From the introductory post:
Based on this idea, could you write some kind of luminosity diagnostic? It seems like people would be more likely to want to change if they knew what they're missing (I know I would).
You mean a list of questions such that, if you can answer them easily, you're probably pretty luminous? Possibly. I'll think about it.
Did you come up with anything?
No, but now that you've reminded me, here are a few possibilities - things that, when I go through a chain of reasoning about them and find answers, make me feel particularly successfully luminous and lead to useful results:
What changes could be made to this situation I dislike that would make it totally okay? (Partial points if you can come up with mitigating factors that don't completely fix it, but not too many points.)
How do I feel about $PERSON? Why do I choose to spend time around $PERSON? Is that a good reason?
Am I in some sort of unusual mood, right now? Was I when I took $ACTION? Where did it come from? Can I induce it or banish it on purpose?
Am I likely to do this thing I (intend/agreed/plan/want) to do? If not, what would make me likely to do it?
Hmm, someone ought to create an LQ test, and/or a Luminometer app based on questions like that.
