The Positive Intelligence (PQ) Program

Positive Intelligence Quotient (PQ) is a synthesis of recent breakthroughs in neuroscience, cognitive and positive psychology, and performance science validated by over half a million participants in 50 countries.

PQ is a measure of the strength of positive mental muscles (Sage) versus negative ones (Saboteurs).

Saboteurs react to challenges in ways that generate negative emotions such as stress, disappointment, self-doubt, regret, anger, shame, guilt or worry.

Saboteurs

• The Judge – The Master Saboteur
• Controller
• Hyper-Achiever
• Hyper-Rational
• Hyper-Vigilant
• Pleaser
• Restless
• Stickler
• Victim

The Sage handles challenges through positive emotions like empathy, gratitude, curiosity, creativity, self-confidence and calm, clear-headed, laser-focused action.

5 Sage Powers

• Empathize
• Explore
• Innovate
• Navigate
• Activate

PQ (Positive Intelligence Quotient) measures the relative strength of your positive mental muscles

(Sage) versus the negative (Saboteur).

PQ is the most widely used measure of mental fitness. Independent researchers have validated this measure to be the greatest predictor of how happy you are, and how well you perform against your potential.

It teaches you how to shift your mind from self-sabotage to self-mastery for optimal performance and happiness.

How the PQ Program Works

Designed like a mental fitness bootcamp, the PQ Program gives you the insights, motivation, and structure to practice for only 15 minutes per day over a 6 week period.

The program uniquely combines weekly video sessions, daily app-guided practices and weekly group coaching sessions, and optional individual coaching, to boost your mental fitness muscles.
