology
