But nowadays, as technology redefines how we work, the qualities we need are developing too. Take adaptability quotient(AQ), a subjective set of quali

19、ties 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 a job, and develop

20、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. All three quotients are somewhat complementary, since they all help you solve problems and therefore adapt

21、. 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, suggests three ways

22、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. First, limit distrac

23、tions 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 reduces your ability

24、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. The ability to learn, change, grow, experiment will become far more important than subject knowledge.8What aspect of AQ is

27、t few of us actually have the sense of humor we hope we have.12These people, I am afraid, do not know the power of humor. Humor has been a necessary part of human behavior for thousands of years. There is comedy in Ancient Greece.13While these jokes might not be as funny to us as they were then, the

28、ir writers understood that humor could not only entertain but throw new light on something sensitive.A sense of humor can help you become a successful speaker. Humorous remarks (话语) can make the audience laugh, making your lecture more enjoyable.14If you are humorous you will always attract a lot of

29、 people around you. It can also help to ease the tension between people. When people are about to quarrel, a humorous remark leading to laughter can help settle the problem. But more than just about laughter, humor is a way of life and a tool that can be used to brighten the world.15Being together w
