    Happy to report 62/67.

    My favorite was:
    I can take a shower everyday if I want.

    The "if I want" : )

    LOL... The first dozen items can stop people in their quizzical track. And get them on an infinite loop.

    This item "My childhood was full of trauma" would beg the question "why so?", and get the answer:" because...we didn't have airconditioning or hotwater or iphone ".

    In the spirit of "continuous improvement" [ the prime goal of quality improvement in our own lives], we must strive to complain about what we lack in life, and not give in to the hubris of have-enuf-already mindset.

    true but one also needs contentment in life.

    We should strive to make progress but our contentment keeps us grounded.

    Both the views are not wrong though.

    Also, progress should be made on the things we truly want and like and not what the society decides or to prove to another person.

    :hello:A self help questionnaire more suitable for non pandemic period and to the ones not yet retired. Some questions are not relevant to some geographies. Some are with yes and No answers.

    However I tapped the squares and got this healthy result.

    You checked 48 out of 67 of the privileges on this list.

    You carry privilege in life, in less-visible and invisible ways. There's nothing wrong with that — many of the things on this list are comforts that everyone should be afforded. But it's important to recognize that so many things we take for granted in our daily lives as being "normal" are actually not normal at all for others. Let's use that knowledge to make the world a safer, healthier, and more inclusive place for all.

    I reserve my comments for the present.

    Thanks and Regards.

    Just scores are boring. OP should ask members to share the questions they got a 0 on. We can then help each other towards higher scores.
