In it's description of how I answered, it really missed the mark on several things, so I'm going to take it again and see if I can get my overall in the teens this time.

I was really hoping for an end result that said something like "OMGWTFBBG YOU ARE PI**ING ON FUTURE GENERATIONS"

(I got a 54)

48.1

Your personal Happy Planet Index (HPI) is 48.1, which is similar to that of countries such as Italy, Switzerland or Iceland. This is above the UK average, about the same as the world average of 46, but well below the reasonable ideal we have set, of 83. Your score is above that of your country, 28.8.


My life expectancy is 95.4

This is good news!

"Life Satisfaction

You reported a life satisfaction of 4. Sorry that things aren't working out. At a national level, your score matches the mean for Belarus - where half the population is as sad or sadder. Worldwide, one fifth of respondents in the World Values Survey reported a life satisfaction of 4 or lower, whilst 7.8% of British respondents did."

You know what really sucked? Question 18

How many of your grandparents reached, or have reached, 85 years old?

I had to answer none. But I have two grandparents who are approaching 90, but neither is related by blood. AAAAAAARRRRRRGGGG!!!!

well above the average for my country. (28).

hmmm.

I could have a smaller ecological footprint. But that takes effort, and i'm lazy.

It has some flaws . . . like did any of your grandparents live over age 85? It gives you the option of 1, 2, 3 or 4 but that's misleading because what if you have grandparents that haven't reached that age yet or died for unnatural reasons like car accidents;

56. If I had taken this test 2 years ago I would have probably gotten less than 20 for sure just because of job associated stress. If I had taken it 5 years go I would have gotten less than a 10.
