Enter a questionnaire that is meant to test your happiness. I borrowed this questionnaire from Natalie at Keeping Natalie Honest. I filled it out quickly, it took less than 5 minutes and it proved to be completely useless for me. I guess it cemented the fact I'm happy with my life, well, happy enough at least.
I scored 4.7 out of 6....what will you score? Take the questionnaire by clicking the read more link below.

Calculate your score
Step 1: Items marked (R) should be scored in reverse:
If you gave yourself a "1," cross it out and change it to a "6."
Change "2'' to a "5''
Change "3'' to a "4''
Change "4'' to a "3''
Change "5'' to a "2''
Change "6'' to a "1''
Step 2: Add the numbers for all 29 questions. (Use the converted numbers for the 12 items that are reverse scored.)
Step 3: Divide by 29. So your happiness score = the total (from step 2) divided by 29.
We recommend you record your score and the date. Then you'll have the option to compare your score now with your score at a later date. This can be especially helpful if you are trying some of the exercises, and actively working on increasing your happiness.
Scoring
The lowest possible score is 1 and the highest possible score is 6. (The average is around 4.30).
