Positive Intelligence (PQ): Unlocking Your Mental Fitness

​

What is Positive Intelligence (PQ)?

Positive Intelligence (PQ) is the measure of your mental fitness—your ability to handle life’s challenges with a positive mindset rather than being sabotaged by negative thought patterns. Developed by Shirzad Chamine, PQ is rooted in neuroscience, psychology, and performance science, offering a transformative approach to personal and professional growth.

 

Why Does PQ Matter?
Your mind can be your greatest ally or your biggest saboteur. Negative emotions like stress, self-doubt, and frustration often stem from internal Saboteurs—patterns of thinking that undermine your potential. By strengthening your Sage mindset—the part of your brain responsible for creativity, resilience, and empathy—you can boost performance, improve relationships, and enhance well-being.

 

The Core Components of PQ

• Saboteurs – The negative voices that create stress and self-doubt.

• Sage Powers – The five mental strengths that foster clarity, creativity, and confidence.

• PQ Reps – Simple exercises that rewire your brain for lasting positive change.

The Science Behind PQ
PQ is backed by research in neuroscience and psychology, showing that mental fitness training can rewire the brain for greater resilience and success. Studies indicate that just 7 weeks of PQ training can lead to:
- Improved performance (90% of participants use mental energy more effectively).
- Enhanced well-being (91% report increased happiness).
- Stronger relationships (97% improve empathy and conflict management).
