0-29 is "Gentle Breeze" (still observing), 30-54 is "Rising Warmth" (the seeds are sprouting), 55-79 is "Strong Current" (you can feel the pull), and 80-100 is "Ready to Fly" (your heart already packed). But honestly, the index is not a verdict — it's a mirror. A 40 with no support system can hurt more than a 70 with savings ready. Read the number alongside how you actually feel.

Completely normal. Your willingness to leave isn't a fixed personality trait; it's a weather report. A great Friday lunch with the team might drop you 15 points; a Sunday night staring at Monday's calendar could push you up 20. The pattern over weeks tells you more than any single number — if you keep landing in "Strong Current" no matter what week you take it, that itself is the answer.

Treat the score as a starting question, not an instruction. Three small moves help: (1) Notice which "reason" Chips you ticked the most — that's the real pain point, often more useful than the number itself. (2) Compare your "reasons" with your "preparations" — high reasons + zero preparations means the answer might be "start preparing" rather than "leave". (3) If your score is in Strong Current or higher, check the Living Expense Runway tool to convert "I want to leave" into "how many months can I afford to". The score doesn't decide; it just helps you ask better questions.

A bit of both, honestly. The 4-4-6 breathing is there to slow you down for a minute and a half, so you are less likely to answer straight out of the mood you walked in with. But yes, it's also a soft "are you really ready to look at this?" gate — quizzes about your job hit different at 11pm after a bad meeting. If you're rushing through it and tempted to skip, that itself is information.

First, prick up your ears — when "none of these match" comes up strongly, your reason is usually either unusually personal (a specific person, a specific incident) or so big you haven't named it yet. Try this: write the reason in one sentence on a sticky note before retaking the test, then pick the 2-3 closest options. Often the score is still accurate because adjacent reasons capture most of the weight. If it remains stubbornly off, that's a sign your situation deserves a longer conversation than a quiz can hold.

There's no failing here. A low score just means today, the weights aren't piled up — and that's worth knowing too. The point of the tool is to honor what you actually feel, not to push you toward leaving. Plenty of people open this quiz on a particularly rough Tuesday and find their score lower than expected; that's a quiet kind of relief, not a verdict that your discomfort isn't real. "Wanting a change occasionally" and "needing to leave" are different signals, and both deserve respect.

Yes. The built-in share action offers a score-and-tier image and a replayable result link. The image omits your answer categories; the result link encodes them in its URL hash so the recipient can see the same report. Use the image for a low-detail public share, and send the result link only to someone you trust.
