Universal Personal Freedom Index Quiz:
This 10-question quiz is designed to help you assess your Personal Freedom Index on a scale of 10. Each question draws from key ideas in rationalist, democratic, and philosophical sources to explore dimensions of personal freedom, such as mental autonomy, freedom from manipulation, and liberation from societal or religious constraints. Answer each question with a simple “Yes” (1 point) or “No” (0 points) based on how it applies to your life. Tally your “Yes” answers at the end for your score out of 10—a higher score indicates greater perceived personal freedom. Remember, this is a self-reflection tool inspired by these thinkers, not a clinical assessment.
- Mental Freedom: As B.R. Ambedkar emphasized, “Freedom of mind is the real freedom. A person whose mind is not free though he may not be in chains, is a slave, not a free man.” Do you feel your mind is truly free from external influences, biases, or unexamined beliefs that limit your thinking?
- Freedom from Attachments: In Buddha’s teachings, true freedom comes from liberation from rage, sorrow, and longing, leading beyond birth and decay. Are you free from emotional attachments, anger, or desires that cause you ongoing suffering or restrict your inner peace?
- Economic Autonomy: Karl Marx viewed freedom as the consciousness of necessity, warning that without it, individuals remain blind to exploitative structures. Do you feel in control of your economic choices, unbound by systemic necessities or capitalist pressures that dictate your life?
- Individual Liberty: John Stuart Mill argued that “the only freedom which deserves the name is that of pursuing our own good in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs.” Do you actively pursue your personal path without interfering in others’ freedoms or facing undue societal restrictions?
- Freedom from Fear: Bertrand Russell believed a good life cannot be founded on fear, prohibition, or mutual interference with freedom. Is your daily life free from fears, prohibitions, or external interferences that prevent you from living authentically?
- Freedom from Manipulation: Esther Vilar in The Manipulated Man noted that “men have been trained and conditioned by women, just as women have been trained and conditioned by men: man is not by nature a tyrant nor is woman by nature a slave.” Are you free from societal or gender-based manipulations that condition your behavior in relationships or roles?
- Self-Awareness and Control: Rollo Tomassi in The Rational Male stated that “true power isn’t about controlling others, but the degree to which you control the course of your own life and your own choices.” Do you feel self-aware of your own value and in full control of your life’s direction, independent of others’ expectations?
- Freedom from Religious Dogma: As highlighted in discussions on freedom from religion, “when one examines a human institution, the first thing one must do is discard all religious notions. They are poison to lucidity.” Have you freed yourself from religious beliefs or dogmas that cloud your rational judgment or limit your personal choices?
- Freedom from Controlling Influences: Steven Hassan’s Freedom of Mind focuses on helping loved ones escape controlling people, cults, and beliefs, emphasizing the importance of mental liberation. Are you free from controlling relationships, groups, or ideologies that dictate your thoughts or actions?
- Social Liberty: B.R. Ambedkar also stressed that “so long as you do not achieve social liberty, whatever freedom is provided by the law is of no avail to you.” Do you experience genuine social equality and liberty, unbound by caste, class, or any discriminatory norms in your community?
Scoring Your Freedom Index: Add up your “Yes” answers.
