The Oxford Happiness Questionnaire was developed by psychologists Michael Argyle and Peter Hills at Oxford University. Take a few moments to take the survey. This is a good way to get a snapshot of your current level of happiness. You can even use your score to compare to your happiness level at some point in the future by taking the survey again. If you are using some of the interventions presented on this site to raise your happiness level, you can see whether your score on the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire goes up as a result.InstructionsBelow are a number of statements about happiness.
Please indicate how much you agree or disagree with each by entering a number in the blank after each statement, according to the following scale:1 = strongly disagree2 = moderately disagree3 = slightly disagree4 = slightly agree5 = moderately agree6 = strongly agreePlease read the statements carefully, because some are phrased positively and others negatively. Don’t take too long over individual questions; there are no “right” or “wrong” answers (and no trick questions). The first answer that comes into your head is probably the right one for you. If you find some of the questions difficult, please give the answer that is true for you in general or for most of the time.The Questionnaire1. I don’t feel particularly pleased with the way I am. I am intensely interested in other people. I feel that life is very rewarding.
I have very warm feelings towards almost everyone. I rarely wake up feeling rested. I am not particularly optimistic about the future. I find most things amusing. I am always committed and involved.
Life is good. I do not think that the world is a good place. I laugh a lot.
I am well satisfied about everything in my life. I don’t think I look attractive.
There is a gap between what I would like to do and what I have done. I am very happy. I find beauty in some things. I always have a cheerful effect on others.
I can fit in (find time for) everything I want to. I feel that I am not especially in control of my life. I feel able to take anything on. I feel fully mentally alert. I often experience joy and elation. I don’t find it easy to make decisions. I don’t have a particular sense of meaning and purpose in my life.
I feel I have a great deal of energy. I usually have a good influence on events. I don’t have fun with other people. I don’t feel particularly healthy. I don’t have particularly happy memories of the past. (R) Calculate your scoreStep 1.
Items marked (R) should be scored in reverse:If you gave yourself a “1,” cross it out and change it to a “6.”Change “2” to a “5”Change “3” to a “4”Change “4” to a “3”Change “5” to a “2”Change “6” to a “1”Step 2. Add the numbers for all 29 questions. (Use the converted numbers for the 12 items that are reverse scored.)Step 3. Divide by 29. So your happiness score = the total (from step 2) divided by 29.I recommend you record your score and the date. Then you’ll have the option to compare your score now with your score at a later date.
This can be especially helpful if you are trying some of the exercises, and actively working on increasing your happiness.UPDATE: A lot of people have been asking for some kind of interpretation of the raw number “happiness score” you get in step 3 above. What follows is just off the top of my head, but it’s based in part on the fact that the average person gets a score of about 4.INTERPRETATION OF SCOREI suggest you read all the entries below regardless of what score you got, because I think there’s valuable information here for everyone.1-2: Not happy. If you answered honestly and got a very low score, you’re probably seeing yourself and your situation as worse than it really is. I recommend taking the (CES-D Questionnaire) at the University of Pennsylvania’s “Authentic Happiness” Testing Center. You’ll have to register, but this is beneficial because there are a lot of good tests there and you can re-take them later and compare your scores.2-3: Somewhat unhappy. Try some of the exercises on this site like the, or the; or take a look at the “Authentic Happiness” site mentioned immediately above.3-4: Not particularly happy or unhappy.
A score of 3.5 would be an exact numerical average of happy and unhappy responses. Some of the exercises mentioned just above have been tested in scientific studies and have been shown to make people lastingly happier.4: Somewhat happy or moderately happy. This is what the average person scores.4-5: Rather happy; pretty happy. Check other score ranges for some of my suggestions.5-6: Very happy. Being happy has more benefits than just feeling good. It’s correlated with benefits like health, better marriages, and attaining your goals. Check back – I’ll be writing a post about this topic soon.6: Too happy.
Yes, you read that right. Recent research seems to show that there’s an optimal level of happiness for things like doing well at work or school, or for being healthy, and that being “too happy” may be associated with lower levels of such things.ReferenceHills, P., & Argyle, M. The Oxford Happiness Questionnaire: a compact scale for the measurement of psychological well-being. Personality and Individual Differences, 33, 1073–1082.I’ve used “ don’t” rather than the more staid and formal “ do not” in the phrasing of the questions above; I decided to give preference to my own sense of what is more natural and conversational in American English.
(Remember that the questionnaire was developed in England.) I’ve also added the phrase “ (find time for),” which psychology researcher uses for clarification in question 18.—Note: Michael Argyle died in 2002. If you would like to contact Peter Hills, you can email him at prhills “AT” hotmail “DOT” com (seems to be outdated) or contact him by telephone/fax in the UK: Tel.: +44-1235-521-077; fax: +44-1235-520-067.—There is a problem with the comments below.
None of the early comments are showing up since an upgrade a few days ago. Here’s one example, a comment from me.
Says:The highest score you can get on an item is a 6, and the lowest a 1. If you add up all your scores and divide by the number of questions (29 questions), you’d get an average score for all the questions. The highest possible average would be 6, the lowest possible would be 1. Right in the middle would be 3.5, so you might think that’s what the average person would get, but this is just a raw score.
In fact, other studies show that people are generally somewhat happy on average. So it may not be surprising to hear that the average score on the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire is right around a 4, which is essentially what you got (since you got 3.9 out of 6).Rather than compare yourself to other people, it’s probably more meaningful to compare your score now to your score later, and see if there’s a change.
Some of the exercises on this site have been shown in scientific studies to make a lasting, positive impact on happiness. You might want to try some of them (I’ll be adding more), and see if they work for you. A few gratitude exercises are already on the site:.
School Happiness Survey
There are a lot of books, and many of the ones written in recent years are by experts who back up their ideas with empirical research. Naturally they want to give some background on how we know what we know, and most of them are good at making that part interesting. But most of them also make a point of telling you HOW to be happier.Tal Ben-Shahar, professor for the most popular class at Harvard, wrote the book, and subtitled it “Learn the Secrets to Daily Joy and Lasting Fulfillment.” There are exercises throughout the book that tell you exactly what to do.University of California professor wrote her book, specifically as a how-to guide to becoming happier. Check out my about it.And Martin Seligman, founder of the modern positive psychology movement, gives you lots of tools to improve your approach to your life satisfaction, including specific interventions like the in his book,.
The results that I got from this questionnaire matched with my state of happiness that I believe I currently have, which is good.One thing that I noticed is that individual questions are highly correlated with the overall happiness, so the answers may be biased towards achieving the state of happiness that he/she believes he/she has.I am not sure if there are questionnaires that are more complex, so that the subject can’t predict how individual answers affect the overall result. A pessimistic or optimistic subject can predict the target result based on individual questions, and in this way the answers may be tweaked so that the target result is achieved.

Betim, you raise a couple of good points.Can people’s actual level of happiness be different from the level of happiness they think they have? Or is the person him/herself the best judge of his/her own internal state of happiness? Is happiness the same as subjective well-being? I think most psychologists are not ready to try to draw these distinctions. At the very least, they would be hesitant at this point to assert that we had the means to do so with any scientific rigor at present.
So currently a questionnaire like this that asks questions straightforwardly and somewhat transparently (and expects that people will just answer simply and honestly) serves its purpose.I have conducted research using questionnaires that took a more complex and indirect approach, just as you suggest, i.e., the Sense of Community Index based on Hogge’s lens model. But in that case the underlying theoretical model was explicitly more complex, Sense of Community being theorized as consisting of four discrete elements. When the questions are intended simply to combine to get at a single scalar construct without such complications, each question’s being highly correlated with that construct is not inappropriate.
Came here through Wikipedia. I usually feel pretty “content” or unhappy, but I actually felt myself being kind of proud of myself while going through your questions like it was dawning on me that I’m really not all that unhappy. Your test actually made me feel happier.I didn’t score extremely high, but I’m pretty happy that I’m not a depressed “loser” that sometimes I think I am. Really weird how this self-image can be proven wrong when one actually thinks about the actual circumstances.Anyway, I’m in a dark period of my life right now. I know full well in the past I wouldn’t even be on this page (I’ve been unquestionably happy in the past then again, maybe I wasn’t!).
Happiness Inventory Questionnaire
Here’s another early comment I made (on August 17, 2009) which isn’t being displayed above right now because of a glitch:Jill, you’ve raise some important issues. Right in the middle of them is the basic question “What is happiness?”After thinking about it awhile, I’ve realized this is a better topic for its own blog entry (or even a journal article) than a quick response here.But let me mention one point. There seem to be two main meanings of happiness. One is happiness as a transitory emotion, a feeling. There are researchers who seem to think this is all there is, and would define a happy life as nothing more than a series of emotionally “up” moments.Another meaning has a stronger cognitive component, and involves memory and evaluation. When a mother says her children have been her joy in life, or when a guy with a melancholy or crabby disposition looks back with great satisfaction and says his life was wonderful and that he’s happy, do we disbelieve them?Researchers have not yet come to an agreement about this dichotomy. They’re still quite a ways from being able to shed much light on most of the big questions.
What’s really known scientifically advances slowly.In the meantime, reflect, meditate, be mindful, search your heart for what’s really important, and live life to the fullest. Like a few other people I found through my scores that I wasn’t as unhappy as I perceived (I scored 3.6, pretty average), which amazed me because I have felt so down in the dumps for months, that I was worried I was depressed (but of course too down to be diagnosed).This rather simple questionnaire has shown me that there is still a bit of the happy old me still in there. Now that I feel it still there, I can use the suggested techniques to be that happy, fulfilled person again.Thank you Dr Steve Wright.
I scored 4.034 which made me a little happy; ) but did not surprise me. I have had lots of ups and downs, death, divorce, depression, dependence, disease (that last one was actually pretty good – a large brain tumor which, once dug out of my cranium – made me feel MUCH better and also proved how many people cared about me! Heh!) I had a whole new outlook on life too. Bad things can be good in the end y’know.
I have a loving family – that is very important. I also get anger out of my system, not let it linger and fester.I just have my own little freak out and vent like mad and expel the bad feelings. My hubby listens & helps with advice and still loves me. I also LOVE to have a huge laugh (usually at my own expense) and that is better than anything! I was very down at a few points but there is a way out and hang in there if you feel bummed out, people. Get some helpit’s true you can be happy again. Love, Robyn.
I’m happy this page was beneficial to you.1. There is a copyright notice in the bottom right corner of each page (in small print). It of course doesn’t apply to the questionnaire itself (which was designed by Michael Argyle and Peter Hills) or to other material I’m quoting on other pages throughout the site.2. I would like to make this material available to, and helpful to, as many people as possible, so I’m happy to approve – and would appreciate – your adding a link and/or banner from your site to my site.3. Another good resource besides this test and some of the other material on is another site run by the people at the Positive Psychology Center at the University of Pennsylvania. They have quite a few related psychological tests you can take online.
