Scoring

10-20: Fantastic! Your passion score is way above average. You are clearly passionate about how you spend your time and have confirmed that you need to focus on other areas of your life that might need to change.

21-30: You’re relatively happy with what you do but would most likely benefit from adding some more meaningful activities to your schedule.

31-40: You’ve got some work to do. You need to make some rather serious changes in order to enjoy life more and feel more satisfied.

41-50: You don’t need us to tell you that a significant change is in order. You already know that, don’t you? Take your time and we’ll get through this together.

Depending on your score, deciding to add more passion to your life may be a goal worth pursuing, and if so, it’s nothing to dismiss lightly. Don’t let yourself be sidetracked by your everyday routine. Living what you love means being willing to take passion seriously. Give yourself time to think about what role passion plays in your life. Keep focused.
