To find out how positive you are, please answer all questions to the best of your ability and as honestly as possible using the following scoring system:
System of points:
Almost Always or Always = 5
Most of the time = 4
Usually Sometimes = 3
Somewhat rarely = 2
I have never had = 1
Now write your score in the space to the right of each question:
1) If there is something unexpected that forces you to change your plans, do you quickly look for ways to detect an advantage in this new situation, even considering this new change?
2) Are you okay or something like most of the people you come in contact with?
3) Looking at your next year, do you think the year will get better and better than now?
4) Can you say that you are able to stop and admire beautiful things with admiration?
5) On the rare occasions that someone finds fault with you and/or if it’s something you’ve done or said, are you able to tell the difference between beneficial criticism and just getting bitter and complaining, which is usually best ignored?
6) Do you praise or acknowledge your family/best friend or partner more often than you complain or criticize?
7) Do you think humans will survive well into the next century?
8) Are you surprised or disappointed when a friend or family member disappoints you?
9) Is your general perception of yourself that you are happy?
10) Are you generally okay or comfortable being the subject of your jokes?
11) Do you think, in general, that your state of mind, whatever it may be, has a positive or negative effect on your physical health?
12) If you were asked to list your 10 favorite people, would you put your own name on that list?
13) If you think about the last moments, can you remember your successes before your failures and setbacks?
Now add up all your scores and record them below:

Scoring results:
Above 55: Be pleased that you are very supportive of yourself and anyone you come in contact with; you are someone whose optimism is a powerful healing force, mentally and physically possible.
50 – 55: This is still excellent. You should be happy and proud that you are a genuine positive thinker.
45 – 50: This is good. In general, you are still a positive thinker, at times. You could look into ways to improve it a bit, if you’re interested.
40 – 45: This is fair. Your positive side and your negative side are almost even. Your call.
Below 40: You tend to be pessimistic. Think of ways to improve your pessimistic approach to life, if you wish.
Remember, you may not like your life situation or the world around you, but your attitude will also affect your overall health and may determine your future life outcomes.
Now, it’s up to you, are you satisfied with your attitude or are you looking to improve it wherever you’ve scored? Life is determined only by you, no matter how much of a victim you consider yourself in your current situation.
