Wellness Quiz

The Wellness IQ Test

This compact reflection quiz explores six dimensions of wellness: physical, environmental, mental, emotional, spiritual, and social health. The original test framework was provided by Dr. Robert Ivker, president of the American Holistic Medical Association; the questions below have been reconstructed into a shorter format.

Choose how often each statement feels true for you. For activities, use the frequency guide. For feelings and attitudes, answer by your best sense of how often you experience them.

0 Never/almost never (once a year or less)
1 Seldom (2–12 times a year)
2 Occasionally (2–4 times a month)
3 Often (2–4 times a week)
4 Regularly (more than 4 times a week)
5 Daily (every day)
