The Happy Test


Time Traveller posted this test on her blog. I've always wondered if I was happy or not. I took the test and have been satisfied that I pretty much am. Who knew?

Results: Satisfied

People who score in this range like their lives and feel that things are going well. Of course your life is not perfect, but you feel that things are mostly good. Furthermore, just because you are satisfied does not mean you are complacent. In fact, growth and challenge might be part of the reason you are satisfied. For most people in this high-scoring range, life is enjoyable, and the major domains of life are going well - work or school, family, friends, leisure, and personal development. You can draw motivation from those areas of your life that you are dissatisfied with.

I got the same range: "Satisfied."

I'm guessing that "satisfied" means happy? I'd be hard-pressed to change much about my life to make me "happier..."

Sounds like you would, too. ;-)

Hooray for satisfaction!!

I got the same answer. So they associate happiness with satisfaction. Going through the form I realised I am satisfied with my life, of course there are things could be better but as they said

'growth and challenge might be part of the reason you are satisfied.'

:)

yay for satisfaction!
