Pers. Development Score
Personal or Self Development Score (PDS or SDS)
A Score or Index is a composite measure expressed in a single number calculated from an array of independently weighted indicators.
An index often has its own calculation method and is often expressed as a change from a base value. Then, the % of change is more important than the actual numeric value.
Indexes also summarize and rank specific items.
Constructing the items involves 4 steps:
- item selection to be based on the degree of specificity in which a dimension is to be measured, and their variance, how far a set of numbers are spread out,
- items should be examined on their various empirical relationships,
- indices/scores are designed, which involves determining their score ranges and weights for each item,
- indices/scores should be validated, which involves testing whether they can predict indicators related to the measured variable not used in their construction.
Calculating the variance of 8 indicator numbers, using the Wellness Wheel:
Suppose these numbers consists of 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9,10.
The arithmetic mean also called the "average", is:
(2+3+4+5+7+8+9+10)÷8 = 6.
The variance of these 8 numbers is the squared deviation from this average, in order to eliminate the minus element.
These deviations are (2-6)=-4, (3–6)=–3, (4–6)=–2, (5-6)=-1, (7–6)=1, (8-6)=2, (9-6)=3, (10–6)=4.
Thus the variance of the 8 numbers is:
(-4)² + (-3)² + (-2)² + (-1)² + 1² + 2² + 3² + 4² = 7.5

The Personal or Self Development Score (PDS or SDS) is a summary measure of achievements in the key dimensions of personal development, expressed in a single number.

These key dimensions, on the most fundamental level, are:
1. living a long, healthy, balanced life;
2. being knowledgeable;
3. gaining wisdom;
4. maintaining a pleasant living standard (LS).
- The health dimension is assessed by the source status of your DNA, RAS, and management of your Attention.
- The education dimension is measured by the number of years of constantly and methodically educating yourself about, who and what you are, and why you are here, essentially.
- The wisdom dimension is measured by the core quality and quantity of insights you received after experiences and practices performed.
- The LS dimension is measured by your basic (QLI) Quality of Life Index X monthly (DPI) Disposable Personal Income.
QLI (higher is better) is an estimation of overall quality of life by using an empirical formula which takes into account:
- the purchasing power index (higher is better),
- house price to income ratio (lower is better),
- noise/soil-pollution index (lower is better),
- air/water-pollution index (lower is better),
- cost of living index (lower is better),
- health care index (higher is better),
- traffic time index (lower is better),
- climate index (higher is better),
- safety index (higher is better).
Current formula (Java program-language):
index.main = Math.max (0, 100 + PurchasingPowerInclRentIndex / 2.5 – HousePriceToIncomeRatio * 1.0 – Noise/soil-PollutionIndex * 2.0 – Air/water-PollutionIndex * 2.0 / 3.0 – CostOf LivingIndex / 5 + HealthIndex / 2.5 – TrafficTimeIndex / 2.0 + ClimateIndex / 2.0 + SafetyIndex / 2.0 );
How PPI= purchasing power (including rent) index, pollution index, property price to income ratios, COL= cost of living index, safety index, climate index, health index and traffic index are calculated, please look up their respective pages.
The PPI & COL indices are relative to New York City (NYC). There, each index is 100(%). A rent index of 120 elsewhere means average rents are 20% more than in NYC. A rent index of 70 means average rents are 30% less than in NYC.

These 4 key and fundamental dimensions are measured by a set of indicators, calculated from correct answers to questions about the various materials published on our website, which are:
1. Soul-sciences, Neuro-sciences II;
2. Neuro-sciences I, Particle-sciences, Celestial-sciences;
3. Trauma-sciences, Practices, About you;
4. Quality of Life and Income Indices.
The scores for the 4 PDS dimension indices are then aggregated into a single number composite index.
Improving your PDS improves your sense of core-self, balance, empowerment, equality, security, abundance, etc.
