There’s no doubt you’re successful, but just how successful are you? Well, success is very individual. It’s not just about what you do, but why you do it and how you feel about it. It is also about creating a legacy—a positive impression for future generations. Although there’s no set metric for measuring success, this quiz, compiled exclusively for Executive Travel by a team of experts, can give you some insight into how you feel about your own level of success. Be sure to include four “personal importance” attributes that are relevant to your own life (maybe you want to travel abroad or scuba dive, or perhaps you recently began volunteering with the elderly). Choose anything you’re passionate about to help make a possible score of 100. At the end, total your ratings for each attribute. —SRC

85 or greater: Congratulations. You are a true success. You have found that “executive balance” between the tangible, traditional measurements, such as income and net worth, and the intangible, such as time and personal gratification, says University of Phoenix professor Ted Sun, DM, author of Secrets of Success.

65 to 84: You’re moving toward a high level of success. “But at what cost?” asks Concepts in Success president Joshua Estrin. “Don’t lose sight of that quest for balance.”

45 to 64: You’re middle-of-the-road. “Your success in some areas has resulted in major sacrifices in other areas,” says 24/7 Innovation Group founder Stephen Shapiro, creator of the “Goalaholic” quiz at www.goalfreeliving.com. “Pump some passion in your life.”

Below 45: Ask yourself if your life’s goals have changed. “Maybe it’s time to reevaluate and make a new plan,” says Estrin, author of Shut Up and Listen to Yourself. Focus first on improving your rating in those areas you marked as being important to you.
