How to score your quiz

Add together the numbers you chose for each question into a total. That’s your final score. Read below to see what your score means about how radiantly you’re living.

• GLOWING BRILLIANTLY: A score of 81-100

  • Shine on, you’re doing amazingly! Keep doing what you’re doing. You are doing a fantastic job of cultivating your light and keeping it shining.

• A STEADY FLAME: A score of 61-80

  • You’re doing an awesome job for the most part, and you likely feel pretty darn good. Notice areas of your life where you can inch upward for even stronger radiance, and make those changes for an even stronger flame.

• A FLICKERING LIGHT: A score of 41-60

  • It’s touch and go for you between feeling pretty good and not so good. And really, fine isn’t going to cut it… you know that somewhere deep down. Take this as an invitation to invest more in your radiance, return to YOU as the top priority in your life, and find alignment and authenticity in your relationships, actions, and behaviors. You’re not far off!

• DIM AND STRUGGLING: A score of 21-40

  • Consider this a wake up call that you might be living on auto-pilot, stuck in limiting patterns and beliefs about your worth/value, or holding yourself small and afraid. Remember: nobody benefits if you are operating from a low vibration, least of all yourself. Consider what lights you up and what drags you down. Start small by eliminating one or two of the drags and supplementing one or two lights. See what happens, and fan that inner pilot light. You’ve got this!

• IN NEED OF AN OVERHAUL: A score of 0-20

  • Alright, my friend, it’s time for a friendly intervention. You’ve lost sight of your light, but it has not snuffed out completely—it’s just burning really, really low. You probably feel pretty heavy, low, and maybe even hopeless. This is your ZAP to re-ignite yourself in a big way. You may need a massive shift in your career, relationships, self-talk, or lifestyle. You may need to make several small tweaks. Whatever feels most accessible for you, DO IT. If you’re really honest with yourself, you know what needs to change. More is possible for you. Take the wheel and steer yourself toward the light. If you need help, ask for it!

Try not to judge your score on a good/bad, right/wrong scale. Just see it as information. If you’re burning bright, shine on! If you’re light is vibing low, this is your nudge to step it up in the departments of self-love & care, boundaries, creativity & inspiration, mental health, and mind/body/soul connection. If you need help, ask for it! I’m always here if you want to be in touch.
