In a world of accelerating change, the ability to rapidly respond to change has emerged as the strongest predictor of success. At Agility Institute, we define agility as the ability to rapidly realize optimal outcomes based on recent or future change. We have built the world's first scientifically validated assessment of agility, utilizing an array of tools from the fields of industrial & organizational psychology, behavioral economics, decision science and psychometrics. The resulting Agility Quotient (AQ) Assessment embodies seven years of research into agile behavior in individuals, teams, and organizations.

​

We have conducted large-scale studies in collaboration with a number of academic partners to determine how AQ correlates with real-world outcomes and performance. We are proud to report that this line of research has demonstrated that AQ significantly relates to job satisfaction, job performance, and even life satisfaction. Furthermore, individuals with high AQ are more likely to go above and beyond their basic job requirements, experience less burnout, and engage in less counterproductive work behaviors. They are more likely to view a stressor as a challenge instead of a threat, and are more likely to report a positive state of well-being.
