Positive psychology asks not just what is wrong, but what is strong. Based on the work of Seligman, Csikszentmihalyi, and Diener, this collection covers subjective well-being (SWLS), psychological flourishing, life orientation (LOT-R), flow states, gratitude (GQ-6), and resilience (BRS). If you are used to assessments focusing on symptoms, this section offers a refreshing alternative - tools that measure your strengths, satisfaction, and capacity for growth.
