Omighod! I'm not happy enough! AAARRRGGGHHH!!!
Just taken the Happiness Test, and I'm so dismayed with the result. Anyway, to sum this up, I'm below the Philippines' line of happiness, which means, the mean score of the Philippines in the Happy Planet Index. Thankfully, I'm above the worldwide average, but not in the ideal average.
Here's the details of my test.
=============
Happy Planet Index
Your personal Happy Planet Index (HPI) is 51.8, which is similar to that of countries such as Trinidad and Tobago, Argentina or Timor-Leste. Not bad. This is above the world average of 46, but still below the target value of 83, so there is more you can do to improve your health and well-being, or reduce your environmental impact. Your score is below that of your country, 59.2. | |
You: | 51.8 |
Average: | 43.2 [Average is of all online responses to this survey - not the average for your country] |
Life ExpectancyCongratulations. Your life expectancy is above average for your gender and country. Whether it's eating well, not smoking, getting regular exercise, or just being lucky enough to have the right genes, you're doing something right. However, nobody's perfect and we could all improve our health a little! Aside from getting all the above bits of your lifestyle right, there are some more surprising factors that can influence your life expect - for example, giving up your car, avoiding living alone, moving out of the city or shrugging off stress. | |
You: | 69.7 |
Average: | 80.8 [Average is of all online responses to this survey - not the average for your country] |
Ecological FootprintYour ecological footprint is 2.28 global hectares, or 1.27 planets. This is equivalent to the average in countries such as Suriname, Bosnia and Herzegovina or Lebanon.

You: | 2.28 |
Average: | 5.42 [Average is of all online responses to this survey - not the average for your country] |
Life SatisfactionYou reported a life satisfaction of 7, which is about average for many Western countries, including the UK, Spain and Italy. Worldwide, 58% of respondents in the World Values Survey reported a life satisfaction of 7 or lower. | |
You: | 7 |
Average: | 6.74 [Average is of all online responses to this survey - not the average for your country] |
Well-beingThe new economics foundation (nef) recognises that there's more to life than feeling good, which is why our model for well-being is based on four domains – personal feelings, personal functionings, social feelings and social functionings. 'Feelings' refers to your attitude to the way you, your future and society are. 'Functionings' looks at whether you have the opportunities to do the things that bring you well-being. Like with life satisfaction, a score of 5 is theoretically the middle score, but, given the way most people respond to surveys, is below average. | |
Personal FeelingsIn this online questionnaire, personal feelings are assessed with two questions – one testing your optimism and one testing your self-esteem. You have some anxieties about the future or yourself which are affecting your overall well-being. These are not too severe though... | |
You: | 5.05 |
Average: | 6.03 [Average is of all online responses to this survey - not the average for your country] |
Personal FunctioningsIn this online questionnaire personal functionings are assessed with five questions – two evaluating your subjective opinion on your health and how activity you are, the other three testing you for feelings of autonomy, purpose and worth. You are healthy and overall feel autonomous, purposeful and able to demonstrate your abilities to others. | |
You: | 5.97 |
Average: | 6.14 [Average is of all online responses to this survey - not the average for your country] |
Social FeelingsIn this online questionnaire social feelings are assessed with four questions – three assessing your opinion of your community, whilst the last looks at personal relationships. You have a strong sense of trust and belonging in your community and a happy personal life. | |
You: | 5.81 |
Average: | 5.67 [Average is of all online responses to this survey - not the average for your country] |
Social FunctioningsIn this online questionnaire social functionings are assessed with four questions – two assessing your job / studies, one your free time, and one your community participation. If you did not respond to the work / study questions, your score is judged purely on the other two aspects. Your job / course is not really allowing you to function socially in the way that you wish. Either it is very dull and unrewarding, or it is very stressful, leaving you little time to do the things you enjoy - or a bit of both! Are they any ways you could make it a little better for you? Alternatively, one way to relieve the boredom of work, can be to find other focuses of interest. Many take up voluntary work to offer them an alternative purpose. | |
You: | 4.61 |
Average: | 5.59 [Average is of all online responses to this survey - not the average for your country] |

Well, maybe is the time for me to be happy more often. No, wait. That would kill me.
