Compared to most of my peers, I consider myself (less happy vs. very happy)

Some people are generally very happy. They enjoy life regardless of what is going on, getting the most out of everything. To what extent does this characterization describe you? (not at all vs. a great deal)

Some people are generally not very happy. Although they are not depressed, they never seem to as happy as they might be. To what extent does this characterization describe you? (less happy vs. more happy)

You can answer each of the statements above on a 1–7 scale. To score, total your answers and divide by 4. The average for adult Americans is 4.8. Two-thirds of people score between 3.8 and 5.8.

What are the implications for the creative conspiracy? Take the time to find out what the chronic level of happiness and well-being of your team is. If it is on the low side, don’t despair! Yes, it is true that some of our enduring level of happiness is rather fixed or immutable, but a great deal of it is highly subject to the intentional activities that we consciously choose to engage in. This means that we can change our enduring level of happiness by thinking more deliberately about what we want to invest our time in.
