How Positive Are You? Questionnaire

How Positive Are You?

How positive are you?

Would you say you tend towards having a positive mental attitude?
Or are you sometimes a bit too negative for your own good?

Take this simple 10 point test to measure exactly how positive you are.

Simply read the 10 questions and click the answer that you most agree with.

Then submit your response and we will email your results.


Q1 - When you think about the future do you feel confident or anxious?

Q2 - Do you think that it is wise to "Always expect the worst, and then you’ll never be disappointed"?

Q3 - Generally, do you think that your future will be better than your past?

Q4 - If something bad happens to you, do you tend to go over and over the situation, in your mind, for hours, days or even years?

Q5 - Do you tend to think that your life is mostly affected by your own actions: or do you think that your life is governed more by what other people do to you, (or are willing to do for you)?

Q6 - Do you set goals and try to achieve them?

Q7 - Do you feel you need to use alcohol or other drugs in order to feel happy or at least, to handle your stress?

Q8 - Do you think the past was better than today?

Q9 - Do you think that it is a bit too naive and simplistic to have “a positive mental attitude” towards yourself, other people and the future?

Q10 - Do you dislike any person, simply because he or she is a member of a group that is socially or ethnically dissimilar to your own?

    Load the Dice In your Favour

    19 December 2023
    Success requires all three dice; representing you, others, and circumstances, to score a 6. Your excellence, others' performance, and favourable circumstances must align for success. A challenging feat, over which you only have partial control.
    Load the Dice in Your Favour Imagine three dice: one represents "you", the second represents "other people", and the third represents "circumstances". In any given situation, for you to be successful, all three have to perform at a high level - score a 6. If you are good, but the others are not, then you won't succeed. If the others are good but you are not, you won't succeed. If you and the others are good, but c...

    Success is crafted through deliberate knowledge acquisition and rigorous practice, dispelling myths of innate talent. 'Sixth sense' stems from experience, not magic. Persevere through setbacks; quitting is the real failure.
    The Myth of Natural Talent The key to transforming good performance into excellent performance isn't rooted in natural God-given talents, but rather in the deliberate acquisition and application of accurate knowledge. Acquiring Precise Knowledge: Instead of copying the actions of others; individuals should focus on learning the best concepts, and true ideas specific to their field of interest. Applying the Knowledge: This i...
