During the fall of 2006 a population survey measure of Gross National Happiness was developed and pretested by the Centre of Bhutan Studies for use in Bhutan.
The final survey instrument was composed of 1500 variables across eleven domains and took between 4 to 7 hours to administer.
Attempted to use items from other national or international surveys so that comparisons with other applications would be possible.

Why Another Survey? There are variety of surveys that
measure happiness and life satisfaction
Other individual surveys measure individual domains
GNH Survey attempts to incorporate happiness and domains into one survey instrument

CURRENT STATUS: Bhutanese Survey
300+ interviews completed Another 800+ to be completed by
spring Preliminary data analysis on original
sample now being done by CBS

GeneralizabilityMany of the items were specific to the Bhutanese context
and would not be relevant to other cultures or nations.
Six hour interview not feasible in most applications
A shorter and more generic version of the survey is being developed for use in other jurisdictions.

Largest Challenge Breadth of domains Everything is related to
happiness/unhappiness How do you measure “everything”
without a six hour interview
