Calculate your personal Human Development Index

[^_^ 5,021]

This is a followup to http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/284913-human-development-index-by-congressional-district-graphic/ where human development index values were calculated for various congressional districts.

Go to http://measureofamerica.org/well-o-meter/ to calculate your own personal human development index. I did mine, came to 7.5. It's a short 24 question quiz. The questions can be a bit personal but they don't have to know who you are.

mine is 10. I guess it's mainly because I don't drink or smoke and I exercise regularly. I went back through and changed the drinking question to yes and the 0 packs of cigarettes to the top one and it went down to 8.17.

eta: and I changed the exercise one to 0

Couldn't imagine anyone beating that score.

8.75

But it's weird.. it asks if a parent or sibling had heart disease or cancer... I answered NO. It doesn't ask if *I* had heart disease or cancer, which woulda been a YES, and I'm sure dropped my score considerably....

I'm not happy with mine. But, one of my grandparents is still alive and is 79 and she might live to 85 or longer. How am I supposed to know if she will. I said no. And I can't believe I had to click between age 30-40.

Also, because I made no $ in 2007, since I was a stay at home wife, it affected it even worse. I went in and put a pretend low salary amount and it raised it up.

[luckytxn 2,264]

Cool. I redid mine and answered more truthfully and this time I got a 10.

[chri'stina 190]

woot!

The only thing that is not fully truthful in mine at the moment is that I picked I exercise 2-3 times a week. Well, some weeks I do, some I don't. I did until Thanksgiving.
