The Positivity IQ Scorecard
You have a goal to reach.
Maintain a minimum level of 68% Positivity
about achieving your goals.
How will you know and manage your Positivity progress?
People and organizations love to keep score and track their progress.
​
But reading a book is not a progress report. Memory is not a measurement.
​
You cannot accurately or completely remember or keep track of your thoughts about your plans, ideas, and goals in your head.
Developing a new habit, a Positivity habit, requires practice, measurement, feedback, and modification as necessary.
​
The Positivity IQ Scorecard enables you to record and track your positive, uncertain, and negative thoughts about achieving your goal.
​​
-
I discovered that "thinking" positively about my goal at least 68% of the time was not as easy as I expected.
-
I had no way of knowing how well I was doing.
-
The Positivity IQ Scorecard is a simple tool to keep track of how I really felt about my progress and confidence toward my goals each week.
Measure Your Positivity IQ
The PIQ Scorecard uses a few simple statements to represent commonsense self-talk about our goals.
You fill in your rating of how well each statement represents your feelings about efforts during the weekly period.
The seven statements cover a range of positive, uncertain, and negative thoughts you might have; the statements are generic, so you can use your own words when doing your self-assessment.
The goal of practical Positivity is to learn to manage the positive, negative and uncertainty/doubt so that the negative does not overwhelm the positive.
There are two scores based on the seven statements.
​
-
A total of the Positive scores. That's the starting point.
-
Then there is an adjustment factor for how negativity detracts from positive intentions.​
​
After you enter your ratings,the two scores are calculated automatically.
The goal is to increase your Adjusted Positivity score to 68% and maintain that level, or higher, to support your plans to achieve your goal.

How often do you measure Positivity IQ?
​
-
The recommended process is to fill out The Positivity Scorecard once a week.
-
The basic Scorecard is set up to record for 14 weekly periods, about three months. The conventional wisdom is that it takes 30-90 days to break or create an ordinary habit.
-
There is also a Scorecard with 26 periods for up to six months of weekly recording. The Scorecard comes with a complete instruction guide.
-
The current Scorecard works in Excel or Google Sheets. Google Sheets is a free download from Google.
