Free Wellness Self-Assessment: Explore the Nine Dimensions of Wellness

A Starting Point for Your Wellness Journey

Wellness involves more than physical health. Our emotions, relationships, finances, surroundings, nutrition, purpose, and everyday activities can all influence our quality of life.

This assessment offers a simple way to reflect on how satisfied you feel with different areas of your life.

There are 27 statements, with three questions for each of the nine wellness dimensions. Most people can complete the assessment in about 5–10 minutes.

Your Wellness Assessment Results

These results summarize your personal ratings across the nine dimensions. They are intended to encourage reflection, not to judge your health or predict outcomes.

— Average rating out of 5

— Dimensions rated 4.0 or above

— Dimensions rated below 3.0

All nine dimensions are weighted equally. Each dimension is the average of its three statements. The overall rating is the average of all 27 responses. These cutoffs are descriptive only, not validated clinical thresholds.

Your Nine-Dimension Wellness Profile

Longer bars represent higher self-reported satisfaction or agreement with the statements in that dimension.

Scores range from 1 to 5. A lower rating is not a diagnosis, and a higher rating does not guarantee good health.

Areas You May Want to Explore

The following suggestions are based on your lowest-rated dimensions. They are possibilities, not requirements. Choose what matters most to you.

Recognizing Your Strengths

Wellness planning should include what is already working well, not just areas of concern.

Your Next Step

Consider choosing one dimension and one realistic action to begin. You do not need to change everything at once.

Your assessment results can help guide the priorities you choose in your personal wellness plan.
