Human Emotions Measuring Tool

 We developed a positive affirmation prayer for building expertise in God's Fruits of the Spirit.

Some people weren't sure if they could immediately, or accurately detect the slow steady improvements in their emotional health, and their application of the Fruits of the Spirit.

So as to consistently measure our human emotional status, we have developed a quick, reproducible test to assess your current emotional status.

It is in Google Sheets (similar to an Excel spreadsheet), available on a "do it yourself" basis here:

Here is what the final output chart looks like:

It is suggested that the "perfect" score is 100% Happy, and 50% Surprised.

This Human Emotion Measuring Tool is based on The Feelings Circle, which was originally developed by psychotherapist, Dr. Gloria Willcox to facilitate better verbalization of emotions by her clients. See: https://thechalkboardmag.com/the-feelings-circle-chart-emotional-communication#sl=2

How to use this Emotional Measuring Tool: Think about how you are currently feeling (DO NOT think about how you should feel, nor how you'd like to feel, nor how you used to feel, nor how you might feel some time in the future). Open the "DataEntry" Tab (this Tab), then read the randomized list of words in the "Basic Human Emotion" column.

Scoring the Test

If that emotion listed totally, 100% resonates with how you currently feel, score it a "4". If you don't currently have that emotion whatsoever, score it a zero "0".

If you somewhat feel that emotion right now, score it a 1, 2, or 3; proportional to how strongly you feel that way.

Don't go into any explanations as to what and why you feel that way, just go on to the next word in the list until you have scored all 79 words (yes, some words repeat in the scoring section, 82 entries in total).

The Summary and the Basic Human Emotions are on a % basis are calculated automatically, and the graph as well. It is suggested that the "Ideal Score" is 100% Happy, and 50% Surprised.

After you have scored all of the 79 words, go to the Scoring Tab (bottom left of this screen, and click on it) to see your score.

Enter your name in Cell "E3". At the top of the page, on the command ribbon, is "Charts", with a menu option to update the chart title. Click on the menu item, and the chart Title is customized to you.

You may print this raw data page, the Scoring page, &/or the chart.

We also offer an Affirmation Prayer to help you build your good habits in God's Fruits of the Spirit.

As you work towards being a better you through God's Word, sin reduction, and practicing all of the Fruits of the Spirit on a more consistent basis, your scores will likely change & improve.

Re-do the test so you can readily see your progress on a week to week basis, or month to month basis.
