What’s your happiness level?

This week I've decided to cover something a little different than the usual wealth/financial topic because I believe it's THAT important...

Answer this question: Are you happy?

You might be inclined to answer a quick "yes" or "no," but if you're anything like me, you'll soon be embroiled in a deep philosophical self-argument about what is happiness, really? And how to know if I am any happier than the next person?

Time to put your dilemmas away, because there is a place on the internet (of course! why didn't you think of the internet sooner?) where you can immediately receive an objective score of your personal, authentic happiness.

It's AuthenticHappiness.com.

Register for free and you'll have access to a large number of questionnaires which measure various character strengths and aspects of happiness.

Your answers to each questionnaire will result in a score, which you can see measured next to people of similar age, sex, education, etc. Your scores will be saved in your Test Center. And if you're feeling different later, you can retake the test. Cheater.

The site is run by the University of Pennsylvania's Positive Psychology Center, which sounds like a place for optimists if there ever was one.

Positive Psychology is "founded on the belief that people want more than an end to suffering. People want to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives, to cultivate what
is best within themselves, to enhance their experiences of love, work, and play.
