Explore describing a need, making a specific request, and leaving room for another person’s choice. Start with a small everyday example, then reflect on what you actually tried. This is an original educational reflection on practice habits, not a validated psychological assessment or a score for how positive a person you are.
Try the exercise first
Think of a small, appropriate request, such as asking where a document is stored. Write what would help, who might reasonably know, and a short question. You may keep the request as a draft rather than sending it.
An example to make it concrete
“Could you tell me which folder has the meeting notes?” is clearer than expecting someone to know you are confused. They may help, suggest someone else, or be unavailable. Their answer does not determine whether asking was reasonable.
Explore three practice areas
Describing the need
Name the practical information or assistance you want. Use your own experience rather than an answer you think you should give. A step you did not try is useful information too.
Making the request clear
Ask a manageable question without demanding a particular response. Use your own experience rather than an answer you think you should give. A step you did not try is useful information too.
Responding with choice
Consider the answer while retaining your own boundaries. Use your own experience rather than an answer you think you should give. A step you did not try is useful information too.
Take the twelve-question reflection
Use the large test button below. Answer four statements in each area using the five frequency choices. Choose “Never / no opportunity” for a step you did not experience. A higher total means you reported the habit more often; it does not establish an ability, diagnose a condition, or rank you against others.
After the questions, enter your first name and email and consent to saving those details to unlock results on this page. Results are not emailed. Your answers and scores are not stored. Future marketing emails are a separate optional choice.
Your results give you a small next practice for each area. They also include a button to Positivity Practice on the Intuisity website and a link to the iPhone app. A free account is required for Positivity Practice and saved Progress Reports. The test is separate from a game score. Copy anything you want to keep before reloading, because your answers and results stay in this tab only.
