Welcome to your Oxford Happiness Inventory

The Oxford Happiness Questionnaire was developed by psychologists Michael Argyle and Peter Hills at
Oxford University.
Instructions:

Below are a number of statements about happiness. Please indicate how much you agree or disagree
with each by entering a number in the blank after each statement, according to the following scale:

• strongly disagree
• moderately disagree
• slightly disagree
• slightly agree
• moderately agree
• strongly agree

Please read the statements carefully, some of the questions are phrased positively and others
negatively. Don’t take too long over individual questions; there are no “right” or “wrong” answers (and
no trick questions). The first answer that comes into your head is probably the right one for you. If you
find some of the questions difficult, please give the answer that is true for you in general or for most of
the time.
