THE IKIGAI TEST
ARE YOU WANTING TO MEASURE YOUR LEVEL OF IKIGAI?
Despite the claims of other websites promoting their own versions of ikigai tests, the only peer reviewed evidence based tool to measure one's level of ikigai is the IKIGAI-9 SCALE.
The ikigai-9 scale is a psychometric tool originally published and validated in 2012 by three psychology researchers at Tokyo’s Mejiro University: Tadanori Imai, Hisao Osada, and Yoshitsugu Nishimura.17 In 2019, it was translated and validated for a UK sample by Dr Dean Fido of the University of Derby and Dr Yasuhiro Kotera of the University of Nottingham.18
The ikigai-9 offers a means of measuring ikigai across three dimensions:
- optimistic and positive emotions towards life
- active and positive attitudes towards one's future
- the acknowledgement of the meaning of one's existence
If you want to measure your current level of ikigai take this test.
