Gig work or employment work ?

3 scales to measure the future Employee potential .

This trio will be globally accepted metric for aptitude and projected performance in the modern workplace.

Colloquially called “the Qs,” the AEI tests three variables:

Adaptability quotient (AQ)
Emotional quotient (EQ)
Intellectual quotient (IQ)

For hiring, AQ matters the most to corporations.  Strong scores in adaptability mean that you’re eligible for the “salaried track,” which leads to a three-year contract with an employer that commits significant sums toward your retraining every one to six months.

With lower scores, you must rely on the “gig track,”  or , contractual or consulting work ! Which can mean more flexibility and higher near-term rewards, but only short-duration contracts and no supported retraining. There is no inherent safety net . And the danger is that, if you bet too long on the wrong gigs in dying industries instead of continually refocusing on emergent needs , you will struggle !

Welcome to the future.
