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.
If you do not use Excel or Sheets, please contact us for custom PIQ Scorecard services.
