The well-being score is the average of the 8 well-being drivers.
People answer the well-being survey questions on a likert-like 0 to 5 scale where 5 is the best and 0 is the worst. This is called the raw score.
The raw score is converted to a 0 to 100 scale by multiplying the raw score by 20.
To give an example: Any score of 3 is converted to 60, and a score of 4 to 80.
Full example
John is a senior engineer working in a technology company.
He has answered the well-being Pulse survey today. Here is how his scores across the 8 drivers have turned out:
| Driver | Raw score | Driver score |
|---|---|---|
| Contribution | 4 | 80 |
| Development | 3 | 60 |
| Social | 5 | 100 |
| Support | 4 | 80 |
| Mindful | 4 | 80 |
| Life harmony | 5 | 100 |
| Recognition | 3 | 60 |
