Is it just me, or does that wording of that HPI result read like something straight out of a Philip K. Dick novel?emordnilap wrote:I did that one. Some questions are odd and there's no 'it depends' answers. However:RenewableCandy wrote:I started doing the NEF's "happiness index" quiz

Your personal Happy Planet Index(HPI) is 73.5. Impressive. This is above the world average of 46, but still below the target of 83, which represents a good life that doesnít cost the Earth. There are still some ways that you can improve your score. Life Expectancy Hurray! Your life expectancy is 90.7, well above average for your gender. Probably, you're doing all the major things right ñ eating well, not smoking, getting regular exercise, and you're lucky enough to have the right genes. Ecological Footprint Your ecological footprint is 2.58 global hectares, or 1.43 planets. You are using between one and one and a half times your share of the planet's resources. If you are living in a developed country like the UK, this is no mean feat - the UK average is 5.4 g ha. Your footprint is below average for industrialised countries, typical instead of people in many middle income countries such as Costa Rica. The world average is 2.2 g ha. Given the infrastructure and society you live in, knocking a few more deci-hectares of your footprint is, we know, very tricky. Life Satisfaction We've measured your well-being in three ways. Firstly, you told us how satisfied with life you are over all. Here's how your answer compares with those in Britain and around the world: You reported a life satisfaction of 8. This is the most common response across UK and indeed all of Europe. However, it is above average, so we are happy that you are so happy. Only in two countries is the mean life satisfaction higher - Switzerland and Denmark. Feeling Good? You also answered some questions about your recent mood. These are the same questions as DEFRA (the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) used in a national study in 2007. Our scale goes from 0-28, with a low score meaning lots of negative moods and a high score meaning lots of positive moods. The average score in England is 19.6. Your score today is 22.
