Life Happiness Index: 30 factors that determine wanting to exist

I created a calculator that scores your life on objective factors across 12 categories (career, health, relationships, sleep, exercise, mental health, finances, etc.).

The premise is that if you score high on most areas, you have few barriers to wanting to exist. More importantly, maintaining these behaviors demonstrates functional capacity. You can't score high if you're genuinely not functioning.

Each question is rated 0-10 where 5 is average. Z-score transformation converts ratings to population percentiles, so a 7/10 becomes 84th percentile. Final score is the arithmetic mean. All data stays local.

Would love feedback on whether anything is missing. I am also curious if you agree on the premise. :)

//To understand poetry, one must first be fluent with its technical aspects. To fully grasp poetry, you must first understand its meter, rhyme, and figures of speech. After mastering the technical side, you should ask two questions: First, how artfully has the objective of the poem been rendered? This rates the poem's perfection. Second, how important is that objective? This rates the objective's importance. I propose a formula to rate a poem's greatness by plotting its perfection on a horizontal axis and its importance on a vertical axis, with the resulting area indicating its greatness. --Dr. J. Evans Pritchard//
