Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some questions and answers to help you use the Mini-MANS-LD

What will happen if I take the Mini-MANS-LD?
We will ask you 9 questions about how happy you are with different parts of your life.
The things you tell us are private and nobody else will know what you have told us. We won’t ask for your name, so we won’t know who you are. Because we don’t know who you are, we can’t tell anyone what you have said.
We do keep the scores that you give, so they can help us make our questions even better.
We will also ask about how hard you found it to answer our questions and how we might make them better.
You do not have to answer any questions you do not want to.
At the end, you can ask for a copy of your scores to be emailed to you. You need to give us your email for this, but we will only use this to send you your scores.
How do I answer the Mini-MANS-LD questions?
First you go to the Mini-MANS-LD page here https://meetmyneeds.org/t-questionnaire/
Click on “Click here to take the Mini-MANS-LD”
This will take you to a page with some information about the Mini-MANS-LD, and then you can decide if you want to answer the questions.
On each page, there is a question (like ‘Overall, do you feel your life is…?’) and then 5 different options you can choose (Very Good, Good, OK, Bad, Very Bad).
You can read the question yourself or choose for the computer to read it for you, then you can choose one of the options.
Once you have picked your answer, click the blue arrow at the bottom of the page to go to the next question.
If you need help understanding the questions, ask your supporter to click the button, for some question prompts:
How do you keep my answers private?
We do keep the scores and feedback that you give, so they can help us make our questions even better. We do not know who you are or any information about you. This means your scores are completely private.
If you do give us your email address so we can send you a copy of your scores, we only use this email to send you your scores. We will not keep this email for any other use.
What if I want to share my scores with anyone else?
You are free to share your scores with anyone that you want to. We will not share your answers with anyone, but you can if you want to.
What if I need help to complete the Mini-MANS-LD?
You can ask a supporter, professional, friend or family member to help you to go through the questions if you want to.
You can also have the questions read out by the computer, if you want to.
