Many people consider that the human psyche can be reduced to five independent scales. Four of these are measured in the Team Management Profile but little has been done to make the 'fifth dimension' meaningful and accessible in the workplace. The fifth dimension is widely used in clinical psychology where it is used to measure such characteristics as depression and hypomania. But in the world of management development it has languished because of low face validity. The QO₂™ is a new look at the fifth dimension and has a high level of face validity and utility for managers and their teams.

The QO₂™ stands for the Opportunities-Obstacles Quotient and is a measure of the extent to which people are more likely to invest energy in seeing the opportunities or seeing the obstacles. In simple terms it is a measure of the inherent risk a person is likely to accept. It affects their approach to decision-making, change, conflict and just about any situation faced at work.

The Risk-Orientation Model is the basis of the QO₂™ concept and defines five subscales that are used to calculate the QO₂™.
