I asked ChatGPT for a measurement for how well a person is living their life and this is what ChatGPT produced.
A common Likert scale for measuring happiness is the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS), which is a 5-point scale ranging from “strongly disagree” to “strongly agree.” The SWLS measures global life satisfaction, which is a broad and stable aspect of happiness that reflects a person’s overall evaluation of their life.
The five items in the SWLS are:
1. In most ways, my life is close to my ideal.
2. The conditions of my life are excellent.
3. I am satisfied with my life.
4. So far, I have gotten the important things I want in life.
5. If I could live my life over, I would change almost nothing.
Participants are asked to rate their agreement with each item on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being “strongly disagree” and 5 being “strongly agree.” The scores for the five items are then added up to give an overall satisfaction with life score, with higher scores indicating greater life satisfaction or happiness.
