Introducing the Socio-Psycho Quotient (SPQ): A Novel Metric for Evaluating Cognitive-Social Influence in Intelligent Systems

This paper proposes the Socio-Psycho Quotient (SPQ), a novel metric designed to evaluate the capability of systems—both human and artificial, to perceive, interpret, and influence the psychological and social dynamics of human environments. Unlike traditional metrics such as Intelligence Quotient (IQ) or Emotional Quotient (EQ), SPQ provides a composite measure of socio-psychological influence, adaptability, ethical manipulation, and contextual understanding. The formulation of SPQ, its components, theoretical foundation, evaluation framework, and practical implications in areas such as AI-human interaction, policy, and ethics are thoroughly discussed.
