Individualized Feedback
Below you will find feedback comparing your answers to the answers given by hundreds of other people on some of the self-report scales in the survey.

NOTE: This feedback is most accurate if you gave answers to all of the questions on the survey. The more questions you left blank, the less accurate your feedback will be.
PSYCHOLOGICAL FLEXIBILITY 
YOU ARE VERY PSYCHOLOGICALLY FLEXIBLE - Your answers were higher than most individuals on the items asking about your ability to respond flexibly to the present moment.
You rarely, if ever, think that your thoughts and feelings mess up your life and instead you have a strong capacity to experience your negative thoughts and feelings – rolling 
with those feelings rather than running from them or letting them disrupt your life. You tend to believe that you can have a good life even when you are feeling sadness or fear. 
ATTENTIVE AWARENESS 
YOU ARE REASONABLY ATTENTIVE AND AWARE OF THE PRESENT MOMENT - Your answers place you right at the average level of how much you pay attention to each moment
of your daily life when compared to the thousands of individuals who have completed this measure. Thus, while you occasionally rush through life on automatic, you more often 
take the time to pay attention to your thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. You do a fairly good job of taking advantage of life’s moments and experiencing them more deeply. 
SELF-COMPASSION 
YOU TREAT YOURSELF WITH A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF KIDNESS DURING DIFFICULT SITUATIONS - Your answers place you right at the average level of how you treat yourself 
when you are going through a hard time, when compared to the thousands of individuals who have completed this measure. Thus, you may sometimes be intolerant of your 
inadequacies and the aspects of yourself that you don’t like. However, you may also be understanding and kind toward yourself when you’re going through something difficult or 
when you experience sadness and other emotional pain that you don’t want. 


HOPE 
YOU HAVE VERY LITTLE HOPE WHEN EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM - Your answers were lower than most individuals on the items asking about your levels of hope. 
Thus, compared to others, when you encounter a problem or difficult situation you tend to be unable to find a solution and easily become discouraged. 
Life frequently sidetracks you from putting energy and action into your deeper goals. 
BEHAVIORAL AVOIDANCE 
YOU AVOID DIFFICULT SITUATIONS A LITTLE LESS OFTEN THAN MOST PEOPLE - Your answers suggest that while you are in the average range on items asking about your 
tendency to avoid situations that were uncomfortable or upsetting, you are somewhat on the low end of that range. Thus, when you experience a situation that might be difficult 
or upsetting, you only occasionally avoid it, and more often you face it and work through it. font> 
DISTRACTION AND SUPPRESSION 
YOU TYPICALLY DISTRACT YOURSELF FROM UNWANTED THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS - Your answers were higher than most individuals on the items asking about avoiding 
unpleasant thoughts and feelings. Thus, when you experience unpleasant thoughts and feelings you tend to try to distract yourself from them and make them go away. 
You rarely accept them and allow them to be there. 
VITALITY 
YOU HAVE HAD AN AVERAGE LEVEL OF ENERGY IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS - Your answers place you right at the average level on the items asking about your liveliness in 
your daily life when compared to the thousands of individuals who have completed this measure. Thus, you reported typical levels of energy and enthusiasm for your daily 
life over the last 2 weeks, feeling reasonably energetic and having some interesting and fun things to look forward to and enjoy.
