The norms are also added in order to identify the individual level of positive thinking. According to reviewing literature the positive thinking test for high school student had been constructed which is composed of two parts; demographic questions and the positive thinking test. The positive thinking test is composed of 6 components each including 42 questions relating to the positive thinking. The test is also efficiency both in term of content validity which IOC is more than 0.6 and discrimination which is significantly not equal zero. To confirm the validity of the model 466 samples had again randomly been selected. Most of which (73.6%) was female; 36.1%, 32.8%, and 31.1% of which came from Mattayom 6, 5 and 4, respectively. Most of the sampled students (53.6%) had GPA between 3.01- 4.00. In addition, the results of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) indicate that the model of positive thinking test is significantly appropriate at 0.05 level having CFI = 0.994, TLI = 0.993, RMSEA = 0.013 and SRMR = 0.036. Furthermore, the proposed test, together with the norms (T-score) between T21 to T72, is productive and efficiency both in term of the reliability and validity with Cronbach’s alpha coefficient be 0.947.
