Preparing to Complete the FLQ-A

Welcome. You're about to complete the Flourishing Life Questionnaire for Adults (FLQ-A), a tool designed to help you better understand your current strengths, experiences, support systems, mindset, and opportunities for growth.

This guide walks you through what to expect and how to get the most out of the experience. It only takes a few minutes to read, and it will make your results more useful.

It is not a test, and there are no right or wrong answers. Your responses create a personal profile that supports reflection, meaningful conversation, and practical goals for growth.

How to answer

Keep these six points in mind as you work through the questionnaire.

1. Be honest

Choose the response that reflects what's usually true for you, not what you think others expect or what you wish were true.

2. Think recently

Base your answers on how you've generally been feeling, thinking, relating to others, and managing responsibilities over the past several weeks or months.

3. Trust your first response

Read each statement carefully, then go with what feels most true. Overthinking rarely makes an answer more accurate.

4. Use the full scale

It's normal to feel confident in some areas and want more support in others. That range is exactly what the FLQ-A is designed to capture.

5. Be kind to yourself

The FLQ-A doesn't judge, label, or compare you to anyone else. Everyone brings a different mix of strengths, challenges, and opportunities to grow.

6. See it as a starting point

Your results highlight strengths to build on and practical next steps to consider. They are not a final verdict.

What your profile may explore

Your results are organized around the same domains that shape the Flourishing Advantage model, from your day-to-day mindset down to the foundations of well-being.

Mindset: your adaptive orientation

The lens that shapes how you interpret experiences and respond to challenges and opportunities, shaped by your learning, relationships, and culture.

Roots: Personal Well-Being

Emotional regulation, optimism, self-efficacy, purpose, and psychological well-being.

Trunk: Relational and System Supports

Trust, belonging, psychological safety, mentorship, and supportive relationships.

Branches: Learning Agility and Achievement

Curiosity, critical thinking, cognitive flexibility, and confidence to keep growing.

Leaves: Personal Growth and Performance

Growth mindset, perseverance, communication, accountability, and leadership.

Final setup

1. Find your space

Choose a quiet, comfortable spot and silence notifications so you can focus.

2. Give yourself permission

Respond openly. The most helpful profile comes from answers that are honest, thoughtful, and true to your current experience.

3. Set aside the time

Plan to complete the FLQ-A in one sitting, without distractions.

When you're ready, begin the FLQ-A.
