tHE lIVING mORE lIGHTLY pROFILE

(excerpts from chapter five)

Completing this profile on-line will take 30 minutes or less. Remember, this is not a test. You are not being judged. The score you receive is your own. This is simply a tool for you to use in determining what lifestyle changes are most important to you.

Please note... Although we have tested this on-line profile thoroughly on a number of different browser platforms, we cannot guarantee that it will work on all browsers. In addition, if you are disconnected from the internet or leave this profile before you have completed it your score will be lost and you will have to begin again. We do not store your score -- to keep the profile anonymous -- and cannot retrieve it if you are disconnected. If you experience technical difficulties while taking the profile, we apologize, but we cannot take responsibility for errors that might occur due to incompatabile browsers or internet disconnections.

Instructions

To complete the profile simply answer each of the questions by clicking the radio button next to the appropriate answer. Your score will be passed on and tallied as you move from page to page. To maintain an accurate score we recommend that you DO NOT use your browser's back button at any time while taking the profile. ALWAYS USE THE "Continue To Next Section" BUTTON AT THE BOTTOM OF EACH PAGE.

Finally, don't try to do "well." Just be as honest as you can. You may be surprised. Please pay close attention to your choice for each statement as the sequence of options will vary. If any item is definitely not applicable, choose "n/a."

Key: R = Rarely; S = Sometimes; U = Usually; n/a = not applicable

Please note... we have included some items in this list primarily to promote further thought and reflection. We hope you won't let any single statement cloud your perception about the importance of the overall profile.
