The Better Life Test – mini (BLTm) can be used with your business, department, school, or class. The test is totally free, online, and private, returning instant feedback to the email address each test-taker gives. (For privacy sake, that email address can belong to a neighbor, friend, or relative who agrees to forward the report back to the test-taker.) The BLTm presents 108 test items in a 5-point Likert scale format, and then asks ten non-identifying demographic questions about how the test-taker’s life is going. It takes just 15 minutes to complete.
At no cost of time or money for training or materials, as your group’s leader or leadership team, you can ask or require people in your group or organization to take this test. You can explain how it measures and enhances their own personal well-being, and will make the entire organization healthier. It can either be taken on their own time, or on company time.
Test results are quite private: unless test-takers show or forward their test report to someone, no one else can ever know whose scores are on the report. Test feedback will only give their 27 test scores, and not report how they answered the ten demographic questions. WELL Inc. will not collect or save the given email addresses or even the IP addresses of test-takers, or those of visitors to our website.
Free information given to you: when they put your email address into the Group Administrator Email question on their test, you can get a free report emailed to you at the end of your time period for testing, with summary information telling you:
Motivations: If taking the test is optional, you can explain the health benefits of taking the test for both them and their loved ones. (If a group is judged to need more incentives, perhaps a sponsor of this program can provide compensation.) Test feedback will encourage test-takers to discuss their test feedback with someone they know and trust, describing several ways they can do so.
Quality Control: It helps to give this test at regular intervals, to assess progress for your group over time, and guide institutional change. If you provide counseling or pastoral care for your members, respondents can be told that when they send or bring their feedback into a counseling session, it will help them understand their problems a lot clearer, and soon see better solutions.
Marketing, Recruitment, and Efficiency Benefits: Health-conscious prospective new employees will feel better about choosing your school or business as a place to work, and like your current workforce who takes this test, they’ll be more productive. Likewise if your school, counseling practice, or recovery program offers this test, your health-conscious students or clients will be attracted to experience what you and this test can do for them. As a result, they will live longer, earn more, and become better market influencers.
