About This Assessment
Oxford Happiness Questionnaire, OHQ Test

Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ) Test

happinesslife satisfaction

The measure is designed to provide a brief self-report estimate of subjective well-being using the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ). It asks respondents to rate how well a series of statements reflects their typical experiences and attitudes.

The instrument contains 29 items and typically takes about 3 minutes to complete. Items are summed to yield an overall index intended to support screening and baseline characterization of perceived happiness and life satisfaction; results should be interpreted in clinical context rather than as a diagnostic determination.

The Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ) is commonly used in clinical and research settings to monitor change over time and to examine associations between well-being and related constructs (e.g., mood, stress). Hills is cited as an author in the development literature.
