I built this assessment because I needed it myself.
Not a quiz. Not a scorecard. Something more like a mirror — one that looks at your life across the dimensions that actually matter, and asks two honest questions: Am I flourishing here? And does the world around me help or hurt?
The framework behind it draws on theology, social science, and the ancient Hebrew vision of shalom — the idea that God intends not just survival, but genuine wholeness for every person. Twenty dimensions. Three questions each. No neutral answers.
It won’t fix anything. But it will tell you something true.

An Example Assessment
How this framework was built
Every question in this assessment is grounded in a specific framework — the Shalom Flourishing Framework — developed to measure human flourishing at every scale, from individuals to civilizations. Each of the twenty dimensions has a clear indicator: a plain statement of what flourishing actually looks like in that area of life. The questions follow from that indicator, asking how often you experience it, whether the systems around you support it, and how actively you practice it.
Nothing here is arbitrary. Everything points toward the same question: what does God intend for your life, and how close are you to it?
The Twenty Dimensions
Each dimension below represents a real area of individual human flourishing. The indicator tells you what flourishing looks like in that area. The assessment asks how often you experience it, whether the world supports it, and how actively you cultivate it.
This ia different thn the bigger Shalom Flourishing Framework, but both come from the same sources.
DIMENSION 1 — BODY & VITALITY
The physical and psychological wholeness that enables full human participation.
Your body and mind are not obstacles to your life — they are the instruments of it. This dimension asks whether they are serving you, whether you have access to the care you need, and whether you are genuinely happy with the life you are living.
| Attribute | Indicator |
| Physical Health | My body serves rather than hinders what I want to do |
| Mental Health | My mental and emotional state serves rather than hinders what I want to do |
| Healthcare Access | I have access to the healthcare I need when I need it |
| Happiness & Life Satisfaction | I am happy and satisfied with my life |
DIMENSION 2 — MEANING & CHARACTER
Life oriented toward something worth pursuing, formed by stable moral character.
Flourishing isn’t just feeling well — it’s becoming someone. This dimension asks whether your life has direction, whether you are living in alignment with your own values, and whether you are growing into the person you most want to be.
| Attribute | Indicator |
| Meaning & Purpose | I have meaning and purpose in my life |
| Character & Virtue | I am able to live in alignment with my own character and virtue goals |
| Achievement & Growth | I am able to achieve what I wish to and need to, and grow in my life |
DIMENSION 3 — RELATIONSHIPS & BELONGING
Being deeply known and embedded in genuine community.
We are not made for isolation. This dimension asks whether you are genuinely known and loved, and whether you belong somewhere — not just nominally, but in a way that actually sustains you.
| Attribute | Indicator |
| Close Relationships | I have personal relationships that contribute to my well-being and life satisfaction |
| Communal Belonging | I belong — I am part of a social system, family, or group that helps me thrive |
DIMENSION 4 — VOCATION & AGENCY
Meaningful work and real freedom backed by actual conditions.
Flourishing requires more than inner peace — it requires the material and structural conditions that make a full life possible. This dimension asks whether you have enough, whether your work means something, and whether you are genuinely free.
| Attribute | Indicator |
| Material Sufficiency | I have financial stability that allows me to meet my basic needs and thrive |
| Vocation | I am able to do meaningful work that helps me thrive |
| Agency | I am free to do what I want and need for my life |
DIMENSION 5 — JUSTICE & SOCIETY
The structures that protect people and distribute power accountably.
Your flourishing doesn’t happen in a vacuum. The systems around you — government, justice, institutions, education, digital platforms — either support or undermine it. This dimension asks whether you feel safe, whether you are treated fairly, and whether you trust the world you depend on.
| Attribute | Indicator |
| Safety & Security | I feel safe in my home, community, nation, and the world |
| Digital Safety & Security | I feel safe, secure, and grounded in my digital life |
| Justice & Inclusion | I am treated justly and able to fully participate in my community |
| Institutional Integrity | I can trust the institutions I depend on |
| Knowledge & Wisdom | I can gain the knowledge I need and grow in wisdom for living my life |
DIMENSION 6 — BEYOND THE SELF
How you relate to what is larger than yourself.
The deepest flourishing connects you to something beyond your own life. This dimension asks whether you are living with awareness of your place in creation, in time, and in relationship with God — and whether that awareness is shaping how you live.
| Attribute | Indicator |
| Ecological Mindfulness | I am aware of my impact on the planet and am able to contribute to its care and preservation |
| Temporal Wisdom | I am aware of my place in historical context and am able to positively impact the future for good |
| Spiritual Connectedness | I am able to practice and hold beliefs that center me in something larger than myself — God or a higher power — that help me live well and contribute to the good in the world |
Flourishing is not a destination. It is a direction.
This assessment is a beginning — a moment of honest reckoning before the next step. When you finish, you will know something true about where you are. What you do with that is the question Step 7 will ask.
