1. Intelligence Quotient (IQ): This is the measure of your ability to comprehend.  IQ was originally invented in France to identify students who need help in academics. You need IQ to solve mathematics, memorize things, and recall lessons. But we shall remember that by just a mere IQ score we cannot judge an individual's potential or intelligence.

2. Emotional Quotient (EQ): A person’s emotional intelligence is measured by Emotional Quotient (EQ). Emotional intelligence means how that person handles his emotions while interacting with others around him. According to Daniel Goleman, an American psychologist, Self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy and social skills are the five key elements of this quotient.

3. Spiritual Quotient (SQ): All human beings are basically spiritual in nature. Spiritual Quotient measures spiritual intelligence. It refers to our ability to understand the meaning of life, self-awareness, peace of mind, satisfaction, compassion and respect for others. A person with greater SQ means he is well contented and happy and is living a peaceful journey of life.

4. Adversity Quotient (AQ): The adversity quotient is a person's score to deal with adversities in life. When the situations change and a person goes through a rough patch in life, AQ determines who will give up, who will abandon his family, and who will consider suicide.
