Can something as subjective as wisdom be measured like stress or cholesterol? Some researchers have been trying to do just that. Among them is Monika Ardelt, a sociology professor at the University of Florida in Gainesville. Ardelt developed a questionnaire that attempts to assess how wise people are. The questionnaire contains 39 statements in three dimensions – cognitive, reflective and affective. Press the begin button below to answer the questionnaire. Once you have completed all the questions, you can see your wisdom score by pressing the results button.
