The Legatum Personal Prosperiscope


With a total Prosperiscore of 72%, your prosperity in comparison to others is prosperous.

Congratulations! You’ve already achieved a reasonably high level of personal prosperity. Based on your responses, we’d like to make a few suggestions of things you could do which could enhance your prosperity even more.


1.
You live very close to a major road, which may be convenient, but moving a little further away would improve your prosperity score.
2.
Work is important to you, but studies show the benefits of maintaining a good balance between work and leisure.
3.
Try reaching out and spending time with your family a little more often, if you can.
4.
Money isn't everything, of course, but maybe you should think about finding a job that pays better.
5.
You live close to a major airport and while this is convenient, your overall prosperity score would increase if you were to move a little further away.

2. Faith is a very personal matter, but "believing" tends to mean more happiness.

4. Spend more time socialising with friends, family and neighbours, if you can.

5. Try reaching out and spending time with your family a little more often, if you can.


Interesting test. I've never thought of myself as prosperous. For some reason the test also thinks I don't have any faith, which is untrue. I think 2km is also a pretty severe cutoff for determining if you live by the sea.

1. You feel like you have little freedom of choice over your life, but maybe you can start by addressing some of the factors that are holding back your prosperity. Check out the next page for more details.

2. Maybe there's a good reason you live close to a landfill, but if you can move away, it will help your happiness score.

5. Many people like to live near the coast. What would it take to make a move (unless you're a real mountain person!)?

I managed to get a 63% just because of where I live.

Faith is a very personal matter, but the social interaction of attending religious services is beneficial.

There's a chance to change the responses after receiving the results.

I was surprised that earning twice as much, being married and some other change I'm soon expecting, would raise my happines by just 4 points. (was it doing more sports?) Now I remember, it was meeting my family more. I even threw in the option to have more faith or something like that.

And this is even when I've had very low income for the year, and money is expected to efficiently raise happiness at this level.

Another, same kind of Finnish test surprised me as well: I'd be just as happy if I didn't use alcohol.

It should probably be lower than this cause I'm unemployed and living with my mom and step-dad, and I just guessed at how much they make, but I likely overestimated. I do know that they don't make enough money to keep up with expenses, so they're operating in the red and eating up savings, though...

So it's the test maker's fault if having a religion is a statistical predictor of happiness? :huh:

I might disapprove the practices of some religious people, but their happiness - or prosperity - has nothing to do with it.

i got 78%.
did anyone else notice that it says being male restrains you? that is silly.
also it listed commuting to work as a restraint for me, but i said it takes me 5 minutes to get to work? it takes me 5 minutes on a bicycle. that is hardly commuting.

i also liked that it has a picture of buddhist kids at the top of the first page, that seemed weirdly apporpriate and amusing in its way.
