Abstract: Adversity quotient has an impact on students' success in living life. Students who are victims of bullying are no exception. The low adversity quotient of students who are bullying victims will impact the chaotic management of their lives, characterized by stress, depression, trauma, and even suicide attempts. Students bullying victims with high adversity quotient will be able to deal with bullying casually and have little impact on themselves. This study aims to describe the adversity quotient in students victims of bullying and analyze the differences in the adversity quotient of students victims of bullying between men and women. Data collection was from 66 students who had been victims of bullying in junior high schools in the city of Padang using purposive random sampling techniques. This study used a comparative quantitative research design. The instrument of this study is the adversity quotient scale. The condition of low adversity intelligence was discovered as a result of research. In particular, if decomposed according to its dimensions, low results are obtained on the dimensions of control, ownership, origin, and reach. But on the endurance of dimensions got high yields. Then, there is a difference in adversity intelligence between male and female students, where the adversity intelligence of women is higher than that of men. Thus, based on the findings of this study, schools should strive to increase the adversity quotient so that the effects experienced by victims of bullying in schools are reduced.
