The Framework

About the 5-Area Life Assessment

The 5-Area Life Assessment is a structured self-assessment tool based on the Life Wheel method used by therapists, coaches, and psychologists. It evaluates your satisfaction across five core wellbeing dimensions: Mental, Emotional, Physical, Social, and Spiritual.

Unlike generic life satisfaction surveys, the 5-Area Life Assessment uses a research-informed framework that maps to the areas most consistently linked to overall life satisfaction in psychological research. It's the same assessment used in Module 1 of the Personal Development Master Workbook.

The assessment is completely free and requires no signup. It was created by Inner Work Co to help anyone get a clear, honest snapshot of where they stand, the essential first step in any personal development journey.
