A person’s emotional resilience refers to their psychological ability to cope with or adapt to, pressure, change and stress. Emotional resilience is not something you either do or do not have, it is a trait you can work on and build. Adversity Quotient (AQ) is  a measurement of a person’s resilience. It is a gauge and a measure of how you deal with everything from stress at work to your personal life and the sudden adversities and challenges that we are presented every now and then. The more resilient you are, the more constructively and effectively you can respond to and work through difficulties and perform well under pressure.
