The Personal ProsperiscopeTM offers an easy-to-understand introduction to the "science of happiness". Researchers in this field use statistical analysis of survey results to link individuals’ subjective wellbeing, or happiness, with their demographic characteristics, place of residence, personal beliefs, work history, relationship status, and other factors.
The Personal Prosperiscope identifies the factors that may be increasing or reducing an individual's happiness, based on responses to approximately 40 survey questions and then calculates "predicted happiness", using the same scientific algorithms that power the Legatum Prosperity Index.
