A driven life quality is characterized by?

• A. High Hedonia and High Eudaimonia
• B. High Hedonia only
• C. High Eudaimonia only
• D. Low Hedonia and Low Eudaimonia

Answer: (A)

This item tests how life quality is highest when both pleasurable experiences and meaningful engagement are present. Hedonia is about experiencing pleasure and positive feelings in the moment, while eudaimonia is about living in line with your values, pursuing meaningful goals, and personal growth. A driven life blends both: you enjoy the journey and feel genuine pride and purpose from pursuing goals. When both are high, you get satisfying daily experiences and deep fulfillment from meaningful progress, leading to the strongest overall life quality. If you rely only on pleasure, fulfillment may be short-lived; if you pursue meaning without enjoyable experiences, motivation can wane. So, high hedonia together with high eudaimonia best characterizes a driven life quality.
