Analysis

分析

8 or more As: You are scoring very high for happiness. However, one problem with being so happy is that it may lead to complacency.

8个A或更多A：你的幸福指数很高。但是，如此幸福可能会导致自满。

You are less interested in changing yourself, or improving certain aspects of your character, than most people.

我不希望改变自己，或者提高自己性格的某些方面，做得比其他人更好。

6-7 As: You are just above average for happiness, either because you're basking in the glow of some recent positive life events or because you have a long-term tendency to feel good.

6到7个A：你的幸福指数较高，要么你最近正在经历生活中积极的一面，沐浴在一片赞美声中，要么对于幸福有个长久的打算。

Your happiness dips when you become self-critical—at these times you need to be kinder to yourself if you want to improve your happiness.

当你开始自我反省时，你的幸福感下降——如果你想提高自己的幸福感，这个时候你应该善待自己。

3-5 As: Your average score means that you tend to dwell on times when you have invoked the disapproval of others.

3到5个A：你的幸福指数一般，当你引起他人的反对时，你会仔细地考虑那件事。

You need to realize these negative messages may say more about those saying them than about you.

你需要意识到这些负面消息可能是更多地在说他们而不是你。

Greater happiness will not depend on others' approval for your self-worth.

真正的幸福不是建立在他人对你自我价值的肯定上。

0-2 As: You're scoring low on happiness, which means you're confusing the pursuit of short-term happiness (through comfort eating, alcohol or other self-destructive habits) with what would bring you lasting happiness—the pursuit of a meaningful long-term goal.

0到2个A：你的幸福感很低，这意味着你混淆了对于短期的幸福（通过舒适的饮食、喝酒或者自残的爱好来获得）的追求和对于持久的幸福感（追求一个有意义的长久目标）的追求。

You need to stop putting off working towards an achievement that would make you truly happy.

你应该停止拖延做能真正带给你快乐的事情。
