SELF ASSESSMENT INTRODUCTION
The Wellness Compass offers different self-assessments specifically designed for adult, parent, and teen populations. Each self-assessment consists of eighty statements, ten for each of the eight areas of wellness. Respond to the statements with a number between 0 and 10, based on the scale below. All three self-assessments are available in both English and Spanish.
The self-assessment is simply a snapshot of your life at this very moment. Your scores are not “good” or “bad,” nor are they “strong” or “weak .” They are not a measure of a person’s worthiness, nor is it a diagnosis of any kind. It might be helpful to think of the Compass as a garden. Your results show areas of the garden you have been watering, and which areas may be in need of some additional watering.
There are several ways to engage with the results of your self-assessment.
You can save your results for future reference.
You might share your results with others who might offer you support in making your desired changes.
You may want to download or order the Wellness Compass Notebook that aligns with your assessment and is offered on this website; Adult, Parent, or Teen. Each of these groups of resources offers an examination of each area of wellness and helps you reflect on what you might want to do differently going forward.
