The 8-area version is the short template most used in English, and Brazilian coaching often uses 12 areas in 4 quadrants of 3. There are countless variations: there is no official list. The tool has both templates ready and lets you rename, remove and add areas, from 4 to 14.
Personal, professional, relationships and quality of life.
Short version, slices of 45 degrees.
With 4 areas, each slice is a quarter turn.
With 14 areas, about 25.7 degrees per slice.
Three 30-degree slices make a quarter of the wheel.
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.
There is no fixed number. Most versions use 8 to 12. This tool accepts 4 to 14. With few areas the reading is simpler; with many, more detailed and more tiring.
We did not find a single source for the list of 12. The wheel is credited to Paul J. Meyer and versions vary between authors; the four-quadrant arrangement is a usage convention in Brazilian coaching, not a fixed rule.
You can, and should, if it does not make sense to you. Rename the area to something like "inner calm", "purpose" or "faith", or remove it. The wheel only helps if the areas are yours.
Family is time with relatives, and social life is time with friends, colleagues and community. Separating them helps you see who gets left out; if you prefer to combine them, the 8-area template already has "family and friends".

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.
Save today's wheel and compare it with another time, such as the end of last year. It stays on this device only.
