Learner’s Quotient Assessment
What is Learner’s Quotient (LQ)?
Learner’s Quotient represents your capacity to acquire, process, retain, and apply new knowledge effectively. Unlike IQ which measures innate cognitive ability, LQ assesses your learnability – how well you adapt to new information and skills throughout life.
Key Components of LQ:
Cognitive Flexibility (Adapting thinking to new information)
Information Processing Speed
Knowledge Retention Capacity
Application Ability (Using learned concepts practically)
Metacognition (Awareness of your own learning process)
