Abstract
This study aims to discover the adversity quotient of Vocational High School students towards mathematics, which is divided into three categories namely climber (high), camper (average) and quitter (low). Adversity quotient is influenced by four dimensions including control, ownership, reach and endurance. This survey study had 132 respondents taken from the tenth grade of Vocational High School students, specifically from four departments (office administration, accounting, multimedia, and management). There were 60 items in the questionnaire used to collect the data about the students' adversity quotient. The questionnaire was arranged using Likert scale which had reliability score of 0.92. The result showed that 27% of students were in climber category, 72% of students were in the camper category and 1% of students were in the quitter category. Based on the percentages, adversity quotient of Vocational High School students towards mathematics is quite good, but improvement is necessarry because learning mathematics requires higher adversity quotient.
