What this test adds
Review one score based on ten published statements, with all ten statements shown in the answer review.
A small next step
Check the score against a fortnight rather than a sitting: one line a day for what the day had in it and whether you felt blue, worried or at ease. Two weeks of lines will tell you whether the score reflected your life or the week you happened to take it in.
Questions people ask
Does this give me a happiness score?
It gives one score on this test's own range, with no band and no comparison with anyone else.
Why is there nothing here about the people in my life?
Because this scale is about outlook rather than company. Our loneliness self-check asks about contact and about having somebody to confide in, and it asks properly rather than in passing.
My score came out low. Does that mean I am depressed?
No. This is a reflection on outlook, not a depression screen. If low mood persists or affects daily life, speak with a doctor.
Are my answers stored or sent anywhere?
No. The result is calculated in this browser tab. Answers and result text are never sent as analytics properties and are never written to browser storage.
