Life Satisfaction Self-Assessment
Helps you reflect on your overall satisfaction with life, based on your own standards and sense of what makes life fulfilling.
What this assessment explores
This assessment takes a step back from symptoms and struggles and asks a simpler – but genuinely hard – question: when you look at your life as a whole, how satisfied are you with it? Not just how you've been feeling lately, but your broader sense of how things are going on your own terms. It's built on the SWLS, one of the most widely used measures of life satisfaction in the world.
See the original scaleWhat you can expect
There are just 5 questions – it's short by design. The SWLS isn't trying to unpack the detail; it's asking for your overall sense of things.
The questions ask you to reflect on:
- How close your life feels to your personal ideal
- How satisfied you are with your life conditions
- Whether you'd change much about your life if you could
Your response gives you a single, clear snapshot of how you're evaluating your life right now – and a useful reference point to return to over time.
