What percentage of the time do you feel neutral (neither happy nor unhappy)?
About the Fordyce Emotions Questionnaire
Developed by Michael W. Fordyce, this questionnaire is a respected measure in positive psychology for assessing happiness and emotional well-being. The assessment examines:
- Current happiness levels on a comprehensive scale
- Time distribution of different emotional states
- Overall emotional patterns and tendencies
The questionnaire has been widely used in research and clinical settings to:
- Evaluate general happiness and life satisfaction
- Track changes in emotional well-being over time
- Identify areas for potential improvement in emotional health
- Guide interventions for enhancing personal happiness
Remember that happiness levels naturally fluctuate based on various life circumstances and events. This assessment provides a snapshot of your current emotional state and can be retaken periodically to track changes over time.
While this questionnaire is a valuable tool for understanding your emotional well-being, it should not be used as a diagnostic tool. If you have concerns about your emotional health, please consult with a qualified mental health professional.
