Quality of Life

Preliminary interpretation

This 40 point “life quiz” can help identify your health strengths and weaknesses. Our follow-up analysis will help guide you towards a more balanced life. Print out and complete this Quality of Life Quiz for a robust and comprehensive snapshot of your life.

When you have responded to each of the 40 categories, transfer the scores to the graph provided.

1. Place a dot on the graph with your score from 1-9 for each question. Note there
   is a separate line for “No Answer.”
2. Connect the dots. You’ll probably see a zigzag pattern.
3. Compute your average score. Add all your scores and divide by the number of
   categories you answered. Don’t count the categories you didn’t answer.
4. Use your average to draw a straight line across the Quality of Life graph at the
   point of the average for your scores. If your average is 6, then draw a straight
   line at 6 across the entire page.

This average is useful in two ways.

1. First, the dots above your average represent strengths and perceived strengths.
   The scores below your average represent the challenges, struggles and stresses
   you currently face – or feel that you are facing.
2. Second, this average usually correlates with your energy level. Those who average
   below 5 often experience a low energy state – burnout or depression. Higher
   averages indicate high energy and optimism.

Remember not to overemphasize any one score. This snapshot merely gives you a good overall summary of your life. While outlining strengths it also offers great opportunities for growth in areas of weakness.
