How happy are you — really?

The Life Happiness Scale (LIHS) measures overall subjective well-being. It asks about your general satisfaction with life, positive emotions, and sense of meaning.

What the scores mean

Higher scores indicate greater life happiness. The scale provides a snapshot of your current well-being — it's not a fixed trait and can change over time.

About this scale

This assessment is based on research in positive psychology about subjective well-being and life satisfaction. It draws on concepts from Ed Diener's work on subjective well-being and Martin Seligman's PERMA model of flourishing.

Research shows that life happiness is associated with:

  • Better physical health
  • Stronger relationships
  • Greater resilience
  • Higher productivity
Happiness is influenced by a combination of genetics, circumstances, and intentional activities. While some factors are outside your control, research suggests that practices like gratitude, social connection, and meaningful engagement can boost well-being.
