Your Total Hopefulness Score is:

/80
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.
You have a good deal of room for improvement before attaining a critical MASS of hope. Are you low across the board, in each of the ten sub-scales? If this is the case, you might want to begin your hope-building with the attachment aspects (trust and connection), then address survival, then mastery, and finally, spirituality. More likely, you have an unbalanced hope, very low in some areas, moderate or even high in others. You still want to address attachment hope first but then prioritize the rest in accordance with the scores. Can you seek assistance with those areas that may be particularly difficult for you to develop?

Mastery Hope Score:
12
/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.
You might be less inclined to focus on long-term goals (versus living in the moment). You may have clear and strong desires but do not feel confident in making them a reality (Goal Progress). A third interpretation is that you possess great passion but have hardly any support or inspiration (Goal Support). You may want to seek out some value-clarification exercises and/or brainstorm to find a mentor or inspiring role model (nearby, remote, or even a historical figure).

Attachment Hope Score:
17
/16
Your Attachment Hope Score comes from two kinds of questions. Your Social Connection Score shows if you you feel that you have enough love and care from family and friends. Your Trust Score shows if you have enough trustworthy friends, family members, or other honest adults around you.
You may often feel alone in the world and wish you had more loving early care. You may question whether you have similar beliefs and values compared to those around you (Connections). You may be quite guarded around others and do not harbor much trust or faith in people (Trust). Start slowly. Find one person you can trust. Share a little of yourself, your likes, dislikes, and values. Wait for the other person to match your level of disclosure. Spend a little more time in a group setting even if you just listen and learn about others, verify your initial assumptions and fine-tune your gut.

Survival Hope Score:

Your Survival Hope Score comes from three kinds of questions. Your Personal Coping Score shows if you think you are good at solving problems. Your Coping Support Score shows if you have family, friends or people to help you solve problems. Your Freedom Score shows if you feel able to find ways to get out of trouble or escape from traps.
/24
You might feel trapped or limited (Liberty). You may struggle to imagine a better time or place. It is hard for you to gather good advice or information when there is trouble (Personal Coping). You wish there were more people to help you when something bad happens (Coping Support). Reach out to those with more vision and creativity. Be specific in your needs (options, imagination, advice, fact-finding, emotional or practical support). Look to resourceful extroverts or consult with a social worker skilled in securing resources for clients.

However, you may not believe this higher power cares about your personal dreams, need for connection, or safety. Alternatively, you may believe that this higher power exists but does not have the power to support your dreams, offer a presence, or provide protection (check your Inspiration, Presence, and Protection scores). You can look within a preferred religious or spiritual system for verses, meditations, songs, or rituals focused on one or more of the needs underlying hope. Alternatively, you can look across multiple religious or spiritual systems but be careful to avoid confusing yourself with conflicting belief systems.(spiritualityDisplayTextId): 603f496c-3298-4847-b126-24ddeab2fcae(totalHopefulnessScale): Total Hopefulness(totalHopefulnessBand): low(totalHopefulnessSum): 84(totalHopefulnessGauge): 42(totalHopefulnessDisplayText): You have a good deal of room for improvement before attaining a critical MASS of hope.
