Your subjective well-being over the past 2 weeks, in 5 quick items

What Is the WHO-5 Well-Being Index?
The WHO-5 Well-Being Index measures your subjective well-being over the past two weeks — not symptoms or problems, but positive mental states. The World Health Organization developed these 5 items covering positive mood, calm, vitality, restful sleep, and life interest.
What Does the WHO-5 Measure?
Unlike symptom-focused scales that ask what is wrong, the WHO-5 asks what is right. It is purely positive — how often you have felt cheerful, calm, active, rested, and interested in things over the past two weeks.
