how to read your wheel of life
To read the wheel, look at three things in order: the average, which gives the overall level; the lowest areas, which say where attention is missing; and the unevenness, which says whether the wheel is round or full of spikes. Two wheels with the same average can call for very different responses.
Average 3.3 and unevenness 0.4: low and even overall.
Average 8.5 and unevenness 0.5: what to protect.
The fifth area, at 3, is the natural priority.
Unevenness 3.0: above 2 is very uneven.
The three lowest are the scores 3, 4 and 5.
Give each area a score from 0 to 10, with the controls or by tapping the wheel itself, and the chart draws instantly. Then read the average, the three lowest areas and the reflection questions, pick your lever and build a plan with up to three priorities.
It means your scores vary a lot across areas, with a standard deviation above 2. It is not a flaw: many people live that way in focused phases, like a big project. The warning sign is when the unevenness lasts months without a deliberate choice.
Not necessarily. An average of 8.5 with every score between 8 and 9 is a picture of satisfaction, but very high scores everywhere sometimes mean you did not stop to look candidly. Reread the areas with one question: what would I change if I had to give one point less?
Not always. The lowest score shows where attention is missing, but the lever may be another area. Choose the one that, once improved, would help the rest, and use the reflection questions to decide the first step.
Once a quarter is usually enough, plus at year end to close the cycle. Save each wheel to the history and compare: the change by area shows whether the plan is working.

Tap or drag on the wheel to set a score. The closer to the edge, the higher the score.
A reflection exercise, not a psychological or clinical assessment.
8 areas (minimum 4, maximum 14).
Unevenness is the typical distance between each score and the average (standard deviation). Zero is a perfectly round wheel; with scores from 0 to 10 the maximum possible is 5. The bands here (under 1, 1 to 2 and over 2) are only a reading guide.
Think about which area would make the others easier if it got better. It is often not the lowest one.
Up to 3 priorities, each with a goal, a first step and a date. It starts with your lever and the lowest areas.
