How Rich Is Your Life?

Most people measure their lives by happiness or meaning. But psychologists have identified something better: richness. Not a third option alongside happiness and meaning -- a more complete measure of a life well-lived. A rich life is full of diverse, perspective-changing experiences. It has texture, depth, and range. You can be happy on autopilot. You can find meaning in a narrow lane. But richness requires the whole map.

This assessment measures your life across ten dimensions, grounded in five bodies of peer-reviewed research. It takes about 10 minutes. At the end, you'll see the shape of your life -- where it's full, and where there are gaps you might not expect.
