I am engaged and interested in my daily activities
I actively contribute to the happiness and well-being of others
I am competent and capable in the activities that are important to me
I am a good person and live a good life
I am optimistic about my future
People respect me
Add-up the numerical value to each of the 8 responses, varying from 1 to 7.
The possible scores range from 8 (lowest possible) to 56 (highest possible).
If your score is low, you’re definitely not flourishing. Our advice is to seek assistance either through your GP or professional psychologist www.psychology.org.au. The Black Dog Institute offers a more detailed free on-line assessment of your mood. http://www.blackdoginstitute.org.au/public/depression/self-test.cfm
If your score is mid-range, your well-being is average. Be proactive, seek help and move towards a flourishing life. Call us to find out how.
If your scores are high keep it up! You’re doing well but you may want some professional assistance in maintaining it. Call us to find out how.
