Remember that your Hopefulness is a Power Center in your brain. We explained that your Hopefulness (power center) is like a cellphone that uses 10 batteries (or power cells). You are most hopeful if all ten batteries (power cells) are full of charge. Your Total Hopefulness Score comes from adding up ten kinds of questions (the ten "batteries" or power cells that power hope.). There are two kinds of Mastery questions, two kinds of Attachment questions, three kinds of Survival questions, and three kinds of Spiritual questions about God or great unseen powers. After looking at your total score, for a cost of ten US dollars you can choose to see your scores for the four kinds of questions (Mastery, Attachment, Survival, and Spiritual powers). You can also see your scores for each of the ten power cells that make up the four kinds of questions.
High Score. Congratulations! You have attained a strong critical MASS, enough hope to handle the challenges that confront human beings, from cradle to grave. You have a well-balanced hope, aligned with the greatest insights and prescriptions offered in psychology, philosophy, medicine, and pastoral care. You have life-defining goals and are fortunate to have people in your life who support you in these endeavors. You are immersed in a social network of trusted allies who are reliable as well as nurturing. You have internalized caring experiences that are imprinted at a deep level. You rarely feel trapped or held captive by life circumstances because of a strong imagination that can transport you to better times and places. You can access resources when problems arise. Your spiritual beliefs provide inspiration, a sense of abiding presence, and the ability to transcend suffering.

Mastery Hope Score:
31
/16
Your Mastery Hope score comes from two kinds of questions. Your Goal Progress score shows if you believe you are strong enough to make your plans work and have your dreams come true. Your Goal Support score shows if you have enough help from other people to make your plans work and your dreams to come true.
Your score may represent a moderate (but not a high degree) of clarity and confidence about your aspirations and support for these desires (Goal Progress). Alternatively, you may possess great clarity and confidence, but experience limited or only partial support for these aspirations (Goal Support). What is holding you back from a life of greater mastery? Clarity needs to come first, then support will follow.

You have a strong sense of purpose. There are times in your life that reveal a discernable spiritual presence. This does not mean that you have fully met all of your mastery, attachment, or survival needs. However, you have enough hope, at a spiritual level, to trust that you will get enough done in your lifetime, that you will not be abandoned or forgotten, and that suffering is not forever.(spiritualityDisplayTextId): 42d7374c-0e2c-41d8-b035-96e0aaba131a(totalHopefulnessScale): Total Hopefulness(totalHopefulnessBand): high(totalHopefulnessSum): 161(totalHopefulnessGauge): 81(totalHopefulnessDisplayText): High Score.
