Happiness test
This document presents a happiness test to measure one's Be Happy Index (BHI) score. The test consists of 11 questions that assess different life domains like self, relationships, work, attitude, and health. Each question is scored 2-10 points depending on the response. Adding all the points gives the total BHI score. Scores between 84-100 signify one is answering life's call to joy, while lower scores may mean one needs to improve self-care, shift perspectives, or develop more gratitude to increase happiness. Developing awareness, acceptance, gratitude, laughter and smiling are recommended to boost one's BHI.

- 23. Whats your score? • To know your BHI - Be Happy Index just add the points mentioned against your answer • This number is your BHI according to this test by Dr Robert Holden. • Check what your BHI signifies...
- 24. If you scored84 to 100 points: Call to joy • Inside each of us is a call to joy. The more you answer this call, the more you discover the truth of who you are, what is important and what your life is for. By following your joy, you experience the fullness of your being and you discover a depth of creativity and talent that inspires the world. It's time to answer the call!
- 25. If you scored68 to 83 points: Getting there • This is a healthy score but you need to recognize the difference between chasing happiness and choosing happiness. Happiness is not outside you; it's not a destination. When you stop chasing it, you allow yourself to be more present, more available and more open. This way you find happiness
- 26. If you scored52 to 67 points: Semi-happy • So, how are you? Watch out for answers like I'm fine, Not so bad. Yes, you are surviving, but now it's time to start thriving! Imagine if you were to raise your BHI by 10% what do you think you would you be doing more of, less of or differently? Being semi-happy is safe, but its unfulfilling. Maybe it's time to take a risk.
- 27. If you scored36 to 51 points: Self-care • This score is a sign that you could be looking after yourself better. Beware of unhealthy self-sacrifice and self-neglect. Recognize how you might be limiting your own happiness. Remind yourself that it is not someone else's job to make you happy. Remember also that your healing and your happiness is a gift to others.
- 28. If you scored20 to 35 points: Shift happens! • You probably knew you were going to score this low before you took the test. You need to take an honest look at why you feel the way you do. I also recommend you get help in putting together a program of personal recovery. The good news is a small change will make a big difference to your score.
- 29. How to increaseour BHI • We can increase our happiness levels by... • Developing a sense of awareness and living in the present. • Also acceptance and a sense of gratitude increases our BHI. • However laughter and smile are considered to be the best options.
