        abstract = {Aim: To introduce Positivity Quotient Scale (PQ) as highly reliable and valid assessment scale for assessing eight attributes i.e Kindness, Honesty, Gratitude, Optimism, Lifestyle, Resilience, Eloquent Communication and Cultural Values.
Methodology: A pilot study was done with 216 school and college going adolescents. Random sample were collected to maintain fairness and impartiality in sample selection.
Standardization of the scale was originally done with 80 questions which contain “Validity index items to give Validity Indicator score (Vi Score). The final PQ Scale consist of 24 questions to be filled in 4-5 minutes. 
Reliability: The reliability of PQ, i.e consistency of the results are computed with split half reliability method by using the ‘Spearman Brown formula” which was found to be .81
Validity: A valid test measures what it claims to measure. The questions selected should justify the intended concept or construct.  To validate it has been correlated with Carol Ryff’s Psychological Well being Scale, Wisconsin University with .96 as coefficient of Correlation.
Norms were established to convert raw scores into sten scores.
Conclusion: Positivity Quotient Scale is a reliable and valid diagnostic assessment scale.},
