This was one of the questions i always wanted an answer for. Well let me explain what it stands for. Was just thinking about the fights and arguments that people face and coined this term. Its called the "Kopa Quotient".(Kopa is a colloquial word in my language for anger in the well known English).I propose here many features that can trigger that "kopa" in you.
First of all i think its you as a person,i.e. if you are a born chili or an iceberg. If you know where you stand then its easier to analyze yourself (I know its not a great art doing the next bit!!!).Later comes the person on the other side (call him the "victim" or the "trigger"!). If he or she is someone you know for a very long time and guess his or her reactions, then the amount of "kopa" that floods you is very greater (I know there are counter-views to this, but thats logical and logic is not my subject you see!). I see it this way because you can always reconcile with the ones who are closer to your heart with that magical word "sorry".
Then of course is the subject or the reason for you being angry on that poor victim.It can vary from being late by half an hour to forgetting to return your lovely pen to ....... And according to me, the most sillier the reason, the greater the amount of "kopa" at that moment and easier is it to cajole that buddy of yours. Next comes the words you get at the tip of the mouth when you are in "kopa". If they are general "idiot..." "stupid..." kinds then the aftermath is easier to handle. Else if they are highly uncensored versions like "@#$!!" and "peeeeeeep", you better watch out. You are on the wrong way!
Of course the nature of the other person also plays a very very crucial role (I know its subjective but you can afford to take a guess!). Finally is the measure which indicates how easily you can be cooled down, if you require ice on your head or drinking a cool tender coconut could do the job! That is better if guessed by the "poor victim". Again, if its an intelligent guess he is saved, else he has a bad day!
May be with all these factors a reasonable KQ can be obtained by a simple addition of all these factors rated on a scale of ten (1 higher/simpler - 10 lower/complex) based upon the intensity, and finally you can get a KQ out of 50. Lesser the KQ, cooler you are! Is it not pretty simple?
Any takers?

Yup, takers here!!
For the uninitiated, My Kopa Quotient is around 9.81 now!, and you guessed it right its "g" :P.
Ok the reason behind my KQ shooting up abnormally is due to the quantification gender bias that I see here.
I think you've got the inferences by now. Yup!, I see a lot of "he"'s mentioned here at a unit squared Bayesian probabilistic distribution with a x-bar of almost 0.875(!) and very little sigma; On the other hand the counterpart's distribution is gamma hedged at various caps,even with various multi-super-exaggerations, I could only mark the estimate to a mere x-bar of 0.3125 and a sigma of around 0.1.
Aint that a biased event?. Metaphorically put, I would say that its an un-aerodynamic coin!.(Lol !)
Well, just as my sigma went astray, I lean back to the main course, I really enjoyed the read here, thats taking into considerations all those pontifical puns intended.
Good one!. Really Enjoyed it.
And before i wrap it up,I would love to bring in a petty cavil here.
And I quote-
"The measure of KQ depends on how easily you can be cooled down, based on whether you require an ice on your head or a cool tender coconut could do the job!"
Man!, that was mis-leading[lol lol lol]; Based on whether you require ice or tender coconut on my head?!.
Couldnt stop ROTFL there!. [ Reiterated that with a proper connote]
a nice one.... KQ...
i m not one of your taker.. but took time to give a thought about it..
i came out with the one below
Anger is a,
Nasty thing in,
Goddamn world making you go agog.
Evokes and tickle's ur ire,
Rages ur blood with the feeling we so call anger
well there is one specialty about the above piece of script... yeah my poor verse-ability stands high,
but the starting and the ending letters say it all...
To !nversed Poignancy!
Well, did not really know i had used so many "he"s rather than "she"s but i really dont repent that there. May be that also a fact in the world! I agree that can contribute a lot to your KQ but that's ok!!!
And coming to the statistical analysis of this proposed theory, well i would like to appreciate you for going into its depth! And sorry i really did not bother much since stats is not my cup of tea!
Thanks for your keen look into it! :)
To The Geek
Hey you need not be a taker to know what KQ was!
But nice to know you have thoughts about that "nasty" thing that you shared! Well you need not be a verbose poet to put things across! I liked the verse! Thank you :)
@ Spoo!
Well, no statistics fundae here; Just a blatant observation of the distribution figures would have showed that the distribution of "She's" was at about 33% of that of "He's"- You should have simply quoted that you're inline with the constitutional norms..:P :P
Lolz!
Just passing a piggy-back there..:)
