Measuring Progress and Possibilities with Scaling Questions
Scaling questions are a valuable tool in coaching and therapy, particularly within SFBT. They involve rating subjective experiences and progress on a numerical scale (typically 0-10). Professionals use them to assess the current situation, define goals, track progress, identify strengths, explore small steps, and gauge confidence and motivation. Individuals can also utilise scaling questions for self-improvement by defining their desired outcomes and current position, acknowledging their strengths, envisioning small progress, and identifying actionable steps to enhance various aspects of their lives.
