An Example:
Let us consider the following example in order to show how we can apply the
science of Happinometry.
Example: Mary, a hypothetical person, considers each of the positive
happiness (J) factors and comes up with a total of 50 points for J. She is
reasonably well fed and, other than a trick knee and some slight discomfort from
having missed breakfast in the morning rush, enjoys general good health. She
therefore assigns herself only 10 points for the illness and 5 points for the
hunger values of F, for a total of 15 points for physical miseries (F). Through
honest self- reflection while assigning points to each of the emotional miseries,
she finds herself with a total of 45 points for E. As of the time of her
evaluation, her Happinometry measurement computers to -10:
H = J - F - E
H = 50-15-45 = -10
(Mary’s current Happinometry value)
