Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ) Test

happinesslife satisfaction

This self-report measure is designed to provide a brief index of perceived well-being and life satisfaction. The Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ) is commonly used in clinical screening and research contexts to characterize subjective happiness as a global construct.

It consists of 29 items and typically takes about 5 minutes to complete. Respondents rate statements using a fixed-response format; scores are summed to yield an overall level of self-reported happiness for descriptive or comparative purposes.

The Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ) is attributed to Peter Hills and is intended to support monitoring over time and to inform clinical formulation when interpreted alongside other assessment data and the individual’s broader psychosocial context.
