  • I lead a purposeful and meaningful life

  • My social relationships are supportive and rewarding

  • 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.
