If you completed a wheel at the beginning of the term, compare it to this wheel and look at the
changes. Complete the following on a sheet of paper or digital file:
■ Note the areas where you see the most change. Where have you grown, and how has your
self-perception evolved?
■ Note three creative ideas you came up with over the term that aided your exploration or
development.
■ Note three practical actions that you took that moved you toward your goals.
Let what you learn from this new wheel inform you about what you have accomplished and what
you plan to accomplish. Continue to grow your thinking skills and use them to manage the changes
that await you in the future.

KEY 12.9 Use this new Wheel of Successful Intelligence to evaluate
your progress.

With your new scores in hand, create the most updated representation of your thinking skills. In each of the three areas of the wheel, draw a
curved line approximately at the level of your number score and fill in the wedge below that line. Compare this wheel to your previous wheel and
note any change and development.
