The following questionnaire will help you identify your dominant level of thinking. You may choose to write your answers in the book itself. If you’d rather write your answers on a separate piece of paper, this may be the perfect time to start your Optimal Journal. You might like to view this book and your journal entries as a private conversation between you and me. As you read through Optimal Thinking, you will optimize your thinking and behavior. You can record your Optimal Action Steps, design your best life, and monitor your progress in your Optimal Journal.

For each statement below, circle the number that best describes your thoughts about yourself, about others, and about your current situation. Then add your score. 3 = Always 1 = Reasonably or sometimes 2 = Usually or often 0 = Rarely or never
