Choosing a mentor requires a certain level of introspection for both the mentor and the mentee. The dynamics of mentorship may change depending on the academic status of the mentee. Regardless, mentors should help their trainees grow both academically and professionally. The success of an individual in the fields of science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) depends on more than intellectual capacity; a holistic view encompassing all factors that contribute to scientific achievement is all-important. Specifically, one new method scientists can adopt is quotients, which are scales and techniques that can be used to measure aptitude in a specific area. In this paper, we focus on these factors and how to grow one's adversity quotient (AQ), social quotient (SQ), and personal growth initiative scale (PGIS). We also look at how mentors can better understand the biases of their trainees. In addressing this, mentors can help trainees become more visible and encourage other trainees to become allies through reducing biases.
选择导师需要导师和学员都进行一定程度的内省。指导关系的动态可能会根据学员的学术地位而变化。无论如何，导师都应该帮助他们的学员在学术和专业上成长。一个人在科学、技术、工程、数学和医学（STEMM）领域的成功不仅仅取决于智力能力；一个全面的观点，包括所有有助于科学成就的因素，是至关重要的。具体来说，科学家可以采用的一种新方法是商数，这是可以用来衡量特定领域能力的尺度和技术。在本文中，我们重点介绍这些因素以及如何提高一个人的逆境商数（AQ）、社会商数（SQ）和个人成长主动性量表（PGIS）。我们还研究了导师如何更好地了解学员的偏见。在解决这个问题时，导师可以通过减少偏见来帮助学员变得更加显眼，并鼓励其他学员成为盟友。
