# The PQ Score Assessment

### What does your PQ Score mean?

The PQ Score is a measure of how often your mind is working in your favor as a friend, rather than against you as an enemy. 

This quotient is a percentage, from 1 to 100. A **PQ Score of 75 is the tipping point**, meaning your Sage is working for you 75% of the time and your Saboteurs are working against you the remaining 25%. 

### Why could your PQ Score change?

There are a lot of variables that go into your PQ score and your PQ Score can fluctuate by day, circumstances and mood. For the most accurate view of your PQ Score strength, taking the assessment over multiple days helps determine a more accurate number for your general PQ strength.

### How often should I take the PQ Score assessment?

We recommend taking the PQ Score assessment at least 3 times over 2 weeks, then calculating the average instead of going with 1 metric over another.
