Abstract waves of light

Check Your Goodness Score™

Fifteen honest questions. About four minutes. One private mirror — scored by the same rubric for everyone, and built so you can come back and see what has improved.

Yes, no — and what happened next

Most questions ask what you actually did, not what you believe. Say yes and a follow-up asks how often, or what you did. Say no and it asks why. What you did always counts for more than what you say you would do.

Five foundations, one score

Integrity, Responsibility, Compassion, Respect and Stewardship each get their own score out of 100. Your Goodness Score is the whole of them — and the ring on your card shows all five at a glance.

A score that grows

Come back in a few weeks. The questions will be new, the check a little deeper, and the result shows what improved, what held steady and what needs attention.

How your questions change

Goodness Score™ — questions and answers

What is a Goodness Score?
A Goodness Score is a number out of 100 that reflects how consistently you practise the five foundations of goodness — integrity, responsibility, compassion, respect and stewardship — in everyday situations. It is a mirror for your own use, not a judgement of your worth.
How is the Goodness Score calculated?
Every question is worth up to three points under a fixed rubric, so the same answers always produce the same score. Questions that do not apply to your life are left out rather than counted against you. Points are added up for each foundation and for the whole, then expressed out of 100.
How long does it take?
The first check has 15 questions and takes about four minutes. When you return, the check uses 40 questions, mostly ones you have not seen before, and takes about ten minutes, so that the comparison with your earlier score is fair.
Do I need to sign up?
Yes, but there is no password. A free account keeps your results so you can see how you grow: you sign in with a 6-digit code sent to your email, read and accept a short privacy declaration, and tell us your age group, profession and where you live so the questions fit your life.
Is my Goodness Score private?
Yes. Your results are saved to your own account on servers in Mumbai, India, and only you can see your answers. They are never sold or used for advertising, and you can download or delete everything at any time. To fit questions to your life, AI sees only your profession, area and age group — never your name, email or answers.
Can I improve my Goodness Score?
That is the point of it. Each result ends with one small, practical act for the week, aimed at your lowest foundation. Goodness is a practice; the score is simply a way to see the practice working.

Goodness grows when it is practised together
