Wheel of life online - score eight areas of your life

Rate from 1 to 10 how each area looks today: health, work, money, family, relationship, friends, growth and rest. The wheel draws as you go, and below it you see which area is lowest and where to start. The result stays in this browser and can be printed. No account.

How to use it

1. Set a score from 1 to 10 for each area. Rate how things are today, not how they should be.
2. Look at the shape. An even wheel, even a small one, says something different from a large one with a dent.
3. Pick one area to improve, usually the lowest, and set one small, concrete step in it with a deadline.
4. Come back in a few months and compare. The scores stay in this browser.

Common questions

What is the wheel of life?

A coaching exercise: split your life into a few areas, score each from 1 to 10 and plot the scores on a wheel. The shape shows at a glance where things are balanced and where something is clearly missing. It is usually credited to Paul J. Meyer, who created personal development programmes in the 1960s.

Is the wheel of life a psychological test?

No. It is a reflection tool, not a validated questionnaire: there are no norms and no score that diagnoses anything. Its value is that it makes you look at every area at once and choose one to start with.

How do I read the result?

There is no good or bad wheel. The gaps between areas say the most: one clearly below the rest is usually the best place for a first goal. The average helps compare with a wheel from a few months ago.

How often should I fill it in?

There is no rule. Every few months, or around a bigger change, works well in practice: that is when you can see whether the area you chose actually moved.

Do my scores go anywhere?

No. They stay in this browser only and are not sent to our server.
