Abstract
The disclosure is directed at a method and system for determining an adaptability quotient (AQ) index. The AQ index or score may be seen as a measure of an applicant's suitability for an employment opportunity or an applicant's suitability for a specific employment field. The AQ index may also reflect an applicant's ability to adjust to changes in work conditions and adapt to new tasks or situations. The AQ score may be used to determine which individuals may be most suited for a specific type of employment or to determine which individuals may be more suited for a job opening.
Claims8
A method for determining an adaptability quotient (AQ) index for an individual comprising:
- calculating the AQ index based on results to a set of assessments that have been completed by the individual;
- wherein calculating the AQ index includes:
- retrieving a set of assessment scores associated with the individual;
- applying a weighting factor to each of the assessments scores;
- and
- calculating a sum of the weighting factored assessment scores;
- dividing the sum by a number of assessments;
- wherein the set of assessments include assessments directed at functional skills, soft skills or functional and soft skills.
A method of determining an occupation specific adaptability quotient (AQ) index for an individual comprising:
- retrieving a work history of the individual, the work history including a list of occupations held by the individual;
- matching each of the list of occupations held by the individual with a predetermined list of standard occupations;
- calculating a recency decay value and a duration decay value for each of the list of occupations held by the individual with respect to each matched occupation from the predetermined list of standard occupations;
- applying the recency decay value and the duration decay value to a skill score for each of the list of occupations held by the individual to determine individual and skill specific scores for each of the list of occupations held by the individual;
- and
- calculating the occupation specific AQ index based on the individual and skill specific scores for each of the list of occupations held by the individual.
