This research aims to analyze students' literal thinking ability in solving plane problems in terms of the adversity quotient (AQ). This type of research is quasi-experimental and involves 55 elementary school students in Central Maluku Regency, Maluku Province, Indonesia. The data obtained was analyzed using non-parametric statistical tests with the Kruskal Wallis test type. The results of the research show that there are differences in students' literal thinking abilities in solving flat - shape problems in terms of AQ. By using the Post-Hoc test, it was found that the literal thinking ability of AQ-Cb students was significantly different from AQ-Q and AQ-Cp, while AQ-Q and AQ-Cp level students had no significant difference. This difference is because AQ-Cb level students are more thorough and work harder in solving flat shape problems compared to AQ-Q and AQ-Cp level students. Students with high AQ are generally more skilled at understanding information, interpreting problems, and being able to make solutions correctly.
Keywords: lateral thinking, adversity quotient (AQ), mathematical problem solving
