4 CIRI ORANG GAGAL | 4 SIFAT ORANG SUKSES | DIMENSI ADVERSITY QUOTIENT | REVIEW BUKU AQ PART-2

Summary

Paul Stols introduces a model of four dimensions that influence how people respond to adversity: Control, Origin & Ownership, Reach, and Endurance. These dimensions describe how individuals view their ability to solve problems, take responsibility, manage the scope of their challenges, and persist through difficulties. High adversity individuals are proactive, resilient, and take ownership of their problems, while low adversity individuals may feel helpless, over-exaggerate challenges, or avoid taking responsibility. The model encourages self-reflection and growth by offering a framework to improve resilience and problem-solving capabilities.

Takeaways

• 😀 Control plays a crucial role in how individuals perceive and approach challenges. Those with high adversity believe they can overcome obstacles, while those with low adversity may give up easily and blame fate.
• 😀 People with high adversity show confidence in solving problems, actively seeking help and solutions, while those with low adversity often feel helpless and give up without trying.
• 😀 The dimension of Origin and Ownership focuses on how individuals perceive the source of their problems and take responsibility for solving them, either blaming themselves or others.
• 😀 High adversity individuals acknowledge external factors but still take responsibility for their actions, whereas low adversity people may overblame themselves or external circumstances.
• 😀 The dimension of Rich refers to the tendency to exaggerate problems. Those with high adversity tend to focus on solutions, while low adversity individuals often catastrophize the issue.
• 😀 In the Rich dimension, high adversity individuals see setbacks as challenges to learn from, while low adversity people may see a failure as a total loss or a permanent failure in their abilities.
• 😀 Endurance is about the ability to keep going despite setbacks. High adversity people believe that persistence and effort can overcome obstacles, whereas low adversity individuals may lack the will to keep trying.
• 😀 High adversity individuals view challenges as opportunities for growth, believing that increasing effort leads to progress. Low adversity people may see themselves as incapable of overcoming difficulties.
• 😀 People with high adversity demonstrate resilience and the ability to improve their skills in the face of setbacks, while low adversity individuals often feel defeated and hopeless about their ability to change.
• 😀 The four dimensions—control, origin and ownership, rich, and endurance—combine to determine how individuals react to challenges. Self-awareness of these dimensions can help in improving one's ability to handle adversity.

Q & A

What are the four dimensions that form a person's adversity question?

The four dimensions are Control, Origin & Ownership, Rich (Scope), and Endurance.

How does the dimension of Control affect how someone faces obstacles?

The Control dimension relates to how confident a person feels about overcoming challenges. High adversity individuals believe that problems can be solved, while low adversity individuals may feel helpless and give up easily.

Can you provide examples of how people with high and low EQ respond to obstacles in the Control dimension?

High EQ individuals might say, 'This is tough, but I’ve faced bigger challenges, and I can find a way.' Low EQ individuals may say, 'This is beyond my reach. There’s nothing else I can do. Maybe this is my fate.'

What does the Origin & Ownership dimension focus on?

This dimension is about how individuals perceive the origin of their obstacles and take responsibility for solving them. People with high adversity are proportional in their view of the problem, while low adversity individuals may blame themselves or external factors.

What is the difference between people with high and low adversity in terms of ownership and responsibility?

High adversity individuals take ownership of their problems and look for solutions. They may acknowledge external factors but still feel responsible for overcoming the challenge. Low adversity individuals, however, tend to blame themselves excessively or shift blame to others.

How does the Rich (Scope) dimension influence a person's perception of problems?

The Rich dimension refers to how individuals perceive the scale of their problems. High adversity individuals keep challenges in perspective and avoid exaggerating them, while low adversity individuals tend to blow problems out of proportion.

Can you give examples of how individuals with high and low EQ react to setbacks in the Rich dimension?

High EQ individuals may think, 'The lecturer rejected my thesis proposal, but it’s a chance for improvement.' Low EQ individuals might think, 'My lecturer is being unfair to me.'

What role does Endurance play in overcoming adversity?

Endurance is about persistence and resilience. Individuals with high adversity understand that overcoming obstacles requires sustained effort and continuous improvement, while those with low adversity may give up, thinking their struggles are permanent.

How do high and low EQ individuals react in the Endurance dimension?

High EQ individuals focus on improving their skills and putting in the effort to overcome obstacles. Low EQ individuals might feel defeated, believing that they are inherently incapable of success.

How can someone improve their ability to overcome obstacles based on these four dimensions?

To improve, individuals can work on building their confidence (Control), taking ownership of their problems (Ownership), keeping challenges in perspective (Scope), and developing resilience through sustained effort (Endurance).
