Alicia, you're happier than 50 percent of the other people who took Tickle's Happiness Test.
How do Tickle's experts know this? Because they measured your overall happiness level in relation to other test takers. To do this, they examined your attitudes and behaviors in the seven proven areas of life that are known to determine your happiness: Contentment, Confidence, Gratitude, Personal Growth, Cheerfulness, Relationships, and Optimism.
For example, your test results show that your level of cheerfulness is one of the things that helps you feel happier overall. This means that for the most part you have a good-natured disposition and can take blissful delight in even the smallest things. You may also tend to be in good spirits more often than not. By seeking out humor even in hard times, you can keep your life filled with laughter. While your cheerfulness has a positive impact on how happy you are, it's still not the biggest factor that affects your overall happiness.
