Assessment Evaluations
There are various ways to evaluate your assessment scores. One way is to look at the individual statements and notice where you gave yourself scores of 1 or 2. These are specific areas that need improvement and steps should be taken immediately to correct these deficits.
The second way is to take the total scores in each section and compare how balanced they are in relation to each other. Are your scores in the Financial Health Assessments much higher than in the Emotional Health Assessments? Such a discrepancy would indicate that while you are earning plenty of money, you're dissatisfied with how you're doing it. If your Emotional Health Assessment scores in both the Personal and Professional assessments are low, then assistance should be sought to investigate whether your personal life is affecting your practice life or vice versa.
For a graphic representation of how scores in the various categories contribute to the overall balance and satisfaction in your life, plot the total scores attained in each area on the Total Success Wheel. (Figure 1) With the center of the wheel as zero and the outermost circumference one hundred, draw an arc that corresponds to your score in each category. The variance or imbalance of the category scores will determine how regular or irregular the wheel appears. If one was to imagine the wheel to be a tire on a bike, then the more irregular the tire wheel the bumpier the ride. If we take this representation one step further and imagine one wheel on the bike is our Personal Success wheel and the other the Practice Success wheel, we can visualize the concept that Total Success is based on both wheels being balanced and in alignment with each other.
