29、jective set of qualities loosely defined as the ability to improve in an environment of fast and frequent change. Every profession will require adaptability and flexibility. Your IQ gets you through the examinations to become qualified for the job. Your EQ helps you connect with an interviewer, land
30、 a job, and develop relationships with customers and colleagues. Then, when systems change or aspects of work are automated, you will need AQ to adjust to this change and adapt to new ways of performing your role.

31、 and therefore adapt. AQ is now increasingly being sought at the hiring level. While there is no specific method of measuring adaptability like an IQ test, companies are changing their hiring processes to help identify people who may be high in it. Natalie Fratto, a vice-president at Goldman Sachs,
32、suggests three ways AQ might show in potential candidates: if they can picture possible versions of the future by asking “what if” questions; if they can question incorrect information of an authority; and if they enjoy exploration or seek out new experiences.Experts say you can work to develop AQ.
33、First, limit distractions and learn to focus so that you can determine what adaptations to make. Second, ask uncomfortable questions to develop courage and normalize fear. Third, be curious about things that fascinate you by having more conversations rather than Googling the answer, something that r
34、educes your ability to solve difficult challenges.Because of automation, many people in the world may need to be reskilled. We may not all be comfortable with the pace of changebut we can prepare.
