Question:

What research structures were used in developing the AQ Assessment?

Insights:

We looked into several research structures in the development of the AQ assessment. Many of those primary sources are listed in the Academic Research article with links to the archives and articles. Here we highlight several scales/inventories/questionnaires/theories consulted in the construction of the model and assessment:

• The 10-item Proactive Personality Scale (PPS-10)
• AC/NC-Dominant Profile, Organizational Commitment Profile
• Brief Resilience Scale (BRS)
• Career Adapt-Abilities Scale (CAAS)
• Career construction theory (CCT)
• Charismatic transformational leadership behavior (Nadler & Tushman, 1989)
• The Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-i)
• The Five Factor Model (FFM) (aka the Big Five personality traits)
• Frequent Change and Turnover Intention: The Moderating Role of Ethical Leadership
• The General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES)
• The Grit Scale
• The Growth Mindset Scale
• The Job Crafting Scale
• A Multilevel Model of Employee Innovation
• Neuroception of Psychological Safety Scale (NPSS)
• The Occupational Self-Efficacy Scale (OSA)
• Organizational Support Theory (OST)
• Paradox Mindset Inventory (PMI)
• The Penn Perceived Stress Scale (PSS)
• The Perceived Organizational Support (POS) scale
• Proactive Personality Scale
• Rating of Outcome Scale
• The Hope Scale
• Research on Organizational Dexterity (O’Reilly & Tushman, 2004)
• The Seven-Item Personal Initiative Questionnaire
• Task Adaptivity Scale
• The Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TEIQue)
• WRF Scale

Note that research on Unlearn is an emerging field. Those questions are proprietary to AQai.

While there is decades of research behind each sub-dimension, AQai is bringing it all together and our research shows the strength of relationships between sub-traits.
