Gratitude Test (GQ-6)
Measure your trait gratitude level
Gratitude sounds simple — noticing the good stuff in daily life. But some people do it naturally while others have to work at it. The GQ-6 asks how much you agree with statements like "I have so much in life to be thankful for" and "I am grateful to a wide variety of people." Takes about 3 minutes.
McCullough, Emmons, and Tsang (2002) designed it as a trait measure — not a passing mood, but a stable tendency to notice and appreciate what's good. Six items, one score. No subscales to overthink.
Scoring Guide
GQ-6 (6-item) is scored as follows:<br>• Forward-scored items: 1, 2, 4, 5 (scored directly: 1→1, 2→2, 3→3, 4→4, 5→5, 6→6, 7→7)<br>• Reverse-scored items: 3, 6 (reversed: 1→7, 2→6, 3→5, 4→4, 5→3, 6→2, 7→1)<br>• Total Score Range: 6-42<br><br>Interpretation:<br>• ≤24: Low gratitude<br>• 25-30: Moderate gratitude<br>• 31-42: High gratitude<br><br>Psychometric: McCullough et al. (2002) report α=.82, unidimensional structure. Gratitude positively correlates with life satisfaction (r=.47) and negatively with depression (r=-.32).Result Interpretation
