I don't think this exercise is really doable, without a few days to spare and the endurance of a demigod. Every time we think, every time we speak, every action we take is taking a position of some sort. Right now I'm taking the position that this assignment, while seemingly arbitrary, is there to point this fact out. With the last sentence, I took the position that the exercise has a purpose deeper than face value. I could go on for hours down this seemingly endless rabbit hole. As for the second half of the exercise... (Take a survey of how many people take a position on something) No. Just... No. It's tedious, uninteresting, and will probably gather a few worried glances from whichever parties we are around. It seems weird to make a tally whenever someone says something.
It's safe to say that the amount of positions we take daily are pretty much impossible to keep track of. That and I'm kind of lazy and want to take the philosophical, easy way out.
