About LifeLevel
LifeLevel is a just-for-fun quiz that takes a lighthearted look at whether your life is on "easy mode" or "hard mode" right now. Answer 18 to 28 questions and you get a difficulty score from 0 to 100, plus the happiness score for where you live, the AI replacement risk for your kind of work, a short MBTI note, and a country where life might be a little easier.
What it looks at
- Work and money: type of employer, kind of work, take-home pay, overtime, commute, your boss and clients, debt, emergency savings
- Where you live: happiness scores for your country and city (or region), and your housing situation
- Family: relationship status, dual income, number and ages of kids, caring for parents
- Body and mind: sleep, fitness, burnout, people you can lean on
- Current events: fast-changing situations like war, armed conflict and government travel advisories are tracked separately as notices, a bit like aviation NOTAMs. Each one drops off automatically 30 days after it was last checked.
How the score works
Each answer adds or subtracts difficulty points. We add the happiness score for where you live and any current notice for your country, then run the total through an S-shaped curve so that ordinary situations land in the middle and only truly extreme ones get close to 0 or 100. Your MBTI type only adds a few points when your type tends to find a particular situation harder. A few questions, like your spouse's or kids' personalities, never appear on the result card but nudge the score a little.
What data it uses
Country happiness scores come from the World Happiness Report 2026. City values are this site's own adjustment, based on public statistics and surveys from each country. Every source and its license is listed on Sources & licenses. AI replacement risk by job is a just-for-fun estimate based on research coverage. Travel notices for this English edition follow U.S. State Department travel advisories.

Please keep in mind
This is a quiz for fun. It is not a psychological assessment, financial advice, or a basis for immigration or travel decisions. If you're feeling worn out, you don't have to handle it alone; reach out to people around you or a professional. In the U.S., you can call or text 988 any time, day or night.
