What does Social Quotient (SQ) measure?

• A. The capacity to memorize facts.
• B. The ability to form and maintain relationships.
• C. The ability to control emotions.
• D. The ability to solve mathematical problems.

Answer: (B)

Social Quotient focuses on how well a person engages with others, reads social cues, communicates, cooperates, and sustains relationships. It captures the ability to form and maintain connections, adapt to social contexts, and work effectively in groups. This is different from simply memorizing facts (memory), the ability to regulate one's own emotions (emotional control), or solving mathematical problems (cognitive reasoning). Therefore, the measure described is the capacity to form and maintain relationships.
