Don't compare yourself with Instagram. Compare yourself with real people — based on real data.

The test has three steps. First you rate yourself, then you answer factual questions about your life — and see where you actually stand.

1

You rate yourself

The first question is about how it feels: the place you picture when you compare yourself with friends and your feed.

Feeling

Where do you think you stand in wealth among people in the US?

The bottom step is the poorest, the top step the richest.

You answer facts about your life

25 short questions across 5 areas: money, career, culture and experience, social life, body and health. No "how much do you agree" — only things that can be counted.

Characters are fictional

How we calculate your place.

Each answer becomes a percentile — the share of your peers you're ahead of in that area. The five areas combine into Your Index, where 100 is the middle.

Your Index measures resources, not your worth as a person. It's a statistical estimate for self-knowledge, not financial or medical advice.

Comparison group
Your sex, 5-year age group and country

Questions before the test.

How much does it cost?

Taking the test is free. Your full result and Life Card cost $2.99 and include 7 days of MyTestPro Full Access — every test on the site. After that it's $19.99/month; cancel anytime in your account. You see the price before you pay.

How do you know my country?

From where you open the page. If it's wrong, change it at the top of the page or in the test.

What if the result upsets me?

We show where you're behind and where you're ahead of most people — almost everyone has both. Your weakest area is room to grow, not a verdict.

How accurate is it?

It's a statistical estimate: your answers are compared with distributions from public data by the UN, the World Bank, the Federal Reserve, the CDC, Pew and Gallup. It shows your place in numbers; it doesn't judge you as a person.

Who sees my answers?

Only you. We don't ask for your last name, photo or contacts, and your Life Card is public only if you share it.

See where you really stand among people in the US.

25 questions, under 5 minutes. Honest numbers: where you're ahead, and where there's room to grow.
