The scale that has been applied is Noblejas (1994) for PIL(Purpose in Life) test in a sample of Spanish population according to the criteria of Crumbaugh and Maholick (1969). The levels of indefiniteness relating to the meaning of life obtained are interpreted as a range of possibilities for education action oriented to the students' comprehensive learning, according to the current European legal framework.
