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
