What this test measures
P
Positive Emotion
How often you feel joy, contentment, and positive mood in daily life — the P in the PERMA model of well-being.
E
Engagement
Absorption and interest in what you do — losing track of time in activities that fully capture your attention (flow).
R
Relationships
Feeling loved, supported, and satisfied with your personal relationships — one of the strongest predictors of well-being.
M
Meaning
Sense of purpose and direction — feeling that your life is valuable and connected to something larger than yourself.
A
Accomplishment
Sense of making progress toward your goals and achieving what matters to you — competence in action.
N
Negative Emotion
How often you feel anxious, angry, or sad in daily life. In this profile, lower frequency of negative emotion contributes to flourishing.
H
Health
Your subjective perception of physical health and vitality — how healthy and energetic you feel day to day.
L
Loneliness
How lonely and disconnected from others you feel in daily life — a contextual indicator that complements the Relationships domain.
O
Overall Happiness
A single global snapshot of how happy you feel in general, summarizing your well-being in one judgment.

Why trust this instrument.
Based on Seligman's PERMA model as operationalized in the PERMA-Profiler (Butler & Kern, 2016), this assessment uses 23 independently developed items rated 0-10 to measure Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment, plus contextual indicators of health, negative emotion, loneliness, and overall happiness. The items were written by NOESIS to represent the published constructs; this is not the original PERMA-Profiler.
- Authors:
- Butler & Kern
- Year:
- 2016
- Range
- α 0.68 – 0.92(7 scales)
- Average
- α 0.82(good)
Cronbach's alpha. Values above .70 are acceptable; above .80, good.
The reliability, norms, and cutoffs shown are those of the original instrument (PERMA-Profiler (Butler & Kern, 2016)).
This NOESIS adaptation has not yet been independently validated.

The theory behind this test.
PERMA Model of Flourishing
Positive psychology framework defining well-being through five measurable pillars: Positive Emotion (hedonic), Engagement (flow), Relationships (social connection), Meaning (purpose), and Accomplishment (mastery). Each pillar is pursued for its own sake and independently measurable.

Frequently asked questions
What does this assessment measure?
It measures well-being across five PERMA pillars: Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment — plus health, negative emotion, loneliness, and overall happiness.
How does this relate to the PERMA-Profiler?
This assessment measures the same PERMA constructs defined by Seligman (2011). All items are independently developed by NOESIS.
Is this test scientifically validated?
It is built on Seligman's PERMA model as operationalized in the PERMA-Profiler (Butler & Kern, 2016), with published scale reliabilities of α = 0.68-0.92 for the represented constructs. The items are a NOESIS adaptation — independently written and not independently validated — so treat results as structured self-reflection.
What do high and low scores mean?
Each PERMA pillar is scored separately, so the point is the shape, not the total: a life strong in accomplishment but weak in relationships flourishes differently from the reverse. Negative emotion and loneliness count inversely — lower is better there — while health and overall happiness give context to the five pillars.
