Which term describes a holistic, client-centered self-assessment across life domains?

• A. Wellness Wheel
• B. Personal Health Inventory (PHI)
• C. Biometric Data
• D. Scaling Question

Answer: (A)

The wellness wheel provides a holistic, client-centered self-assessment across life domains by inviting the client to evaluate their current satisfaction in areas such as physical health, emotional well-being, relationships, work, finances, and personal growth. This creates a visual map of balance and gaps, guiding conversations to set goals that truly reflect the client’s values. Because it is driven by the client's own reflections, it emphasizes their perspective and priorities, which is central to effective wellness coaching. In contrast, a Personal Health Inventory focuses more on health history and specific health behaviors, rather than a broad cross-domain view. Biometric data are objective measurements of physiology and do not capture subjective life-domain satisfaction. A scaling question is a technique to rate intensity or readiness on a numeric scale, but it doesn’t itself provide the comprehensive, multi-domain self-assessment that the wellness wheel offers.
