The Wheel of Qualities: an honest map of character, by the facts

We do not measure a “level of spirituality” — we observe deeds from the past week. A strict rule is built into the form: the score opens only after a fact has been written down. No fact in 7 days — no score. The data is stored only in your browser.

ScoreMeaningCondition
0I do not observe the quality in actionNo fact from the last 7 days
1I remember after the situationUnderstood late, but saw it
2I apply it in simple situationsWhen it is easy — the quality shows
3I hold it under ordinary strainUnder strain at work or in the family, held it at least partly
4I keep it in a hard situationIn conflict, fear or tiredness the quality did not disappear
5The quality helps othersThrough it, things became clearer, calmer or more useful for others

The difference between a fact and a self-assessment is the whole point

  • Equilibrium — 2 — “on Wednesday I didn't answer the barb in the work chat; at home the same evening I snapped over a trifle”.
  • Gratitude — 3 — “on Friday I thanked the security guard by name for holding the door while I carried boxes”.
  • Striving — 1 — “all week I didn't remember why I am doing the project; I remembered only while filling in this line”.

Not a single line of “I've become calmer” or “I feel growth” — only events an outside witness would have seen. The Wheel is done after Day 45, when the emotional lift of the finale has passed and you can see what remained.

1Fact instead of self-imageWe learn to tell a fact from an opinion and a flattering self-story
2Triad of Striving: striving, devotion, solemnityWhere is my vector pointed — and what am I faithful to by deed?
3Triad of the Heart: love, selflessness, gratitudeWho felt warmer because of me — and whose work did I notice?
4Triad of Steadiness: equilibrium, courage, rhythmHow do I behave when it is hard, frightening or routine?
5The Arch of Measure: containment, co-measurement, joyWas my measure precise — and what was I able to contain?
6Assembling the wheelFor each of the 12 qualities — a score of 0–5 plus one fact
7ChoiceOne supporting quality and one growth quality for 90 days

The outcome of the diagnosis: a supporting quality (the strongest score — the one you lean on) and a growth quality for 90 days (the most honest gap). Only one growth quality is chosen — spreading yourself thin breaks the cycle. Next — the Practicum and the 90-day notebook.

The history of your Wheels

Stored in this browser. The yearly ring: four seasonal Wheels — the dynamics are visible from the second measurement; the gap that was a “2” a year ago has become a “4”, and you have the facts why.
