Quiz Outcomes

• 1.
  Result 1

  There are two ways to interpret your score. The first is your cumulative score, which gives you an indication of your overall sense of fulfillment and happiness in life: 81-100: I am generally contented and happy in my life. Feedback in specific areas might be useful. 61-80: My life is okay, but not always what I would like it to be. I could use some direction in making my life happier. 41-60: My life is not going in a direction I would like it to go. I need guidance in learning how to find happiness. 40 & Under: My life lacks fulfillment and joy. P.S. Don't give up - this is a great opportunity for growth! The second way to interpret your score has to do with individual areas, which are covered in the survey. Research has shown that the twenty-five areas addressed in the questions are specific indicators which contribute to one's overall sense of happiness. So, for example, if a score was less than four on a particular question, it shows room for improvement in that specific area. The lower the score, the greater the opportunity for growth.
