Test:

1. To know your
current level of happiness:

The first option is PERMA (an
acronym for Positive emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and
Accomplishment— the basic dimensions of psychological flourishing). The
questionnaire is 23 questions and once you submit your responses, you will
receive scores ranging from 0-10 for each pillar along with scores for overall
well-being, health, and negative emotions.

2. Check your Authentic
Happiness Inventory Score:

The second option is based on The
Authentic Happiness Inventory. It’s a quick set of 24 questions that
provides an overall measure of your happiness levels. At the end of the survey
you will receive a score between 1 and 5 based on your responses.

3.
Find Your Signature Strengths

This
week you will also have an opportunity to identify your Character Strengths,
which we’ll learn more about in an upcoming lecture. To identify your Character
Strengths, take the online test available on the VIA website. The test comprises 120 questions
and takes 30 minutes or so. There are no right/wrong answers, and there are no
better/worse answers. The key is to be authentic, so that you can derive the
most from the experience. Encourage your co-workers, friends, and family to
take the questionnaire too, so that you can discuss your respective scores and
the idea behind the VIA with them. After taking the test, you will get the
ranking of your 24 strengths. Print it out if you can and keep track of your
top 4 strengths.
