Social Connection & Happiness Quiz

Social Connection & Happiness Quiz (Social Connection) · 7 questions · 2 minutes

Research consistently shows that the quality of our social connections is one of the strongest predictors of happiness, health, and longevity. Meaningful conversations, acts of kindness, regular contact with friends and family, and feeling emotionally supported all contribute to well-being. In contrast, loneliness and social isolation are linked to increased risks of depression, anxiety, cardiovascular disease, and cognitive decline. The good news is that social connection is a skill that can be practiced and strengthened. Even small actions — like reaching out to a friend, having a deeper conversation, or performing a random act of kindness — can create meaningful shifts. This quiz helps you reflect on your current social habits and identify opportunities to nurture the connections that matter.

This short quiz helps you explore how your everyday social habits may be shaping your happiness and well-being. It takes about 2 minutes to complete. After answering all 7 questions, you'll see your results with actionable insights.
