Analysis
8 or more As: You are scoring very high for happiness. However, one problem with being so happy is that it may lead to complacency.
You are less interested in changing yourself, or improving certain aspects of your character, than most people.
6-7 As: You are just above average for happiness, either because you're basking in the glow of some recent positive life events or because you have a long-term tendency to feel good.
Your happiness dips when you become self-critical—at these times you need to be kinder to yourself if you want to improve your happiness.
3-5 As: Your average score means that you tend to dwell on times when you have invoked the disapproval of others.
You need to realize these negative messages may say more about those saying them than about you.
Greater happiness will not depend on others' approval for your self-worth.
0-2 As: You're scoring low on happiness, which means you're confusing the pursuit of short-term happiness (through comfort eating, alcohol or other self-destructive habits) with what would bring you lasting happiness—the pursuit of a meaningful long-term goal.
You need to stop putting off working towards an achievement that would make you truly happy.
