Quotients
The six quotients of Q-pulse
In the realm of early childhood development, educators and therapists constantly seek effective methods to gauge a child’s progress and cater to their individual needs. One such innovative approach is the Q-Pulse program, which utilises a unique system of six key quotients to create a holistic picture of a child’s development. This article delves into these six quotients, exploring what they assess and how they contribute to a well-rounded understanding of a child’s strengths and areas for growth. Through the lens of these quotients, the Q-Pulse program empowers caregivers to personalise learning experiences and optimise each child’s journey towards reaching their full potential.
The Six Key Quotients

As your child grows and explores the world, their ability to learn and think also develops. Cognitive Quotient assesses Cognitive Abilities, Including Reasoning, Problem-Solving, and Learning Potential.
Adversity (AQ)
Adversity Quotient measures Resilience, Coping Skills, and Ability to bounce back From Challenges. It’s not about avoiding challenges, but rather about developing the skills and mindset to navigate them effectively.
Developmental (DQ)

Physical (PQ)
