números que você inverteu e divida por

33. 1-2 : Not happy. If you answered honestly and got a very low score, you’re probably seeing yourself and
your situation as worse than it really is. I recommend taking the Depression Symptoms test (CES-D
Questionnaire) at the University of Pennsylvania’s “Authentic Happiness” Testing Center. You’ll have to
register, but this is beneficial because there are a lot of good tests there and you can re-take them later
and compare your scores.
3-4 : Not particularly happy or unhappy. A score of 3.5 would be an exact numerical average of happy and
unhappy responses. Some of the exercises mentioned just above have been tested in scientific studies
and have been shown to make people lastingly happier.
4 : Somewhat happy or moderately happy. Satisfied. This is what the average person scores.
4-5 : Rather happy; pretty happy. Check other score ranges for some of my suggestions.
5-6 : Very happy. Being happy has more benefits than just feeling good. It’s correlated with benefits like
health, better marriages, and attaining your goals. Check back – I’ll be writing a post about this topic
soon.
6 : Too happy. Yes, you read that right. Recent research seems to show that there’s an optimal level of
happiness for things like doing well at work or school, or for being healthy, and that being “too happy”
may be associated with lower levels of such things.
34. 1-2 : Not happy. If you answered honestly and got a

35. 2-3 : Somewhat unhappy. Try some of the exercises on
this site like the Gratitude Journal & Gratitude Lists, or
the Gratitude Visit; or take a look at the “Authentic
Happiness” site mentioned immediately above.
36. 3-4 : Not particularly happy or unhappy. A score of 3.5
would be an exact numerical average of happy and
unhappy responses. Some of the exercises mentioned
just above have been tested in scientific studies and

39. 5-6 : Very happy. Being happy has more benefits than

40. 6 : Too happy. Yes, you read that right. Recent

things.
